The first of many banners I hope and this first one made is by me(of course the art is from Vancouver Canucks logos and photos).

Of course not everybody is going to be a fan of this banner so expect more to come.

So I'll use this opportunity to introduce myself.

My name's Alfon
As you guessed I am a big sport aficionado. I mainly follow Basketball(NBA and College Basketball) and Football(NFL and College Football).
My favorite teams are Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bears.
One of my favorite sports moment has to be Game 6 1998 NBA finals and Jordan's final shot.
And one of my favorite athletes of all is Hakeem Olajuwon.

Two of my favorites are Vinsanity and Air Jordan. Both are just classic and shall be remembered forever.

I still think people underestimates LBJ's triple double in the finals, one of the great finals feats for sure.

Welcome Steve, fellow bears fan!

So what do you think of our reloaded WR corps? I'm pretty stoked to see that passing attack, Cutler to Marshall All day!

Cutler and Marshall will be sick but don't forget, Earl Bennett has the lowest drop rate percentage over the past 3 years. I think he will have a dynamite season as well.

Yah Bennett was solid last year and thank god he was, because roy williams didn't do squat to help out.

Also you got Alshon too, this receiving corps is probably the best the Bears ever had in a while.

[An Enemy Spy]

How was Johnny Knox after he got bent backward against the Seahawks? I never really heard how that all turned out.

[Alfon]

I believe he'll be missing the entire season this year.

Real unfortunate injury...
