Ever get a take-home math problem so prejudiced against an NFL team that you wish you had an All-Pro cornerback from that team on hand to help you answer it with a personal note to the teacher who assigned it? One lucky girl in a Chicago-area school district found herself in a position to ask Bears player Charles Tillman to do just that. Tillman was appearing at a promotional event in a store owned by the girl's father when he was approached by the student with this bit of homework, for which Tillman had the exact right answer:

• This is Charles "Peanut" Tillman of the Chicago Bears and I'm shocked that you would have a problem like this for your students. The probability that the Bears would win in my opinion is 100%. Please do not and I repeat DO NOT send them home with math homework that is disrespectful to our team, city and our beloved Chicago Bears.
