I have to wake up today and be a human being. Same for tomorrow. It isn't possible, I know, but I don't have a choice. At the end of this week they're going to play the Super Bowl. This time, THEY includes the Chicago Bears. Gabe Reid and the 2006 Chicago Bears.
I've changed a lot in my life and experienced quite a bit in a short amount of time. I've learned things don't always go your way. Sometimes parents don't stay married. Sometimes girlfriends don't stay faithful. Sometimes dream jobs can't find funding. Sometimes a harmless Tuesday morning in September can change your neighborhood and life forever.
But to paraphrase James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams, "The one constant through all the years has been...the Chicago Bears." No matter what was happening in my life, the Bears were going to play football and I was going to watch them do it. They have marked the time like road signs along the New Jersey Turnpike. The jerseys I've worn don't just say 45, 9, 87, 97, 54. They remind me of where I've been and what I used to be.
For three hours a week, these Bears have been my life. All the losses. All the heartbreak. All the Wannstedt. All of it can be erased like my police record when I turned 18. On Sunday, they're going to play the Super Bowl. This time, THEY includes the Chicago Bears.

#2 Somedevil said . . .That's funny that I got quoted in the article. I will print this out and put it on my fridge.
I am just a little disappointed they chose that quote and not one of the ones where we verbally dominated Pack Is Back.

This just might be my one and only support system that will help me make it to sunday.

#4 Nicole living in hell (blue city) cannot wait to come home to Orange said . . .My FAVORITE blog, by FAR!!
Thanks to all you fellow Bear fanatics, for keeping my blood blue-and-orange while waiting for another game... and the next one is THE game.. that I have been waiting for since January of 1986 (when, BTW, the electricity went off in our subdivision just after the opening kickoff... you could hear the screams of outrage emanating from every house -- but that's another story).Thanks to Jeff and Noah for putting this most accomodating site together, and letting us speak freely (even PIB, although his is more of a squeal).

I do like this blog site more than any other. Not just 'cuz we talk about the Bears, but also because it is truely fan driven. Thanks Jeff and Noah!
Yet another Sheeesh to the fact that Jeff was only 2 when he saw the Super Bowl Shuffle for the first time...
Let me put my teeth back in.. sonny, hand me my shawl.. you young whippersnapper!

#14 Pissed off said . . .Talk about longest week- I LIVE IN INDY AND AM A BEARS FAN! Ugh, this city is covered in blue. I've lost friends because they do not understand why I'm not a "C" fan and live in this city. I lived near Chicago for 20+ years and I've lived here for 2. I don't see what's so hard to understand.

#15 jeff said . . .Drinking in the middle of the day kicks ass. I wish I could do it but I have a day job, maybe I'll drink during lunch.
I didnt realize that you were that young either Jeff. I'm 25 and you must be only 22ish. Damn, great job on being the entreprenuer you are with this great site. My job requires me to act 110% professional and when your working with 50+ old (age 50+ that is) clients sometimes all they see is a kid so kudos to you on being very professional on here when sometimes I'm not.

Cuck the Folts! I say!
I have proudly worn my #54 jersey to work along with my trucker Bears cap and don't have one single problem sending patients off to surgery knowing that if they root for the Colts, I may withhold pain medication afterwards!
Well, I wouldn't really. Although, if there was a chance I was taking care of a of nere-do-well that we all know and don't really speak of or to, I'd make him suffer, just a little bit. What an ultra-maroon..
Jeff, I was there, I bought you those beers and uhhh the wings too yeah, you didn't DRINK any of those beers.. no, not you... *cough*January 29, 2007
#22 jeff said . . .kudos on the recognition. one of the things i appreciate most about this blog is that i can identify: i grew up not far from you (in Jersey City) and i live in New York. it's always nice to know that there are others of us here.

Now I know the Bears' success depends on much more than just Rex Grossman's decision-making, but I thought this would be a fun way to track his performance against the Colts.

#33 marc paez said . . .Hey Nicole, nice crispy treats by the way, I will probably change my name to "no respect guy" or "not so pissed off" becuase we all know if the Bears win.....the media will spin it as the Colts or Peyton losing it.....not the Bears winning so I may still be bitter.
#28, hey Dan Grossman, did you know your full of shit cuz you really were a Colts fan most of your life. If your going to pretend to be someone get your facts right at least.
Henry, the Colts are inferior, we just beat a team with a better offense than the Colts 39-14. Also our defense and special teams are much better than yours. You have no hope my "delusional" friend.

I was 5 for the last Bears Superbowl. I remember watching it with my brother, then 6, sitting on the couch in our jerseys and helmets. Too bad we can't relive that moment exactly as we first lived it. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what we wear, where we're sitting, how loud we cheer- the Bears will win. One more game. Believe.

Perfect time for a love-in.
Wait, wait... [gets a hold of himself]. What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Jeff? Didn't you notice the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? Henry, you and the national media are ruining my beer. FUCK THE COLTS!!!
January 30, 2007
#46 District Selectman said . . .First time to your blog. It's great! I grew up near Chicago but live near Houston TX now. I have always rooted for the Bears and will be watching them Sunday with my "die-hard Cowboys fan" boyfriend on Sunday. He says he wants the Bears to win, but I think he's lying. He keeps bringing up the fact that the '85 Bears would've lost to the 90's Cowboys team. Yeah. Okay. Whateva. In any case, I do know you can add him to the list of people who think the Colts will win. I can't wait to see his face after the Bears win by 40. ;-)

January 30, 2007
#51 Heidi said . . .As I mentioned, my bf is a die-hard Cowboys fan. I take a perverse pleasure in the fact that a little corner of Cowboy Country is rooting for the Bears. Big Sandy, Texas, Lovie's hometown, looks more like a small town near Chicago instead of a town just east of Dallas. Bears signs everywhere and all anyone is talking about are the Bears. A friend of ours who lives near there says everyone has gone completely crazy over the Bears. It's cool but funny. I wonder who Big Sandy would've rooted for had it been the Bears and Dallas for the NFC championship (what I was hoping for, but alas).

#54 Dave said . . .Nicole, I can feel your pain. I lived in Indiana when I was in college. If fans of the "my little ponies" start giving you crap and talking about how they are die hards and life long fans simply ask them who their QB was before Manning then watch with glee as they stammer for an anwer. They of course won't know ( it was Jim Harbaugh) because they are all riding Manning.
As for this blog, well I cannot say anything that hasn't been said before. I was the same age as Jeff the last time the Bears were in the big game (Jim McMahon was my first crush) and reading this entry about sums up my life since then...and I still have a thing for qb's.
BEAR DOWNJanuary 30, 2007
#55 Chad said . . .Hey morons the Colts beat a team far superior to the Saints. Besides who gives a rats ass who's favored. The fucking game still has to be played
Point spread never won shit. So quit crying about being snubbed in the press.
Jeff, I also find it kind of interesting that you being a supposed lifelong Bear fan and you started this blog two years ago that you just now started to post this year.
Why is that? Is it because you really are one of those people who jumps on the bandwagon when they started winning?
Or, is because you couldn't find a collection of drunks and queers any other place then in Chicago?
I find it very fucking gay that you would become a fan of the Bears just because you remember some fucked up shuffle.
If that true, you are a true punk
January 30, 2007
#56 jonathan said . . .Hmmm.....
Let's get this straight....
Colts were a better team.
Hmmm total offense:
New Orleans 1st
Indy 3rdTotal defense:
New Orleans 11
Indy 21stIndy also had the worst run defense in the history of football.
Care to explain?

#57 Bears Suck said . . .Dave -- I didn't read your post. I never read your posts. Just saw your name and a huge post. I'm guessing 99% of the folks here don't bother to read what you write. Thanks for wasting your time writing such a huge post. Keep it up man, great work.
January 30, 2007
#58 Nicole living in hell (blue city) cannot wait to come home to Orange said . . .I'll explain to you Chad. The Saints play in the NFC. The NFC is obviously inferior to the AFC. (Hence the domination of the AFC.) Any average team could put up great numbers against bad teams. The colts actually had some competition this year. That explains the rankings.
January 30, 2007
#59 District Selectman said . . .Props to #43 Mitch for mentioning my bears crispies
Props to #44 District Selectmen for showing that real men can shed tears over such beautiful things as this blog.
Props to #53 Alley (Indiana girls)What will today's blog be? I'm eager with anticipation and hoping that the Colts fans will stay away today because many of us are hungover, grouchy and not in the mood to deal with them.
January 30, 2007
#60 Nicole living in hell (blue city) cannot wait to come home to Orange said . . .Well, well, well, this is starting to be a lot less of a sausage fest than we're used to. Heidi, that is great about Big Sandy. I am feeling the love across Bears Nation!

You were actually pretty close with the score, just not quite which team was on top.
January 30, 2007
#63 Midway Monster said . . .Davie - That actually didnt do it justice...lets just see how wrong you were about everything....
#28 Dave said . . .
Jeff, P.O.ed, jdawg, MidwayMonster, you all suck, You are so full of crap.Not only will the "Big Bad Bears" lose, they're going to get killed.
Look at it from a pure football stand point. You have a inconsistent QB. Your defense is really looking weak up the middle, and Lovie will panic when they fall behind and put Rex in position where he needs to win the game, and that's were you will lose.
N.O. is going to have a big running day against your worn out defense. Turdwhacker was getting pushed all over the field in the Seattle game and believe that will carryover to this game making the middle the place to go.
Alexander ran pretty easy up the gut, and Seattle doesn't have as good a line as N.O..
Mark my words, Duece and Bush will have a big game.
I still say 41-10 Saints
January 20, 2007
Ouch Davie.

#64 Nicole living in hell (blue city) cannot wait to come home to Orange said . . .Jeff, you went to St. P in Jersey City. So, you must be tough. I went to NJIT in down town Newark.

Anyone notice how defensive the Colts fans are starting to get? I think they're starting to look at some stats and hence are getting worried. And they should be cuz the Bears are going to win no matter how superior you think the AFC is. Wont it be nice to have the trophy back in the NFC where they play tough-guy football.

People shouldn't bother to post if they have nothing constructive or intelligent to say, wouldn't you agree?
It was interesting to hear about Mike Singletary interviewing for the job in Dallas. I have to admit, that it made me nervous the second I heard about Parcell leaving Dallas. I thought of Lovie right away, his low salary, his contract being up.
I think Singletary would have a tough time dealing with Jerry Jones (did I get his name right?) He seems like such a in your face hands on do it my way or the highway kind of owner. Parcell could handle that probably better then most, I don't know about a brand new head coach. What do you guys think?Nicole, Have a great time, enjoy the ride! There's a great Starbucks just as you pass the by-pass off of I-65 along with a Shell station.

January 30, 2007
#75 Nicole living in hell (blue city) cannot wait to come home to Orange said . . .Yeah, I know about the Rooney rule, however that did change the Steelers minds.
BUT, what would a brand new head coaches chances be working for a man like JJ in the big D?
January 30, 2007
#76 Midway Monster said . . .Meg: Lovie will get a well deserved pay raise come Monday morning he's going to be able to do the breaststroke in his money piles when the Bears pay him to stay put.
My car is on auto-pilot for the I-65 N commute to Chi-town. I cannot wait to see all the buildings with their lights on to pump up the city.
And in true Bears celebration, I'm taking Monday off to party in the city. Now I just need to find my Mr. Perfect to keep up with my Bear flare... :)January 30, 2007

#78 Colt said . . .Question for you Indiana folks: do they still put up those lame-ass serial jokes on "Barbasol signs" in construction zones? That made me want to dynamite the whole goddamn state.
January 30, 2007
#79 Pissed off said . . .Don't know why you're SOOOOO Proud of that win over NO. They wouldn't have even made the playoffs if they were in the AFC. Their record against AFC teams this year was 1-3. They beat Cleveland,(applause) that's it.
During the course of the entire year they only beat two teams that finished above .500.
All of their great offensive stats were accumulated at the expense of weak NFC teams.
da bears have not really been tested yet.
The Colts, on the other hand, are the most battle-tested team in the league, bar none.
January 30, 2007
#80 Megan said . . .I also heard Norv Turner has it locked up but they did a bit on Sportscenter last night involving Singletary. I dont think Singletary would be a good coach, not yet anyway, I dont think he's even been a coordinator yet, isnt he just a linebackers coach? Thats a big jump and I think he would fail.....he might eventually be a good coach but JJ isnt about to give Singletary 5 years to get to the SB, he wants to win now.
Nicole made me think that I too would love to celebrate Monday in Chicago but of course that cant happen being a few states away, (and having to work since the dumb bitch that is in this office with me already has that week off, Just to spite me I think cuz she knew the Bears were in the SB). And in true bearblog fashion I too say FUCK THE COLTS!
January 30, 2007
#81 Megan said . . .DS! I couldn't agree more! I used to drive back and forth from Chicago to Cincinnati all the time and that drove me NUTS! The kids loved it but I could only take so much!
I wanted to blow up Indianapolis because...
One fourth of July, we had to drive through Indy, they were shooting off fire-works from the top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. There were all these cars TAILGAITING ON HWY I-65! I almost ran several people's BBQ's not to mention actual PEOPLE over! Trucks were veering out of the way of people, on this MAJOR interstate. I couldn't find a cop/hwy patrolman to save my life.
It scared the CRAP our of me!No Midway, my dear friend.. I just love that quote, not to say for you to eat anything other then the finest Filet Mignon that that said bull has to offer!!! you do have a certain sav-wha fair (sorry, spelling challanged), it's a kinda turn on actually... *sigh*

#83 Pissed off said . . .CHICAGO (AP)-- Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Lovie Smith immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again...
January 30, 2007
#84 District Selectman said . . .AHHH.....Feels good to shed the so called "tenderness" as the district dubbed it.
To Colt, Its not the Bears fault they havent been tested and that they play in the NFC. I'm glad you think your team is battle tested too, Peyton Mannings numbers in the playoffs make Rexy look like Joe Montana.

They aren't trying to hide anything. Marvin and Reggie are just low key guys who don't enjoy a lot of media attention. (Marvin is more shy than Reggie.) As for Peyton, he is focusing on the SB. He is picking apart the Bears defense as we speak.

You are right. They did score the same amount of points, but were they scored against good defenses? And lets not forget that was a joke.

#90 Pissed off said . . .Do you remember the Cardinal game? I'll recap it for you. Down by a point at the end, Matt Leinart, in his second varsity start, drives the Cardinals from their own 38 to the Bear 23, using three and four wides. The Bears can't get to him. They don't know whether to (bleep) or wind their watch? They try pressure, no pressure, coverages, nickel packages, dime, you name it. Damn, the Cards are going to pull it off. On second and two on the Chicago 23, Dennis Green calls it off. He orders two tight ends and two running backs. Edgerrin James has been popping off about not being allowed to finish a game, and this has upset the coach. So with everyone crammed into the VW, James finishes the game by gaining a yard, the Cardinals miss the field goal, and Green throws his tantrum ... then fires his offensive coordinator, who wanted to keep throwing. Oh yes, Peyton will study this game.

The Bears are busy studying your great game against the Jags. how many yards did they run for? 10,000? I don't remember, but it was a big number.

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
