Da Bears Are Annoying
by Kevin
Everybody knows him. He's the kid who forgot to do his homework, but the teacher was absent. He's the kid who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He's the annoying kid who is not annoying on purpose, but is annoying because everything seems to fall softly into his lap and in your case everything falls so that it just misses your lap and compromise your chance at reproduction.
The NFL has welcomed one such kid, the Chicago Bears (and no it's not the fact that their coach is named Lovie). Not to take anything away from their 8-1 record, but the way the Bears win, they must have to stick rabbits feet in their helmets. Think back to their week 6 win over Arizona where they won despite being down 20 at half time not scoring an offensive touchdown. Some people would attribute this stunning victory to their being a great team. I credit it to the Cardinals sucking and giving them a gift wrapped win.
Which brings us to their most recent win. A week after being beaten by the frequently hapless Miami Dolphins, the Bears beat fellow NFC powerhouse New York Football Giants 38-20. Once again, they were virtually handed the game because of a more sub-par than usual by the young Manning and thanks in part to a 108 yard return of a missed field goal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but returning a missed field goal is THE most annoying way to score a touchdown in football, and the Bears have done it twice in the past 4 years!
Perhaps what is most annoying about the Bears is that they don't go out and win games. They let the teams they're playing lose them. When the Bears get to the playoffs, they will have to face teams that will be playing well and more than likely, and hopefully, will lose their first game. Sometimes this kid needs to have that teacher actually be in when the paper is due and feel what it is like to get a zero.
