Gaines and Losses
Sad news! We have lost someone dear to us.
Chicago Bears Defensive End, Gaines Adams passed away on Sunday, January 17, 2010. Adams was only 26 years old, and his career was just beginning to take off. Prior to playing for the Bears, Adams had played at Tampa Bay. He spent his college years at Clemsen University, where he was an All-American defensive player.
As a newly minted “Bear”, Adams only had a chance to play for Chicago in a few games before his untimely death. But once a Bear, always a Bear.
Oh, The Season Doesn’t Matter Anymore? Okay, Now We Can Play Well
I’ve been MIA for awhile during the holidays, but fear not, I have returned. And so, apparently, have my beloved Bears. I don’t know what I’m more excited about: the fact that we won two games in a row, the fact that the Vikings lost, or the fact that we actually looked like a good team during our last two (meaningless) games of the season.
During the past two games, I found myself transfixed on the television screen, my thoughts drifting around a common theme: What is happening, and why is it happening now? The Bears went from hideously bad to gloriously good in the time span of about a week.
2010: The Year of the Chick
While everyone else is signing their lives away to a gym they’ll only go to the first week of January, the Chicks are getting some other things in order in 2010.
Nola Chick’s Resolution: This year, I will make a valiant effort not to shout “eat their young” as a motivational tool for the Saints defense to get aggressive with their opponents. At least, I’ll try to stop doing it when little kids are standing next to me in the stands.
Mother Hen’s Resolution: I won’t caustically attack the Chicago Bears for no reason, even though there always seems to be a reason….
That’s It. The Bears Are On The Naughty List.
It was a blessing in disguise that I spent last week in Philidelphia, where the local networks opted to air the mildly interesting Eagles/49ers game instead of the pathetic and boring Bears/Ravens game. I can’t imagine why the East Coast isn’t interested in watching the glorious football organization known as the Chicago Bears. Oh wait, yes I can. We are embarassingly awful. That’s why!
All I Want For Christmas Is A New Head Coach
The Chicago Bears’ Lovie Smith is none of the above. Yesterday’s game against the Green Bay Packers was an absolute embarassment to our establishment. Our quarterback and recievers have talent–but the coaching staff don’t know what to do with it.
