Next year, right? I feel like a Cubs fan for saying that (no, I’m not one), but we’ll have to wait and hope for the best.
All said and done, I’m proud of the 06-07 Bears. What a fun season to watch. Good football.
But I do have a wish list for coach Lovie:
1. Healthy Tommie Harris - the guy fills a hole and nobody runs on the Bears with him on the line. 2. Healthy Mike Brown - the best player in our secondary was out most of the year. 3. Fire Ron Turner - 3rd and 1 = pass? Air it out in those high-wind, rainy conditions? Did he not see Jones burying the Colts D? If anyone is interested, fireronturner.com is available. 4. Lock in Lance Briggs - and other free agents. Good team. Need to keep it.
We’re having a house full of guests. I’ve imported some Old Style (thanks, Mike), our friend Matt is bringing authentic Chicago beefs, duelling TVs in the living room, baggo on the front lawn. Should be great.
Chicago is all decked out, helmets on the Art Institute lions, people in jerseys everywhere and the traditional skyline buildings all lit up.
Let’s go Bears!
Oh yeah, a fun fact to keep in mind: 4 times the No. 1 D (Bears) has gone againt the No. 1 O (Lions) in the Super Bowl. The record, D has won 4-0.
More than the SOX World Series victory in 2005. More than our softball championships (sorry Sluggers) and my big game hockey wins…more than anything, I so badly want the Bears to win the Super Bowl.
But the win will be bittersweet. In 2003 I made a deal with Aaron Bell that if the Bears went, we’d shave Auden (our all-orange boy cat) so all that was left is a big “C” on his side. I’m not looking forward to that, he’s a mean S.O.B.
Here, watch this. A friend sent it to me. Man am I getting excited.
