Do something Lovie, do something

I know my stuff. 36 years in broadcasting. Sox Cubs Bears Bulls Hawks. You ask, I'll answer

Remember how we laughed at Mike Singletary when he dropped his drawers during a halftime speech last year. 

Pretty stupid, Samuri. What the heck were you thinking?

The 49ers trailed Seattle 20 to 3 and the former Bear and hall of famer simply wanted to make a point.

Could you see Lovie trying this stunt?

Anyhow, the 9ers lost that game.

And they lost the next one to Arizona by 5.

But then they won 5 of their last 7 to finish 7 and 9.

It could be time for Singletary to drop his drawers again. The 9ers have lost 4 in a row including a 45-10 drubbing by the Falcons.

The score sounds eerily familiar, doesn't it?   And the Bears have been struggling (there are better adjectives I could use but I'm trying to be nice about it).  So why doesn't Lovie try something rash?

Get angry Lovie. Get real angry.

How about a tirade like Singletary's?  You've been lambasted for having the personality of a piece of wheat toast so why not get out of character and shock everyone, most particularly, your players.

How about trying a Dennis Green tirade or perhaps pulling a Jim Mora

If throwing a tantrum doesn't work, how about throwing shoes at your players the way the Iraqi reporter did at then President George Bush?

Or maybe punching Tommie Harris. Someone should.

Do anything to get the attention of your players so they don't get embarrassed. Let those fans who want you on the first bus to Sandy, Texas know there is another side to you.

GET ANGRY!

Throw a fit. Throw a shoe. Throw a punch. Throw something.

How about exploding the way Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy did?  That's a classic. I can see Lovie screaming at one of the members of the media yelling, "I'm a man, I'm 51!

Better yet, do a Doug Buffone.  He went nuts on the "Score" the other day.  It was absolutely priceless.

Coach!  No one did tirades like Mike Ditka.

There you have it Loive, do a Ditka. Tell someone to get their mouth shut or comment on their IQ. You'll get instant respect. Better yet, grow a gray mustache then start waddling the way Ditka did.

Then you can eventually say, "This too shall pass."

Actually, I think most Bears fans would rather hear that, and they might one day soon.

Here's a primer Lovie on how to do tirades right.
