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.
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!
The Viking Who Stole Christmas
Thanks to Brett Favre and his inability to make retirement decisions and stick to them, th
ere will be no Christmas this year for Bears fans around the world. But look at the bright side, the four people out there who wear Wrangler jeans will be happy to see that their favorite spokesperson is still trucking along.
All things considered, Sunday’s game wasn’t that awful. The Bears defense was strong, especially in the first half. We had the Vikes beloved Adrian Peterson droppin’ the ball like it’s hot, and of course we recovered those fumbles. The problem is, we didn’t convert those turnovers into points.
Cutler and Da Bears Visit Grandpa For The Holidays
Tommorrow afternoon, Da Bears are heading up to Minnesota to pay Grandpa Favre a little holiday visit. I’m not the least bit optimistic about the outcome of this game. We’ve lost the last four games in a row, and the Vikings have won the last four.
That said, to humor my fellow Bears fans, I’ve compiled a list of creative reasons why I think we might have a chance to win tommorrow’s game.
1. We’re due for a win, and Minnesota is due for a loss. Da Bears have a strange way of beating great teams and losing to bad ones. It’s our specialty. I still can’t believe we beat the Steelers earlier this season.
