Go, Bears! As my hometown is Chicago, that’s all I know what to say. But I don’t know much about football . Oh my cousins co..but I don’t… we would get together on Sunday and the guys would all watch football. Da Bears! Who knows what will happen. By the way, well written. Pangie xx

Now that you write it like that, it seems pretty dire. Funny thing is, the first two stanzas apply to our selected, hmm, elected president(just off by 2). If I recall, the Fridge and company kicked the Pats' butts that year.

I would never rub it in Gershon. But as a Chiefs diehard fan, I found the game quite enjoyable. Sorry, my friend, I just couldn't resist.

Ouch! That's got to hurt. After the Cardinals beat Dallas (with three all=pro players out). I'm not my usual optimistic fan today. Your game was an ugly one too. Another week another chance. Have a good week of poetry writing, gw. Bill

Disappointing seasons...full of hope and expectations...same true here with the Dallas Cowboys. So frustrating. Clever write, sir. Enjoy your evening, Sara

Well, at least the Cowboys have won two games already-- more than the Bears will win all year, I say...

Sounds like a Summer Sensation: 'The Glory and the Shaft.' (Ooh. That could be a bit 'prickly,' eh?! lol).

Something tells me, it's not the QB's as much as them not being coached up. Coaching is a very important part of development. My .02 Great to see you again od friend:)

Well, in all fairness, Chicago's not exactly known for it's good decisions:) When I think of Chicago, I'm thinkin', Otis Rush, Elmore James, Buddy Guy, etc...

Well, you're right about coaching being important... And yet, 44 losers in a row says something, eh?! ~ Unbearable!
