Thursday night’s NFL game between the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers didn’t really feature much to talk about, as even Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit struggled to maintain interest in the sluggish contest.
While they welcomed Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce into the booth, Michaels caught a glimpse of a Bears fan with a big bear hat and bear claws on in the Soldier Field crowd.
Michaels found the perfect quip while the Bears fan was on the screen, saying that it was nice that ESPN College GameDay staple Lee Corso was in attendance for the game, which got a laugh from Herbstreit and Kelce.

Look, the fact that they found things to talk about during this game was very impressive. We’ll take what we can get!
The Bears and the Panthers didn’t provide much entertainment, but a nice little chuckle from Michaels certainly helped keep us engaged, if only for a brief moment in time.
