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 king is dead.  Long live the king!

Bret Fahrerverveh passed his legendary QB torch Sunday, and stepped down from the game of football out of shame for being out-played by a QB punk, Kyle “Backin’ Up and Supportin” Orton, who likes his liquor and hates his razor.  And much like relinquishing his throne to his son, if only he were drafted by the Bears and determined to a fault to grow a beard, Kyle “Whiskey Snortin” Orton accepted it along with the trophy for winning the Wisconsin State Football Championship in Sunday’s dominance of the Green Bay Fudge Packers.  And like a courtship with the toilet after a painkiller binge that left you constipated, this meaningless game brought some much needed relief to the Super Fan nation.  (more…)

Much like watching a critically wounded bear in the wilderness of Minnesota snuff and puff, and pant and twist, and writhe in pain as the life slowly and methodically trickles out of it with each drop of blood, each breath becoming more difficult than the last, it’s soft, half-hearted moans hidden by the winter’s rustling leaves beneath, as it stumbles from tree to tree, down to its knees, until it eventually comes crashing down with an ungraceful thud that rocks the ground for acres, our season finally – FINALLY – died last night.  And I, for one, don’t give a rat’s ass.  (more…)

The Chicago Bears 2007 season was put out of its misery tonight.  They are survived by a nation of broken hearted Super Fans who will mourn for months.  Please remember first and foremost that grieving is a process.  If you are feeling desperate or suicidal, seek help (suicidepreventionlifeline.org).

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…)

Special Teams isn’t necessarily the way you want to win, but it still counts.  And the Bear’s Special Teams brings a whole new meaning to the word “special.”    (more…)

Things are not good for the Chicago Bears.  And that means things are not good at Bear Down 2007 HQ.  (more…)

A crappy win against a crappy team by a crappy team – now that’s a lot of crap.  But I’ll take it.  (more…)

It’s been a miserable week.  The last thing I needed was another Bear loss.  (more…)

Apparently somebody hasn’t been playing nice with others.  (more…)

Keep hope alive, keep hope alive!  (more…)

Adrian Peterson Day at Soldierz Field came unexpectedly, especially because it was a visiting player named Adrian Peterson, not the one wearing a Bears jersey.  (more…)

Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially back in business!  (more…)

The Cowboys are who we thought they were!  And we let ‘em off the hook!  (more…)

It was fun, but it’s only one.  And Rex has yet to get ‘er done.  (more…)

They say the captain must go down with the ship.  (more…)

Selective Service
GM Jerry Angelo got us a steal at the end of the first round of the Draft, getting the offensive equivalent of Urlacher:  6’5″, 250 lb TE Greg Olsen, who runs a 4.51 40.  Like Devin Hester before him, he comes out of the All-Pro (and sometimes criminal) breeding grounds of the U of Miami, so we can expect big things from him.  RB Garrett Wolfe out of Northern IL looks he could be an impact player as well.  (more…)
