Hey, SNL fans…

Remember the Superfans sketch after the Bears fired Ditka? The one that just has Swerski (I forget whether it was Bill or Bob) penning a letter to the Bears expressing disappointment over Ditka’s firing?

Well…in the letter, Swerski detailed a detour he would be taking into the city so that he would not pass Soldier Field. But danged if I can remember what that detour is. Anybody remember? I checked youtube, [fuzzymemories.tv](http://fuzzymemories.tv), and a site that has SNL transcripts, but no luck.

I remember that the detour involved Balbo, Cermak, and a Walgreen’s…
