Davey Mac here...and football season is in full swing.  We've got a good feel of who the good teams are and who the bad teams are and who will probably be going to the playoffs.

And that means that we're not getting a ton of Super Bowl stories.  For instance, Nickelodeon will have a SpongeBob Squarepants broadcast where SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and more characters will announce the game.

So...in honor of this fun time of year for football fans...we're flashing back to some of the best sketches in Saturday Night Live history...it's...Da Bears!  Join us now for a look back on these hysterical sketches!  And enjoy your football!

Now, technically the name of the sketch is Bill Swerski's Superfans.  In this first video, Joe Mantegna plays local Chicago TV host Bill Swerski as he's joined by Mike Meyers, Robert Smigel, and Chris Farley.

In this follow-up edition of the sketch, George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) plays Bob Swerski, who has to fill in for his brother Bill because Bill suffered a bunch of heart attacks recently.

We continue with Bob Swerski and get into insane debates on this very special Thanksgiving installment of Superfans.

It's a rare edition of Superfans where they look at basketball and are joined by Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

The Superfans write a letter to the Bears and it is fantastic.
