Some essentials for best Bears viewing:

EXPERIENCE LIVE COLOR COMMENTARY
Forget the made-for-TV analysis; hire a former Bear to provide some sideline stories.
"A Chicago legend like a Gale Sayers or Richard Dent will run you about $20,000 for a private party, where a Curtis Enis or Rashaan Salaam should be paying you as a Bears fan to attend your party," said Marc Ippolito, president of Burns Entertainment and Sports Marketing, an Evanston based talent booking agency.

INVITE A CUDDLY BEAR
Get Staley, the 340-pound official mascot of the Bears, to come over (he attends parties when the team is on the road or not playing). His visit costs $125 to $400 for a one-to two-hour gig. To read Staley's humorous biography and find info about booking the furry fellow, go to Staley's Web site, www.chicagobears.com/staley
