Welcome to Bears By 7

Hey there, Bears fans

My name is Kevin Kaduk and if you've been around the Bears Internet space, there's a good chance we've already met.

For the past few years, I helped CHGO Bears become the place for Bears coverage on the Internet. Before that, I founded the popular Midway Minute newsletter that got a lot of Chicago sports fans (including me) through the pandemic and a few bad seasons.

Now I'm building Bears By 7 as the team enters its most hopeful era since I was knee high to the Punky QB.

So what's the pitch?

A free morning newsletter gathering everything you need to know about the Bears with a healthy dose of analysis, links and fun.

Does the world really need another Bears outlet?

If there's one thing I've learned the past few years, it's that hunger for Bears information is unending.

Plus, what I'm planning is different from what's out there.

To consume Bears coverage on the Internet these days means fighting a sea of articles, algorithms with no regard for your experience and bad actors on social media.

Bears By 7 cuts through all that noise with all the information a Bears fan needs to start their day.

How often will I receive it?

Every weekday during the times of year it makes sense. Think regular season, training camp, draft season and, oh yes, playoffs.

The rest of the year we'll publish 2-3x a week or as warranted.

Is Bears By 7 just a newsletter?

The best newsletters are communities and I want this to be a place Bears fans come to feel connected, no matter if they're living in Sauganash or Sweden.

This is something we'll grow together and the early community here will shape what it becomes. Your ideas and feedback matter because I'm building this for Bears fans.

How do you plan to support it?

Ah yes, the pesky question of every sports media venture!

The newsletter will always be free, but it'll be supported from multiple sources including memberships, advertising and affiliate links.

If you'd like to be among the first sponsors, email me

Why is it called Bears By 7?

Because the Bears winning by a touchdown is always a beautiful thing.

Also, the newsletter should land in your inbox by 7 am CT.

Anything else?

Look, I've been a fan of this team through bad quarterbacks, bad front offices and 30 years of pain when we played the Packers. We're finally out of the darkness and I want Bears by 7 to be the place we enjoy the good times together.

So sign up below if you haven't already. It's free, it's worth it and I promise it'll be the best way to start your day as a Bears fan.
