Boo the Bears!
There I said it. While I am at it, boo the Cubs too! That's right! I know if I stepped out my front door and said these things, I would receive a vicious beatdown. I may even become a victim of second degree murder. So, I generally keep my trap shut about my allegiances. After the Bears beat the Packers yesterday, though, I just can't hold back anymore. So here goes...
The Bears have absolutely no prestige in the NFL. I would venture to say that the Lions and Seahawks are more respected by the rest of the league and its players. But that is not the worst part. The worst part is that their fans are too stupid to notice. Were they distracted by the ugliest revamped stadium ever? Were they blinded from the sun reflecting off the aluminum siding on the new Soldier Field? If any pro team played like they did last year in NY, LA, Dallas, Miami, or even Minnesota, the fans would be livid. The Bears fans seem to be adjusted to loosing by the time the football season rolls around. Maybe yesterday's win is what this faltering organization needs to establish some credibility. My favor still lies with the only professional sports team to be owned by the community for which they play. Go Pack!
As far as the Cubs go, lets just say the only reason I would want them to get in, is so that that overgrown child in San Fran and his teammates don't get the opportunity. Other than that I would love to see the season end as abruptly as possible for the cubbies, so that these drunks will quit hanging out in front of my apartment.
