Well, I'm going to let you in on a little known fact of the Davies household. We are both obnoxious Bears fans. In fact, there is no way we could even watch the games in public we are so out of control. You might not believe this but during the game this weekend I could barely sit down and shouted at the TV like a maniac. I believe I may have uttered things like "Shut up cry baby, Sean Peyton. Stop kissing New Orleans butt, Troy Aikman." Brian may have been even heard yelling, "GO Baby, Go!" Both our stomachs were in knots. We were even so pathetic we instituted the slow-clap for really important plays. What is it about the NFL that can have two rational adults sitting on the edge of their seats like their own livelihood is at risk?
That was us this past weekend and this past weekend was good for Bears fans. Those of you that are not Bears fans are truly missing out. It is so fun to root for a team that plays hard-nosed defense oriented football, in a cold weather city with a no baloney attitude. It is awesome to cheer on Urlacher and even the much maligned Grossman, as all the anchors can talk about is the story book year of the Saints and the leadership of Sean Peyton (who by the way didn't even have his team practice on a real field in prep for Sunday's game.) The Bears are shuffling into the super bowl despite just about every paid sportscasters predictions. But I personally want to thank the Jim Romes and Jay Mariottis of the sports world for giving the Bears even more to prove, and I am glad they are continuing this in the build up to the Superbowl. If you are wondering what Brian and I will be doing February 4th, we'll be sitting on the edges of our seats, like it's our lives that hang in the balance, rooting for none other than the Chicago Bears, who will hopefully beat a much touted yet inferior team....maybe like....Peyton Manning's team.
