Wednesday, January 7, 2026 10:34PMHe is a Bears super fan. Brad Meyer is perhaps best known for his sermons delivered one hour before the kickoff of every Bears home game. The tailgate is organized by a group of friends who've been doing it for decades.
It includes all the essentials, including enough food and drink to satisfy the appetites of even the most ferocious Bears fan. Aside from the sermons, Meyer's specialty is the hundred or so Bloody Marys he mixes and pours every tailgate.RELATED | Bears-Packers playoff watch parties planned in suburbs, NW Indiana, potential cities for new stadium; Indiana governor says he's working to get Bears across state border The tailgate has drawn some famous visitors over the years, including Bears Chairman George McCaskey and Hall of Fame Bear Richard Dent. Meyer was born a Bears fan and he has quite a collection of Bears memorabilia to show off, including a couple of signed footballs from Walter Payton. As for the sermons, Meyer says he waits until the night before the game to write them so he has the most up to date injury and weather reports, and some of them might not necessarily be appropriate in church. "If it's the Packers, we might say Green Bay sucks," Meyer said. "Pardon us, but it's the oldest rivalry in the NFL."Fellow tailgaters have come to expect his sermons before every game, and Meyer pours a lot of thought and research into them. So when he's asked if he's going to continue doing them, the answer is simple. "I say does a one-legged duck swim in a circle?" Meyer said. "I think I'll be doing the sermon this week." Traditionally at the end of every sermon, Meyer offers a prediction for to the score of the game. And while he is not ready to release that just yet, "Bear Down Brad" told ABC7 he believes the Bears will be advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
