Chicago Bears Blogging

What's better than watching your favorite team lose a crucial Sunday night game, losing to a team in almost the same gut-punching way that they did the year before?

Staying up to blog about it.

I've been blogging for a few weeks for NFL Blog Blitz, a new football-blog that has a fancy official partnership with the real NFL. The partnership has finally been consummated via press release, so I am free to link to my orange and blue blood, sweat, and tears. And what a way to make this public:

"Are You There Bears? It's Me, The Running Game."

Since this is an official NFL blog, dick jokes are a banned substance. But I managed to work in a Judy Blume reference and make a double-entendre out of "spread offense," so I'm still being me.

Admittedly, these posts won't probably make sense or be that entertaining if you don't follow the Bears, but there are a couple others I've done that I am rather proud of:

Top 10 Ways the Bears Spent Their Bye Week
The Fellowship of the Bears Fans (because nothing goes with football like Tolkien).

LOL!!

Grizzled was just moaning about yesterday's game. Come to think of it, he was moaning all during the game.

On the other hand, I just heard that the Vikings are doing Favrelous!

"Are You There Bears? It's Me, The Running Game."

Oh my God, I love and hate Favrelous.

I love it. You might just be the geekiest Bears fan ever. When I went to actually see a game, I felt like the smartest, most educated person in the stands, and I never feel like that...Of course, I was sober, so that could have been a lot of it.

You may want to recall how that kind of thing worked out for Dennis Miller.

Favre's playing on bitterness now. Multi million dollar bitterness, which tastes like teh Beer of Heaven.

"Nasty Packerses?"

I foresee some strife in the neighborhood round about Dec 13....

I heard it on XRT while driving Grizzled to the train. We both groaned and laughed. :)

What would Ditka do?

Indeed. Good stuff.

Cool new gig Brando. It is perfect for you (except for the NFL's "no fun ever" censorship).

Brando's new exposure makes Zombie happy, also.

And a bit sad. It reminds me of when U2 started to get huge....

Pretty soon Brando will be meeting with heads of state, trying to solve the worldwide shortage of dick jokes...

Dude, just don't wear the pretentious sunglasses.

Also, Kick the pope in His Holy Balls.

Brando 360°.

My current career path is to ride TLB's coattails.

Also, no Pope kicking for me. I may be lapsed, but I'm still Catholic.

Kathleen said...

ZRM couldn't do it!
