July 27, 2007 Back in business
Bears arrive at Olivet ready to continue Super Bowl goal Unfinished business is a matter foremost on the minds of the Chicago Bears. The defending National Football Conference champions arrived at Olivet Nazarene University Thursday in advance of the opening of their sixth training camp at the Bourbonnais facility. The first practice is set for 3 p.m. today. Coach Lovie Smith is entering his fourth year at the helm; and when he first arrived in 2004, he announced the goal of winning the Super Bowl. It didn't seem realistic at the time; but after coming within a step before losing to the Indianapolis Colts last February, only one challenge remains for the Bears. "We took a big step this past year, getting to the Super Bowl," Smith said. "Of course that was big, but we still didn't achieve our ultimate goal, which was to win the Super Bowl. So we are going back to work to try to make that happen." Team members received their NFC championship rings Thursday night. They will serve as both keepsakes and a reminder of what lies ahead. "It's very motivating," cornerback Charles Tillman said. "Because now we've been there and lost. We want to get back there."
