D: What are your favorite healthy foods?

Alexa Bliss: Brussels Sprouts are my favorite. Bananas are my favorite fruit.

D's Follow Up: My Gramma tried to give me brussels sprouts once and I didn't want to try them. I like bananas but they are not my favorite like mangoes, strawberries and blueberries.


J: Who was your favorite wrestler growing up?

AB: Trish Stratus... and also Rey Mysterio.

J's Follow Up: I love Rey Mysterio a lot because of all the awesome moves he does jumping off of the top rope. I also love all of the masks he wears.

I never really saw Trish Stratus wrestle. She is back in the WWE again and I look forward to watching her wrestle Alexa at Evolution.




It was our second time meeting WWE women's superstar Alexa Bliss as she visited the Cricket Wireless store in Harwood Heights, IL on Monday, October 8th. It was Columbus Day for the boys and I, and apparently every other WWE fan in the Chicagoland area. We arrived an hour and a half before the signing and we barely made it in to meet Alexa before the 1 pm deadline with hundreds of fans still behind us. 


Alexa was happy to sign Danny's blue Money in the Bank briefcase and she was even more thrilled to sign Jordan's Women's Money in the Bank briefcase, which is exactly like the one she won back in June at the Allstate Arena. Jordan and I were in the building the night she won the briefcase and cashed it in later in the event during the Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey championship match.

It was a long day of waiting but it was worth every minute to meet our favorite women's superstar, Alexa Bliss.

D: What's your favorite NFL memory so far?

Anthony Miller: My first touchdown. Did you see my dance?

D's Follow Up: His first TD catch was cool as he beat the Seahawks DB in the corner of the end zone. His dance was a little bit like Hype from Fortnite. I wonder if he's ever played Fortnite against Tarik Cohen?



J: What are your favorite healthy foods to eat before a game?

Anthony Miller: I'm not going to lie, I eat what I want. But bananas are good before a game and so are peanuts. Water is best for you too.

J's Follow Up: I love bananas because every time my Dad or Gramma buy them, I eat about 3 or 4 of them. Peanuts are not my thing though, I don't like them.

J: What's your favorite part about living in Chicago?

Anthony Miller: I don't really have one yet but I do like the vibe of the big city.

J's Follow Up: A lot of players say that the food is their favorite part about Chicago. I like visiting Chicago but I like the suburbs too. My favorite part of the city is the skyscrapers and all of the fun things to do.


On Monday, October 1st, J and I drove out to Bergie's Sports Card Dugout in Highland Park to meet Chicago Bears star rookie, Anthony Miller. The Bears ended their Sunday with a huge 48-10 win against the Buccaneers heading into the bye week and Anthony Miller came to Bergie's to meet with his fans. The boys and I have been talking about Anthony since the day the Bears drafted him, so J and I were excited to meet him in person.


Jordan came prepared with questions and he even brought the pair of gloves Anthony wore at his Fanatics photo shoot. We won them in an online auction and we have been looking to get them signed ever since. Anthony was even surprised to see them saying, "Are these my gloves? I guess they are, they are even my size too." 


Anthony was as awesome as we'd hoped he would be and he was excited to take J's questions and answer them. We hope Anthony can make a quick return from his shoulder injury and get back out on the field soon so he can get back to making plays for our Chicago Bears. Miller is a big play guy and we'll be rooting for him and his teammates each week as they look to make the playoffs this season. We'll also be cheering for Anthony in person from the sideline on October 28th as we attend the Play 60 game at Soldier Field against the Jets!
