The Chicago Bears. THE CHICAGO FOOTBALL BEARS are five and one.
Let’s say it again, together this time:
THE CHICAGO BEARS ARE FIVE AND ONE
Yesterday we were down.
Yesterday we were injured
Yesterday we thought we were out.
BUT NO! The Chicago Bears organized a comeback that will become the stuff of legend. One of the most exciting games in the NFL this season, you HAVE to admit.
I nearly set myself on fire with a bizarre candle/cigarette accident as I screamed and cheered for my boys.
The Bears are for real. I won’t hear any different.
J, we all thought of you while watching this game. Joseph was really throwing around the “yer moms”, anticipating a loss. His Vikings had almost made him cry. I was wishing near the end that we had found you at the bar - I’m sure it was insane.
Of course, dealing with the post-game traffic on my way home sucked…
Thanks for the clarification. I thought you might have been talking about the Chicago BASKETBALL Bears or the Chicago LACROSSE Bears.
I was glad to see Chicago win. I don’t think the 49ers need to return to dominance QUITE yet. Their long-spoiled fans need to suffer a little bit longer.
C’mon, like the Cowboys/Skins Monday night game a few weeks ago wasn’t the stuff of legend?
As to the OP, I say HELL YEAH! It’s been a hell of a long time since I was actually HAPPY halfway through a football season! And between two of my favorite guys (Mike Brown and Mister Urlacher… after yesterday, I think he definitely deserves to be called ‘Mister’) both grabbing picks, and A-Train and Terrell having fantastic days, I’m just about in football Nirvana.
It was such a great game, that when I got home, I had already received a call from Brian Urlacher asking me if I wanted to join him at Gibsons for steak and cocktails!
So we went out and had dinner, and then afterwards, we went to a few bars, where I had to answer to a lot of girls who were interested in brian. He just put his arm around me and told everyone I was his mistress, and the only girl for him.
Then we got a hotel room at the Hilton and Towers. He bought me this great deep purple teddy that I wore for him and after a few hours in the hot tub we made sweet love until the sun came up.
Somehow, someway, even if I have to show up with cash in hand at Soldier Field on gameday, I will be at the Green Bay game in two weeks. Bears are an event again. Yippee!
Last year I went to the Northwestern-Michigan game that helped get A-Train his false rep as a butterfingers. Best game I’ve ever seen, now even sweeter because it helped bestow him on us.
Now can we get Madden on color commentary for the Bears games?
Okay, I live in Portland, Oregon, and we don’t have a proffesional football team. Our team is, by default, Seattle. Now I was jazzed a few years ago when they got Mike Holmgren, and it looked like they might go somewhere. The last two years they ended the first half of the season 6-2…then went on to finish 8-8. And it doesn’t look any better this year. They still suck.
I lived in the Bay Area some years ago, so there is some tentative connection to the 49ers or the Raiders. I can’t stand the 49ers. I like the Raiders, but I just can’t really feel any emotional connection.
I was raised in the Washington, DC area, so my “ancestral” team is the Redskins. But of course, they suck even worse than the Seahawks. Plus it’s been 11 years since I left the area.
So here’s what I think: I’ve been hanging out on the SDMB quite a lot lo these past 3 months, and I really like it here. It’s like my home in cyberspace. And the SDMB is owned by the Chicago Reader. See where I’m going with this?..
Y’know, Shibb, I’d rage about the Bears and the Bucs and the smarmy self-righteous fools who think the Vikings won’t make it to the playoffs… but I just got back from the company quarterly meeting. There was an open bar. I’m very content right about now. Maybe after I wake up tomorrow I’ll be upset again.
[sub]Yeah, I’m back at work anyway. So I suck. Sue me.[/sub]
I’m glad the Bears are off to a good start. It’ll be that much better when they fall on their faces and you realize that you are all a bunch of losers stuck in a miserable part of the country, left to watch more entertaining sports franchises play meaningful games during the holidays and beyond.
What a crappy existence it must be. Baseball, Football and Hockey - three huge things in the Chicago area - are all big fat busts that won’t help the midwest losers feel any better about their miserable lives. I guess for basketball, you can replay some Bulls championships.
The whole Chicago area is a plethora of big fat sports losers who wished they lived on one of the coasts. Maybe your fat asses are safer inland. And don’t give me any crap about Lake Michigan… It ain’t no ocean you midwestern overstuffed sports loser couch potatoes.
Da Bears are Da Fraud. Wait until it gets chilly and all your rookies quit on you faster than a fat Chicagoan can scarf down a can of “pop”.
yes it is my dear. And I’ll be at Soldier Field, after winning the tailgating Chili Cookoff, wearing a dress made out of Schlitz cans and condoms and a necklace of vicadin.
You guessed it. I’m Brett Favre’s dream date.
He looked extra great against the world’s crappiest Vikings!
