• We have had to put up with a hell of a lot of bad football over the years to finally be rewarded with a team in the Super Bowl! Even though I don't think the Bears are going to win 2 weeks from tonight in Miami, I still can not be any more excited. We have seen a lot of bad players in Chicago to get to this point. Here are some names that only the die hards will remember.There was Peter Tom Willis. Wendell Davis and Ron Morris. Rashan Salam. Rick Mirer. Curtis Enis. Alonzo Spellman. Carlos Huerta. Cade McNown. See, this is why it is much more gratifying for me and people like Keith, Heather, and John and Mark. Ok, and maybe even Scooty. We put in lots of time and never gave up hope. We never left the Bears wagon. I'm proud to say that I have been there through it all, lots of endless Sundays watching the Bears and it has finally paid off. Sure, I was around when they won in on Jan 26, 1986 and I remember it too. But, I was only 10, so I really didn't have a full appreciation for what they had accomplished. But now, this is different. Throughout this season, I have seen more and more people paying attention to the Bears and wearing more Bears stuff. Most of them are probably bandwagon jumpers. I just can never see how this can mean nearly as much to them as it does to us. To them, this is something that comes and goes. Once its all over and the Bears are bad again in a few years, as happens to all teams, those people won't be around. But us, we will always be there, very loyal and always supporting our team. On Sundays, our church is the Bears game, win or lose. And although I'm thrilled for the Bears, the fans and myself and all my friends, by far the biggest Bears fan I know is Keith and most of all, I'm glad for him that they have made it this far. I hope that will reward all of us with a great and complete effort, if not a Super Bowl win.

  I'm happy for Rex Grossman, he put up with a lot of abuse from those shit ass Bears fans (don't you like how I praise the fans in the previous paragraph and then rip them now?). Sure, they were cheering the hell out of him at the end of today's game, but where were they when he needed them most, when he was down and out. They booed the hell out of him in the pre season for shit's sake. When things when bad during the season, the booed him and called into talk radio and wrote into papers saying how awful he was and how he needed to be replaced. Sure, he was awful in some games. But, that doesn't mean losers like Jay Mariotti of the Sun-Times need to dedicate article after article as to how bad he is and how he can't be trusted. It was ri-damn-diculous. But, kudos to not only his teammates for never giving up on him, but also to Bears coach Lovie Smith. I think it would be awesome for the Bears to win the whole damn thing just so that Rex can shove it down those fuckers that have been bagging on him since August.
