I suppose this doesn’t really belond under GD, since after this Sunday’s game against the Browns, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. Two touchdowns with less than 30 seconds on the clock and two overtime wins in as many games AND a 6-1 record makes it pretty obvious.
Now that he’s apparently abandoned the “Damn Yankees”, it looks like The Dark One has moved on to greater challenges.
Oh, absolutely. How else to explain the new Soldier Field design? Anybody wanna see an artist’s conception of Hell?
It has been not unfairly compared to (a) a toilet bowl, (b) a UFO, (c) both.
I believe at different times the same has been said about the Eifel Tower and the statue of liberty. Is the architect by any chance French?
The bears do not need Satan. We are the Lord’s Chosen Team…destined for greatness under the stone face tutelage of Dick Jauron.
You cannot smite us. We will not be smote.
NO COMEUPPANCE…you hear me? NO COMEUPPANCE!

Nah. The NFL sold its soul to the gods of parity. That means a team like the Bears, with relatively young and underrated players, will have a chance to shine. Good for them.
Go Bears!
At the risk of hijacking, my buddy and I ran past SF last Fri, and discussed the proposed redesign. Our conclusion was - who cares?! Exactly what do the existing columns mean to you, other than a stadium with a huge percentage of crappy seats? And if you look immediately E of the stadium (parking lots), and W (train tracks), I don’t see what awesome views are being spoiled. It’s not like it is in the middle of Grant Park or anything.
Now if you want to get the Bears the hell off the lakefront, that’s fine by me. Put them somewhere with better expressway and public transportation access, and open SF up for festivals like Taste of Chicago or celebrations of future Bulls championships. 
Then you could landscape lots of the parking areas.
But, IMO, the stretch of lakefront between the Field Museum and McCormick Place ain’t so hot as it is, that this redesign would exactly spoil it.
So was that a Hail Satan pass?
Quite the contrary. I don’t know whether it was God or Satan, but some unworldly power was behind the Yankees throughout the World Series. I mean, they had no business making it to game seven against a team like the Diamondbacks. The only possible explanation is divine—or infernal—intervention.
Baseball season is over, so God or Satan or whoever can move on; there’s nothing more to do for the Yankees this year. Maybe we can see the Bears in the Super Bowl, and possibly next year the Cubs can win the World Series. Apparently, Chicago’s a great market for souls these days.
:rolleyes:
This is getting silly, don’t we think?
I mean, I never expected the Bears to win even five games this year, but apparently they have some young talent. No, they haven’t played Green Bay or the Rams or the Saints yet…but can we even admit for a second that yes, the Bears are a pretty good team?
I mean Christ, look at Detroit or Minnesota or Washington if you want to bash people.

Is this the correct place to ask which Chicago team will have more wins this season - the Bears or the Bulls?
[Moderator Hat ON]
Yup. Moving to IMHO.
[Moderator Hat OFF]
But where’s the fun in that?
Detroit is too far gone to receive anything more than my pity this year (until my beloved Packers show up in the Silverdome this Thanksgiving and get blown out in one of their typical Turkey day disasters, and don’t try to tell me it won’t happen). Ditto to Washington. Plus they aren’t in the NFC Central.
The Vikings have been my object of loathing for years now (one piece of advice out there for young Packer fans: do not attent college at UW-Eau Claire, where half the student body is from Minnesota and the network affiliates are out if the twin cities), and I am growing weary.
The Bucs are gone from the division next year.
Sooo…that leaves the Bears.
It has been many, many years since I have felt the bitter bile of hatred I felt for the boys from Chicago, and I think that I have missed it. I hope they are for real this time, cuz I needs me a new enemy on Sunday.
Feel free to bash the Redskins. You never know, they may bash back.
Wanna put a bet on who gets a W in their Christmas stocking on December 23? 
I don’t know about the Bears pact with Satan, but Mike Brown has to have a pact with Satan!!
Two game winning interceptions for touchdowns in overtime in consecutive weeks??? It’s practically the plot line for “Damn Yankees”.
If Mike Brown never plays another game, he will be remembered by Bears fans for the rest of their lives. That’s amazing.
I can see SF out my window. Looking at it right now, between the CBOT and the Hilton, right over the MCC. If the planned spaceship lands, I won’t be able to see the planes lake off and land at Meigs. Course if Mayor-for-Life Ritchie has his way…
