WWJD?

No, it’s not the man you guys are all thinking about. The most important “J” to Bears fans is the GM Jerry Angelo, because he will determine the future of the Bears this offseason. The Bears could return to their winning ways of two years ago, or continue on their downward slide from last year.

 

So I decided to go straight to the source, the GM himself, in an exclusive interview that not even Jay Glazer could land.

 

Q: So Jerry, what were your thoughts on the past Bears’ season?

 

Jerry: It was a positive year. We sorted out some key issues, and we gathered some momentum by winning the last two games. Momentum is really important at the end of the season, just look at the Packers; they carried the momentum from the end of the ’06 season into the NFC championship game this year.

 

Q: (Puzzled) Ummm...but Jerry, the Bears went from a Super Bowl team down to 7-9, missed the playoffs, the starting QB got benched, the No. 1 RB looks like a bust, and the only division team they beat was the Packers. Plus, the Packers won the last four games with Brett Favre and a young team that was improving. We won the last two with Mr. Ugly Neckbeard and a veteran team that is regressing.

 

Jerry: But we beat the Packers twice, and the Packers went all the way to the NFC championship game. So, if you do the math, that would make us the third-best team in the NFC. Plus, I told Kyle I’d give him a $200,000 bonus if he keeps the beard for the remainder of his contract. I wanted to see if he could withstand the pressure to remove it, because that thing is butt-ugly (laughing devilishly), and umm...the ability to handle pressure is a trait that a quarterback must have.

 

Q: (Laughing in approval) Hilarious, that is quite possibly the smartest thing you‘ve done as a GM, especially considering your math skills. Anyways, QB is the most glaring need on the team, since the Bears don’t have a decent one. How come you didn’t go after one of the top QBs in the draft?

  1. Hahaha nice job. Some of the Angelo answers probably are true!

  2. Funny stuff, Majesh. Keep it coming!

  3. Wow sounds like he should run for a political office the way he dodges questions and spins things.

  4. Haha, nice article. I think that everything but our offensive skill positions is going to be fine, but then again, we can't win if we don't score points and I don't think the Bears will score a lot of points, so I'm a little scared going into the season, unless Rex can get back into early 2006 form.
