My cell phone beeped around 4 p.m. CST. It was a voice mail. I checked it promptly and it was my brother-in-law calling from the parking lot of Dolphins Stadium. He simply said “You’re allowed to be a Bears fan now.”
That’s how dismal today’s game was to two different family-members and life-long Dolphins fans. Where to start? Honestly do you want me to repeat what we all saw?
No.
So instead I’ll point out how bad the broadcasters were. First: they got the yardage wrong on almost every play. If it was a no-gain they said “he got about three yards out of that.” Next it was second and ten. Umm…you can’t get three yards and have a second and ten. Also every time Green Bay scored there was a shout and scream of “the Pack!” WTF?
The only good news is we’re moved into our new place after about a two week purgatory. The new 50 inch plasma is installed and they even had the game shown locally this week here in Chicago (because the Bears are on a bye and Green Bay has a huge following here). Here’s a picture of the new screen and another one of my dog looking at me as I screamed at Ronnie Brown to “make a cut dammit” or the other half of the time “just go straight!”
I’m not going to be a Bears fan but after another miserable loss how can this team go on? What’s the explanation? Is it all Randy McMichael’s fault? Bad bounces/tips? I don’t know. All I know is that I haven’t followed college ball enough this year to figure out who we would pick in the top five of the draft.
