At Least With the Bears, It Was Less Boring

Thank you, Chicago Bears. You gave us a 300-pound offensive back who runs for touchdowns, a quarterback who wears gloves indoors, a Hall of Fame running back who is not concerned with personal statistics, a defense that puts eight barking men on the line, a Super Bowl victory when you were supposed to, and a coach who directed you to come out throwing in the second half with a 20-point lead.

Best of all, you put a spark of life to what had been one of the most predictable and boring events ever devised--professional football. If only the other 27 teams could be like you, what a sport we’d have.
