Tied for it, apparently. Nathan Vasher, also a Bear, and also returning a missed field goal, had a 108-yard return last year.

Officially it is a tie, but only because records don’t record the fractional yards. The actual distance he ran was 108.7 yds (IIRC) which is farther than Vasher.

That’s OK. I’m sitting in Chicago and only finding disgust. The Bears seem to have a unique way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Fuck you guys. I trade Detroit Lions and entire organization for Bears. But you have to swap owners too.

Not back to hairy gay beastiality jokes.

The only thing worse would be sadistic necrophiliac bestiality jokes, but that would be beating a dead horse.
Say he instead decided to take a knee in the end zone. Where do you then spot the ball? On the 20? Or at the spot of the kick, which would have been the 42 yard line? I know that if he DOESN"T field the missed kick, it goes out to the 42, but does it change if he DOES field the kick, and then takes a knee?
As disheartened as I am about the loss, I’m more disgusted with the entire conference. These are the two best teams in the NFC? Christ, bet the ranch on the AFC winning the Superbowl again.

The “Oh, I thought that this thread was about…” joke is old and not especially funny. Adding a smug dose of “I’m above it all” doesn’t make it newer or funnier.

So what? People who actually take a serious interest in sports deserve all the shit we (or a bear) can dump on them.

I do not say this often, I do not think I have said this here on Dope before.
But Fuck You and your false sense of intellectual superiority, you fucking dumb ass jerk.
What the hell is your problem? You do not like sports so you feel you have a right to dump on all of us that do?

Oh, don’t even bother. Anyone who comes into a thread where they have no interest in the topic, just to condescend to those who do, don’t even deserve a response.
I’ve already started doing the Superbowl Shuffle. I invite all you out-of-towners to join me. We may suck in glory, but this city has more fun with football than anyone else. You don’t even have to like the game to catch the fever! Da Bearss!

That’s what folks were saying about the AL-NL disparity before the World Series. Moral of the story: don’t bet your ranch on anything, especially NFL football where talent level between teams really isn’t as exaggerated as it used to be. As a Chicagoan, I think the Colts look better overall (I mean, they barely beat Tennessee and Buffalo), but anyone could when that game, depending on which Bears team decides to take the field and how many turnovers they decide to give up.
So, you can bet your ranch if you want. I wouldn’t be nearly so confident.

Crap. There was supposed to be another clause before the parenthetical, so it would makes sense. Read:
As a Chicagoan, I think the Colts look better overall, but everyone’s vulnerable (I mean, they barely beat Tennessee and Buffalo), and either team could win a Bears (or whatever NFC team)-Colts matchup, depending…
