Bear Down Baffa

If any of you are still reading, I’m grateful the season is finally over.  But I’m even more grateful that we ran the table in our final two games, the games Lovie Smith called the first two of 2008.  And not only did we win, but we kicked ass and took names – old school – to go out with some New Year’s fireworks.  (more…)

The mother #$%@ing Giants took one out of our own #$%@ing playbook with a “get out-played for 50-some minutes and then pull a #$%@ing horseshoe out of your @%$ in the final #$%@ing minutes” come-from-behind win.  As is typical this season, the Bears never fail to fail.  (more…)
