Ever make a promise in the heat of the moment, like "I'll go to church every Sunday," or "I would love you 'til the end of time," and then think better of it? Fortunately for you and Bears safety Chris Harris, these aren't legal contracts, according to Fox Chicago. Harris promised the cable access guy that, if it went down that way, he'd follow the Bears to the Super Bowl, but reneged on the promise. (Fortunately for the Guy, a local ticket broker is hooking him up.)
