The Undefeated Chicago Bears

The most distinctive mark of a cultured mind is the ability
to take another's place, and see life and its problems
from a point of view different from one's own.
—A.H.R. Fairchild

Football is no place for a cultured mind, and mine ain't all that cultured.

But I been down on Lovie, The Grossortonman QB dual, the GM, the offensive line, the draft picks, the running backs, receivers, and the holes in the defense that Chester Taylor could run through not to mention Adrian Peterson.

Being a Bear fan I feel a bit bad.

Its time to give Lovie some love.

Time to put myself in Lovie's blue suede shoes and sprinkle lucky Bear fairy dust.

So being, or striving to be, a Bear optimist and knowing dwelling on negativity only increases its dreadful power here goes, the ultimate  Bear run  of 2008.

A team that will win with a vicious, vibrant, scoring defense, brilliant Bear special teams, and an average but mistake free offense.

Parity makes everything possible.

Parity makes the NFL's world go round, it makes its world go round, it makes the NFl go round.

Toss Two Faces football coin in the air and everything changes instantly each season.

And remember as the singer said I ain't always right but I never been wrong...

Perhaps I've been too hard on the Grossortonman at QB.

Now, by two headed Janus, lets look at the good side of Grossortonman and the sad state of the NFC's North's other scatter armed QB's.

The Bears beat the Brett Favre lead Pack twice last year. Aaron Rodgers is an unknown and the Pack fans turn on the coach and QB as the Jets win each week.

The Bears sweep the suddenly torn asunder Pack once again.

Jon Kitna doesn't have much, if anything, on the Bears QB pair. The Matt Millen Lions are a mess. Kitna turns the ball over to the Bears swarming defense 11 times in two games.

The Bears sweep the Lions, then the Saudis buy Ford Motors and finally fire Matt Millen.

Grossortonman actually is better then No Action Tarvaris Jackson and the Bears sweep the Vikings with defense. Peterson shoulder goes bad with eight men in the box smashing him weekly.

The Vikings follow the Lakers to Los Angeles, the Pack collapses under turnover prone Rodgers, the Fords flee Motor City, and the Bears sweep the North.

By Bill George's running back battering ghost that was gravy.

Lets see what else it takes to win the big one.

The Bears surprise Jim Sorgi or overwhelm hobbled Peyton Manning, either way they upset the stunned Colts.

The Steve Smith less Panthers are beaten by a late Jake Delhomme interception for a Bears TD, Jake's fourth pick of the day.

Defense carries the Bears over the stumbling Bucs and an Eagle team that has suddenly aged along the offensive line.

The Rams and Falcons are the two worst teams in the league and easy wins.

Grossortonman throws four picks against the Titans but luckily for the Bears Vince Young throws seven. Bears win 6-3 in a  game that sets records for offensive futility.

The Jags jump on the Bears 13-0 but then go way conservative. The defense steals a late INT's TD then Hester runs back the winning punt when Del Rio opts not to go for it on fourth and inches from the Bears 35.

The Saints are one dimensional. Reggie Bush doesn't want to run inside against the Bears. Forte has a big day. The Bears win by two scores as Brees gets blown down by the Bear 's rush.

In the finale against the still struggling Texans the Bears dominate with a rousing 31-0 win.

Undefeated, with big mo, a bye, and the home cold on their side for the playoffs.

The Bears draw the Seahawks in the bitter cold and send Holmgren home, or at least to ESPN, forever with a loss. The Seahawks can't throw in the high winds and the snow stops their weak running game. The Bears sneak by 9-5.

Adrian Peterson runs for 323 yards against hapless Wade Phillips and the stunned Cowboys. Phillips is fired, Jessica leaves Tony, and the merry Vikings head to frigid Chicago amid rumors of a move to California.

The Bears stuff Peterson and Jackson turns the ball over six key times inside his own fifty. A blizzard begins as Urlacher runs in the winning score on an 85 INT return late in the 4th quarter for a 13-7 win.

Somewhere Ed Spinkle's flexes his claw.

Dick Butkus and Dan Hampton's knees feel young, mean, and strong.

The Old Bears are back.

Somewhere Sweetness smiles.

Its Super Bowl Party time for Chicago.

And the Bears know they can beat that old man who finally led the Jets back to the big game.

Go Grossortonman!

In a salute to the Bears Paul McCartney joins Bruce Springsteen and Jim Belushi at halftime of the Super Bowl to sing the song thats been sweeping the country:

With a little Lovie luck we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little Lovie luck we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding
