For working hard.
For playing harder.
For enjoying the reside of design, which is, of course: LUCK.

I’m a Charger fan, so let’s get that out of the way. We gots our own problems down Californny way to fill a book,
so I ain’t sticking a fireclaw into a Bear’s nest here with my comments.

But you know, I had already forgot that, as Windy Cynic (cute moniker, by the way) posted, that the Bears were the 1st Place Loser that year. I mean really. I freakin’ had to look it up and say that the Colts hung one on Da Barse 29-17 under Manning and overwhelming a 13-3 Chicago team that took the NFC outright.

So, I had to ask myself—did I miss that game ‘cos I sure don’t remember it? But I musta seen it because I do remember Peyton winning his first ring and MVP of that game and then I scrolled down and suddenly it all clicked back into solid recall—–Rex Grossman.

Oh, yeah. Dat guy. Da guy with the doting penchant for throwing the ball to da other guys wearing a different uniform all day long. Da Chipmunk. Da scourge of Cheekago, yeah, DAT guy!

Listen, my friends in Windyville—-anytime your team goes to the Super Bowl it’s a good thing. Even if you’re the 1st place loser. So was it a curse? Yeah, sure. But only if bräts and beer and big boobies are a curse, too.

And they’re not.

So, quit whining in the rearview mirror, put a few on the grill, pull a couple of frosty keg handles, call the fun gals and settle in for . . . a long drought. You’re still gonna watch. After all, it’s NFL! Just don’t whine so much when you come up 4th or 5th place losers.

Your time will come again.
And hopefully in your lifetime.

Meanwhile, be of good cheer and let the bra-straps fly, baby. We’re a week away from the 2010 season and there’;; be plenty of company to share in your misery.

Take my team for example.
You don’t see me weeping and whining.

Just because we fired the one coach who stood on the precipice of Super Bowl glory and cut some fine players who stood there with him and coddled our share of underachieving whiners as they tantrummed on the sideline and and and . . . . dammit. There I go again.

Take my advice; apparently, I’m not using it.

On similar note if you guys haven’t seen it yet you should check this article out: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0913/nfl-values-10-bears-chicago-football-money-midgets-midway.html It focuses more on the financial side of things but definitely provides more ammo that Da Bears are an abhorrently mismanaged franchise.
