No Bears Despair this year as Chicago still proudly flies the W

Football. Chicago Bears football. Deplorable. We are approaching week 12 – three quarters of the way into the 2016 Season and again our team, the once “Monsters of the Midway” have drained the die-hard fans of all but a teeny weeny, measly sliver of any hope to make it into the playoffs. Consequently, My Sports... Read more »

Green Bay and Chicago Rivalry Can't be Dismissed: The Cheeseheads are Gloating and the Bears Fans are Pissed

Last Sunday – as you know, our very own Chicago Bears were defeated, once again, by the notorious Green Bay Packers..Damn it. View image | gettyimages.com So, although we are cursing them and making excuses for our team’s failures, I would like to share (reprinted with permission) a lovely poem by Nancy insight from a...

Free Group Therapy Sessions for Depressed Chicago Bears Fans

…needed urgently. Are the “Powers That Be” that head up the Chicago Bears organization considering offering group therapy sessions at numerous locations throughout the city? I hope so. This is no joke. I am sure that there are throngs of Bears fans demonstrating alarming symptoms of severe emotional distress…anger, denial, rage, bitterness, shame and more,... Read more »

Farewell Julius Peppers and Why I Think I Like You - No Football Involved

The Chicago Bears just gave the veteran defensive end Julius Peppers the ax. However, it was the friendly ax…thank you for all you’ve done for the Bears …however you’re getting too old (34)…there’s the money issue…and you haven’t been that “good in the sack” department (football reference only). Sigh. So it goes in the revolving... Read more »

It's NFL Playoff Time: Chicago Bears Fans are Singing the Blues but The Cutlers are Ecstatic

As we head into another NFL Playoff weekend, a dark, gloomy cloud hangs over the Windy City, home of the loser Bears. As everyone knows, we didn’t make it into the playoffs again – for six out of the last seven years we’ve been a no show. But who’s counting. As a result My Sports... Read more »

Cheese Grater Hats, Wine Bras, and Plastic Totebags for Soldier Field: Must Have Football Accessories

The Cheese Grater Hat has arrived. In response to the always fashionable Cheesehead Chapeaux (a large wedge of foam cheese proudly worn on the heads of scores of Green Bay Packer fans), rival Bears fans have been spotted as Cheese GraterHeads. This visual is self explanatory and hysterical one-upmanship. Last night we were watching the... Read more »

Bear Down Chicago Bears and The Emmys: Attempting to Juggle a Sunday Night Dilemma

Sunday Fun Day. Chicago is 2-0 and Bears fever for NFL Game 3 actually started the minute after last week’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Now, at some point during the week, I realized that Da Bears have the 7:30pm Sunday night slot against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, at some point during the week, I... Read more »

NFL Today TV Show on CBS Inspires Me To Give Football Quiz to Partygoers With Amusingly Predictable Results

Happened to watch a snippet of the NFL Today show on CBS before the Bears game last Sunday. The Talking Heads were (or so I thought) quizzing each other on football trivia. Questions: “What city will the AFC Championship game be held in this year? And “What team will get the first pick of the... Read more »

Why We Did Not Go To The Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari Wedding

  Finally.  They did it. Chicago Bears Quarterback, Jay Cutler and  former reality TV personality, Kristin Cavallari have a piece of paper to seal their yes-no-maybe (and along came baby) love story.  Now, as you might know, I have given our sometimes mopey QB some do or die advice via this blog…read   “Jay Cutler:...

Brian Urlacher Jerseys Saved From The Goodwill Pile

Ever since Brian Urlacher began his negotiations with the Bears, I have been duly concerned about the fate of the Brian Urlacher #54 Jerseys owned by tens of thousands of Bear’s fans. If you are at Soldier Field, or for that matter, at any sports bar in the city on a Bear’s game day, what... Read more »
