Also, most blog writers are a little idiotic, i will grant Dan and Nick that, but the only IDIOTS i ever see writing on blogs are readers who write comments that the blog writer is an idiot. blogs are not supposed to be sophisticated journalism, but judging from the way Danny’s grasp on the English language.

I happen to personally know that all of the blog writers on BGO are gainfully employed and hold advanced graduate degrees…this blog is written in the spare time that can be carved out of our lives, now….go get one if you don’t like it!!!

I know I’m grasping at straws; I’m just trying to convince myself that they won’t.

2)They only bother to send e-mails to people who will be getting a bill from them.

3) Don’t forget that they didn’t raise ticket prices last season (http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bears-fire-lovie-smith/2009/12/reason-to-fire-lovie—ticket-prices.html). With a work stoppage looming next season, do you really think they’d go three years without bumping their take at the gate? I hope I’m wrong, but my experience tells me to watch your wallet.

1) If I start plugging for Marconi, do I get some of the good stuff?

2) I’m on the season ticket holder list, and I haven’t gotten any sort of correspondance from the team. Maybe they just sent it to the season ticket holders.

3) An increase in ticket prices would not be advised. Plus, as the link that I gave DeCon shows, they really don’t need to raise ticket prices. As I recall, they didn’t raise the prices after last season. The outcry for Lovie to be gone wasn’t as loud, but still. I think that would be organizational suicide unless they turn things around quickly.

To clarify, Marconi Foods is a season ticket holder and long time ‘friend of the program’ who forwarded the e-mail to me. I did include a shameless plug via a link b/c I thought non-season ticket holders (myself included)would be interested to see what the Bears are up to and b/c they keep my cupboard filled with Chicago’s best and hottest Giardiniera. (Another shameless plug!)

I’ll tell you what this big PR campaign means – there will be a ticket price increase this offseason and the Bears brass is trying to get people on their side now before they send them a bill next month.

Think about what Bears management has done this offseason. They’ve taken out two full-page ads in the Sun-Times and the Trib, held an hour-long presser (in which all parties speaking spoke WAY too long), and now they’re sending out letters to sponsors. Maybe that email is sent to season-ticket holders, like you said, but if Boomer got it from Marconi, it would seem that they sent it to sponsors.

It’s a huge PR campaign, one that hasn’t happened in past seasons. That is newsworthy. It’s interesting to me just because they’re going way overboard to try to soothe fan’s emotions.

The main thing for me is: What does all of this all mean? What do they have planned? Something is amiss, and I can’t figure out what.
