@thesportsontap: Caleb Williams walked into Soldier Field today with a matcha in one hand and wired headphones in his ears. The stadium he was walking into sells a cocktail based on that exact drink. Chicago has decided this whole routine means they are going to win. And honestly, you cannot blame them, because of what this franchise has never had. The Chicago Bears have existed since 1920. In over a century of football, they have never had a single 4,000 yard passer. Not one. Ever. Sid Luckman did not do it. Jim McMahon did not do it in a Super Bowl season. Jay Cutler, in eight years, did not do it. Mitchell Trubisky did not do it. Justin Fields did not do it. Every other franchise in the NFL has one. Chicago has zero. So a city that spent a hundred years watching quarterbacks not be the answer got Caleb Williams, and it has latched onto absolutely everything about him. The matcha. The wired headphones. The nail polish. Bears fans started painting their nails. They started drinking matcha. Then the team leaned all the way in. Levy Restaurants, who run the concessions at Soldier Field, created an actual cocktail called WIRED IN. Earthy matcha, coconut milk and rum, served in a 16 ounce Chicago Bears souvenir cup. So the cup in his hand walking through that tunnel has a menu item named after it, inside the building he is walking into. That is not a marketing idea forced from the top down. That came from fans watching a 24 year old walk into a stadium and deciding his tea was a good omen. And it is working so far. Chicago dropped 59 points on Carolina in Week 1 and hosts Minnesota today. Here is what makes it more than a funny drink. Superstition only shows up where hope has been scarce. Nobody invents rituals around something they take for granted. Chicago has been taken for granted by its own quarterback position for a hundred years. So when one finally shows up who might be the guy, the city does not politely wait for the stats. It buys the tea. #nfl #nflfootball #bears #chicagobears #calebwilliams
