Chicago Bears

Not played yet · now 3–1

Say this

“The Bears? Sunday, at Green Bay, one o’clock. Three and one going in. I wouldn’t say more than that before kick-off.”

If they reply

• “Bears and Packers on Sunday, then.”
  “Three and one against two and two. Records are for people who didn’t watch the games.”
• “Did you catch the Bears on Thursday?”
  “They didn’t play on Thursday. Only Tampa Bay and Dallas did. Nice try, though.”

If you’re stuck

“The thing about the Bears is the record says three and one, and the record hasn’t had to go to Green Bay yet.”

Bluff difficulty: 1/5 — Nothing to explain. Say “Sunday” and leave.
