6. Chicago Bears

6. Chicago Bears

Only one season ago, the Chicago Bears finished dead last in the NFC North division with a record of 5-11. One year later, the Chicago Bears ended the regular season atop of the NFC North with a record of 12-4 and are now in contention of a Super Bowl in their future. Second-year quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, was able to lead the team offensively while the acquisition of Khalil Mack helped the Bears become the defensive powerhouse the football franchise is known for.

The old school Chicago Bears fans are riding high on their 1986 Super Bowl victory while new-age fans are waiting for the team to rise to championship prominence once again. Only time will tell what the Bears will be able to bounce back after Cody Parkey's 'double-doink' missed field goal kick that eliminated them from this year's playoffs. Prior to the beginning of the 2018-19 NFL season, the Chicago Bears were ranked 4th in fan equity, 12th in social equity, and 12th in road equity.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
