The now-retired McMahon, who is 65 and lives in Florida, owned the mansion from the time it was built in 1988 until selling it in 2009.

Despite the ominous cloud of negativity that's inching its way toward Halas Hall after ESPN broke the story of Caleb Williams not wanting to play for the Chicago Bears before the 2024 NFL Draft, there's still a sense of optimism surrounding coach Ben Johnson and the 2025 iteration of this team.

FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd has been impressed with what the Bears have done this offseason, which prompted him to predict a high-place finish in the NFC North -- and their first playoff berth since 2020.

Monday Night Football schedule kicks off with an NFC North showdown between the Vikings and Bears on Sept. 8, when Ben Johnson makes his head-coaching debut for Chicago.

Last season, the Minnesota Vikings —Chicago’s Week 1 opponent here in 2025—swept the Bears by a combined score of (gulp) 60-39. Save for D.J. Moore ’s seven-catch, 106-yard, one-touchdown performance in their first matchup on November 24, no Bear offensive skill player comported himself particularly well.

The folks at FanDuel have released their odds for the first week of the season, and they show the Vikings as being a 1.5-point underdog to the Chicago Bears for their Monday Night Football matchup at Soldier Field.
