Thanks to John that posted this link to what I thought was a hilarious Bears parody on the BearsHistory.com Facebook page. Very nicely done, too bad I can’t argue with it. What a shame. Enjoy your weekend, during which we’re guaranteed to not see a maddening Bears loss! Go bye week!

The Saints were media darlings, [...]
Colts 29, Bears 17: Super Bowl 41: February 4, 2007 The Bears were back in the Super Bowl. I repeat, the Bears were back in the Super Bowl for the first time in 21 years. It seems like a dream. It was a wonderful two weeks leading up to the big game to bask in [...]
