Da Bears

I am not a Football addict. My Sundays do not revolve around watching the game. Yet I can remember back to the time when I would never miss a game that was broadcasted on a Sunday or a Monday. At one time, in my life, I could call the penalties before they announced them. Therefore I must be a Football Fan.

Today I watched my favorite team nearly escape being eliminated from the playoffs. The Chicago Bears beat the Seattle Seahawks in overtime. Growing up in Chicago in the 50’s and 60’s you were either a Bears or Cardinals fan. The Cardinals first moved to Saint Louis and then on to Arizona. Then the Bears moved from playing in Wrigley Field to playing in Soldier Field.

I lived in Maryland for nearly 30 years. At first, I cheered for the Baltimore Colts, and after they departed to Indianapolis, I cheered for the Washington Redskins. However, the Chicago Bears were and always will be my favorite football team. I grew up watching the “Monsters of the Midway”. Can any real Football fan ever forget Dick Butkus (an old personal friend of mine), Gayle Sayers, Walter Payton, or even “Fridge” Perry?

The Bears haven’t been to the Super Bowl for 21 years. And, I’m getting excited. I haven’t gotten this excited about watching Football for years, since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, my current local team, went to the Super Bowl.

Go Bears!
