THE DAILY SPONGIE TJGOBIG SPECIAL
You are getting a bonus Saturday Den today because I simply could not pass up a chance to inflict one more bad 80’s music video on you... so... here you go! “Enjoy”.
By special request by Hoosier Glen and the rest of the gang, we’ve got to go there...
Next week? Surprisingly good 80’s videos you may not remember! Warning ahead of time, some of them have a bit of an “edge” to them.
BEAR DOWN, CHICAGO BEARS, BEAR DOWN!!!!

Adam Shaheen could use fresh start away from Bears - Bears Wire - Bears tight ends were woefully ineffective in 2019. But Adam Shaheen has been the most frustrating disappointment. Ken's Note: Ya think, Bears Wire? Most of us here at the Den would rather watch 80's Swedish Hair Spray models try to sing a horrible song for charity in a video hosted by two creepy old guys than watch Adam Shaheen in a Bears uniform. Sadly, it's not even a close call! #ThanksEJSnyderForPuttingThatVidInOurHeads
