Chicago Bears, that is.
Day after tomorrow, I will be sitting in a seat at Soldier Field, guzzling beer and biting my fingernails down to nubs. Because you know that Grossman isn’t going to make it easy on me. If we lose, I cry. I really want the Bears to win. While I’m excited to go to the game, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to handle the stress. The last several games have been like watching a horror movie that just keeps going and going and going, and either way, you’re yelling, “No! No! You idiot!” or something to that effect.
As a Chicago sports fan in general, I know better than to get my hopes up that thing will go our way on Sunday. But I’m hoping anyway. Although, I’m a bit pissed that I forgot to get my xanax prescription renewed this week. I’m really going to need relaxation enhancers at the game. Beer just isn’t going to cut it. Plus, we’re bringing the kids.
And that was an issue. On one hand, do you waste two seats at the championship game on an 11-year-old and a 9-year-old? But then, it’s a chance in a lifetime kind of thing. They can say they were at that game, and if it snows 2 inches, like it’s supposed to, it’ll be even more fun. But, I worry about the environment if the Bears do win. I’m not looking forward to the walk to the parking lot, as we have to squeeze into a little underpass kind of thing, and it’s not fun to do that with 20,000 other people at a regular game. After the Bears win, it’ll be insane. I plan on hanging out in the stadium until they kick me out. I still remember being at a playoff game many, many, many years ago, and getting caught in a crowd as people were anxiously trying to get back to their seats before kickoff, and things got so tight, I was lifted off my feet and carried a ways in the crunch, hollering the entire time “Move! Move! My feet aren’t even on the ground!” I’ve been a little freaked out by crowds, especially inebriated, celebratory crowds, ever since. I don’t want to have to try to hang on to my children in one of them.
Anyway, cross your fingers and toes and all that good stuff. Fuck New Orleans. Go Bears!
Reggie Bush will Shame Urpussy and Da Bears.
In 2nd Story rehearsals, there’s this guy doing a story about how his dad took him to see the Lions vrs. the Packers in some championship game years ago and how that was a defining moment in his life and his relationship with his father and he’s always carried it with him, and it’s really good and powerful and funny … and the thing is, I’m not really into sports, but I’ll bet your kids will always remember you taking them to this game.
You’re the cool mom is what you are.
After all that has happened to sports in Chicago, I always respect those who still cheer for Chicago — even if I am a die-hard Packer fan.
Good for the Bears…
it pains me to say that.
The only person Reggie Bush shamed was himself.
My kids BETTER always remember us taking them to this game!! Kidding. They will. It was fun as hell.
Thanks, Butter!
