Welcome to a new season of the “Bear Down Baffa” blog! We hope you are as fired up about the 2009 Chicago BEARS as we are. You may notice that our new photos appear to have been taken on the grass inside Soldier Field. That’s because they were. Yeah, we don’t fuck around at the Bear Down Baffa blog.
To prove my undying love for the BEARS, and to demonstrate my willingness to go farther than the average bear, I used my mad B&E skills (Breaking & Entering) to sneak inside. And I didn’t even break anything. So technically, it was only an E – if that E stood for “The greatest day of my life since I broke in the first time!” Yeah, I also snuck into an empty Soldierz about 25 years ago. And apparently so has my brother, my sister, my mom, my dad, my uncle and two of my cousins – and those two aren’t even from Chicago! I guess it’s in the blood.
It’s this type of dedication and coverage you can expect from the only Bear Down Baffa blog in existence. Week in and week out we will deliver the goods, or as fellow-Chicagoan Kanye West would say, we will “put shit down.” Sometimes you won’t like it, but it will always be good for you – kind of like taking medicine, taking a dump, or getting a good ass-whoopin’. So sit back, relax, strap it down and enjoy the show!
Coming Soon: A 2,000 word post on the Jay Cutler acquisition and how ginormous it was, along with our prediction for the 2009 Chicago BEARS season!

Hi. This is Spell Check. You might not have heard of me. But I can help you correct words that are spelled wrong. For example, you go “FATHER” than the average bear, or should it be FARTHER. I am a free service and here to help.
Supa Bow Supa Bear!!!!

donnie g,
as always, thanks for your comment. you are as important to this blog as toilet paper is to a man shitting in the woods.
btw, spell check doesn’t catch that word because technically it is spelled correctly. it was just the wrong word. but nice try.
i do appreciate your catch – and your pointing it out to all my readers (all 4 of them) instead of sending me a private memo. i need to be held accountable, just like the BEARS. so i fired my copy editor, and i kicked his 82 yr old father in the nuts on your behalf.
i can’t go back in time, but i can edit a post after it has been posted. so i’ve changed it. i also added a sentence about how i pissed in your beer a few yrs ago, and you didn’t even notice it, and you drank it all up, and then you said it was the best beer you ever drank.
thanks for reading, and bear down!

It’s not “farther”, it’s “further”. Go Bears.

(uncle) dan,
loook” wii kan arg you somantix ande spulling or to grammmmmer all days jump isosoleez apple. you to frogrive allweys forgett can if you under of.
bottom line, i can call “poetic license.” maybe i intentionally spelled that word wrong just so someone would finally comment on the blog. maybe i was testing you to see if you’d catch it.
my point is, there are no red pens on the gridiron, and that is what i’m interested in talking about!
but thanks for reading, and bear down! two times!!

Right you are Dan!
Farther or Further?
Farther refers to length or distance. It is the comparative form of the word far when referring to distance.
Further means “to a greater degree,” “additional,” or “additionally.” It refers to time or amount. It is the comparative form of the word far when meaning “much.”

wow. i never dreamed it would come to this. i just fired my back-up copy editor for making the wrong correction. and after referencing my grammar book, i realized that the best word choice for the phrase in question is “your mom.”

Hey Baffa,
Where did you go to college, ISU? Your grammar, spelling and general use of the word Fuck is horrible. Even after all that, I look forward to your blog!!!!!!

BOR,
thanks for your comment. i think it was right fucking on!
as for my undergraduate study, i never finished college. i did a 5 year bit on a B&E and my loan funds dried up. however, our blog champions the right of free speech. so if you would kindly take your communist propoganda elsewhere, we’d be much obliged.
thanks for fucking reading, and fucking bear down!

This blog is off to a ROUSING start! Baffa, people are reading it and it’s only training camp. You have reached success. BTW- My uncle, who is a Chicago cop, asked for your information, and I gladly passed it along. I hope you don’t mind.

don, i think you’re wrong. people are only reading because they love the BEARS. i’m just spreading the word, like a priest or a rabbi. but i don’t make this stuff up, it comes to me via the word of God. so i pass any praise along to Him.

Baffa,
As long as Jesus is finishing off your 40 after the first Bears loss, I’ll be reading every week. Tell Donny G to shove his grammer lesson in his pie hole.

Wormser has reminded me that I am also looking for my lost pie hole, which was taken along with my hammer and tool belt. Therefore, I have no where to shove my grammAR (see worm spelling).
THANK YOU JESUS!
