Super BowlThis year's Superbowl match-up is sure to be one for the ages, and one Bears fan from Champaign is doing his part to inspire the team. Champaign businessman John Wright gave Chicago Bears Defensive Back, Charles Tillman a book at the start of the season to help him get motivated. The book, titled 212 Degrees, did just that. Tillman passed the principals he learned from the book on to the coaching staff and now the team is singing the book's praises. 212 Degrees is about extra effort, and Tillman says that's been their drive this season. The Defensive Back says he owes Wright a big thank you for the motivation he's given.
