Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson humorously expressed his profound commitment to the team by saying he would rather cut off his testicles than push a button guaranteeing 10 Super Bowl wins if it meant the death of a Bears fan. His lighthearted comment has amused fans but underscores his determination to end the nearly 40-year title drought.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson just took “all in for the team” to a whole new level — and let’s just say, his latest comment has fans both laughing and cringing.
Ben Johnson’s Bold (and Hilarious) Super Bowl Promise
During a hilarious appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, Johnson was hit with a wild hypothetical: would he press a button guaranteeing 10 Super Bowl wins, even if it randomly killed a Bears fan? Johnson, clearly stunned by the out-of-pocket question, quickly shut it down — but his follow-up joke is what’s making headlines.
“I would not push the button,” Johnson said firmly. Then, with a laugh, he added, “I’ve got three kids — I’ll cut my testicles off instead.”
Yep. You heard that right.
Bears’ Super Bowl Drought Has Ben Johnson All-In
Of course, Johnson wasn’t making an actual promise to, well, make that kind of sacrifice — it was all in good fun. The over-the-top response had the hosts cracking up, and fans couldn’t help but applaud his commitment to the bit.
Johnson’s over-the-top commitment, even if purely hypothetical, has already won over a big chunk of the Bears faithful. If there was ever a way to show you’re serious about ending the nearly 40-year title dry spell, well… this was certainly one way to do it.
Bears Fans Are Eating It Up
The internet wasted no time reacting to Johnson’s jaw-dropping (and hilarious) sacrifice offer.
One fan tweeted:
“Looks like he’ll never have to do that.”
Another added:
“Bout time someone is ready to take extreme measures to win.”
Jokes Aside — Can Ben Johnson Deliver?
While Johnson’s outrageous comment stole the spotlight, his real challenge lies ahead — building a Bears team strong enough to compete for that long-awaited Super Bowl title.
He’s already proven he’s got the passion — now Chicago fans are hoping he’s got the plays to back it up.
One thing’s for sure: Ben Johnson is all in for the Bears, and if his latest remark is anything to go by, he’s not afraid to show it.
