Russ Loede - Site Editor

Developing a love for football early on, Russ Loede brings his knowledge and insight of the game as well as his passion for the Chicago Bears to NFLGridironGab.com and Bearsgab.com. Born and raised in a family of Browns fans just outside Cleveland, Russ embraced the Bears from his youth, and since then has cheered on the Windy City Soldiers from their down years all the way to their Super Bowl run in ‘06.

When not studying up on the gridiron, Russ attends the Ohio Center for Broadcasting, along with serving his country in the Army Reserves.
