Where do the Bears Rank among the Super Bowl Teams of the 2000’s? Bear Dawn (12/17)
By Gavin Tugana
To be fair to the author of this piece, Dan Parzych, I have no idea if he’s a media newbie. But if you want to lower your IQ reading ridiculously stupid articles, I have a treat for you.
Young Danimal decided to rank the 20 teams that made the Super Bowl within this decade. Naturally, I was curious to see how low the Bears ranked. Unfortunately, Danimal ranked the 2006 Bears as #11. Fair enough. However, he also ranked the 2006 Colts as #13.
WHAT?! We got waxed in that game! But we were better than the Colts? Oh, ok.
Now, I do have a bit of empathy for Young Danimal. I’ve done a lot of draft-type Big Boards and Mock Drafts, and I’ve gotten ripped for my rankings before; that’s been ok with me, because my ego isn’t tied into being Mr. NFL Draft. But, I know his pain. However, I’ve also never made such a hideous mistake in my rankings like that, so I’ll still join the masses and laugh.

Ed Reed is still out of practice.
Mike Martz thinks the Bears problems are with personnel and not coaching, which explains why the man still doesn’t have a job.
