GO COLTS!!! GO COLTS!!!

One Game - One Dream

Okay, it took 23 years (since they've been in Indy), but they finally did it. Just a shame the Saints didn't win. Would've been nice for them to add a trip to the Super Bowl to their 1st ever AFC South Division win.

Ahhh well.....


GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boyfriend took me to the game yesterday it was a great time. Miami here we come!

NEVER!!! Not gonna happen. The Bears played strong the 2nd half last night also. I was beginning to think after the way they played the 1st half, that they were going to blow it.


Did any of you hear what Cowboy Maloneys out of Jackson, Mississippi did? They stated back when the teams were at training camp that anyone who bought a big screen plasma screen tv and the Saints went to the Super Bowl and won, that they would refund what the purchase price was to all who purchased one. I bet they are thanking the Saints for not winning last night. They were looking at paying out alot of money.

My Goodness, this is awful.

I didn't even come on here last night because I was absolutely devestated. Drew Brees was my Big ten QB when he was in college, he is my man. I am NOT a Saints fan, but I was pulling for Drew, big time. I cannot abide the Bears..I detest smart a$$ Rex, the defense carried him all year. This is only going to inflate his head more. So..The defense is going to the Superbowl.

I am, however, very pleased about Indy. Go Colts.

Two things:

First is this website: bearvscolt.com/
Pretty funny stuff!

Second, in honor of the Chicago Bears going to Super Bowl 41, here are 41 things that have changed from the last time the Chicago Bears played in the Super Bowl (which was Super Bowl 20 in 1986):

1. Brian Urlacher was in 2nd grade. Rex Grossman was in kindergarten.
2. Peyton Manning was 10 years old. Eli Manning was 5 years old. Their dad, Archie, had just retired from the NFL two years earlier.
3. Lovie Smith was in his first college coaching job at University of Tulsa.
4. Ronald Reagan was the President, and Harold Washington was the Mayor. James R. Thompson was the Governor running for re-election and his office was in the new State of Illinois Center, which is now called the James R. Thompson Center.
5. George W. Bush was 39 years old and still drinking. His father would run for President two years later.
6. Rod Blagojevich was just out of law school and was a low-level prosecutor working for the Cook County State's Attorney, Richard M. Daley.
7. Barack Obama had just moved to Illinois, and Osama bin Laden was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.
8. Red Grange and Sid Luckman were still alive.
9. The Colts had just moved to Indianapolis from Baltimore and were the doormat of the AFC EAST. The Bears were the champions of the NFC CENTRAL.
10. Property in Wicker Park and Bucktown was cheap because they were really bad neighborhoods.
11. CD players, cellular phones and fax machines were expensive, cutting edge technology and only a few people used them.
12. "Surfing the net" meant a volleyball game at the beach, and virtually no one used the "@" key on their TYPEWRITER.
13. Sam Walton was still alive and was wealthier than Bill Gates. Windows were panes of glass...not a computer operating system that was a pain in something that rhymes with glass.
14.The Soviet Union was our main enemy, and Saddam Hussein was our ally.
15. There were no lights at Wrigley Field, and the oldest park in baseball belonged to the White Sox.
16. Michael Jordan and Ozzie Guillen had just finished their "Rookie of the Year" seasons. Jordan's coach was Stan Albeck and Guillen's manager was Tony LaRussa. (Three out of four of those guys are now wearing championship rings, but what ever happened to Stan Albeck???)
17. Soldier Field had AstroTurf. The Houston Oilers played in the AstroDome.
18. The Fox TV Network didn't exist, and ESPN had yet to air a single live pro football, baseball, or basketball game.
19. MTV played music and so did some AM radio stations.
20. Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff weren't born yet; Jackie Gleason and Richard Nixon were still alive.
21. Hillary Clinton had dark hair and was the First Lady......of Arkansas!
22. "The Love Boat" and "Diff'rent Strokes" were still on network TV every week.
23. Martin Luther King Day was about to be celebrated as a National Holiday for the first time. "9-11" was a phone number many cities were just adopting for emergency calls - not a date of terror.
24. I-88 was called "Illinois Rt. 5" and I-355 hadn't been built yet.
25. What the CTA now calls "The Blue Line" had just been extended to O'Hare, and the Orange Line to Midway hadn't been built yet.
26. Q101 played adult contemporary music and most teenagers listened to WLS. Music from the 70s and 80s wasn't "retro" yet.
27. Tiger Woods hadn't won an amateur golf tournament yet.
28. Most people knew Seattle just as a city in the Northwest U.S. - not the home of grunge or Starbucks.
29. Only Southerners went to NASCAR races and only Northerners went to NHL games.
30. The Chicago area had no Wal-Marts, Targets or Home Depots, and Walgreen's was only in the Midwest.
31. Depending on your bank, your ATM card was good at only "Cash Station" machines or only at "Money Network" machines, but there were no fees.
32. "The Phone Company" was Illinois Bell.
33. They still sold leaded gasoline and you couldn't pay for your gas at the pump.
34. Discover Card hadn't been discovered yet, and Miller Genuine Draft hadn't been brewed yet.
35. Stereo TVs were the rage that HDTVs are now. 8-track tapes were still being made.
36. All of the Blockbuster Video stores that are now closing hadn't opened yet. Betamax was still competing with VHS.
37. You paid cash for your groceries and fast food, and you used a travel agent to book airline flights.
38. Bowl games didn't have corporate sponsors, and if the #1 ranked team was in a conference that played in one bowl game and the #2 ranked team was in a conference that played in another bowl game, then so be it! They let the sportswriters vote on the national champion. (and no college football games were played after New Year's Day)
39. The Baltimore Ravens were the Cleveland Browns. The Tennessee Titans were the Houston Oilers. The Oakland Raiders were the Los Angeles Raiders that had just left Oakland. The Arizona Cardinals (the former Phoenix Cardinals) were the St. Louis Cardinals, and the St. Louis Rams were the Los Angeles Rams. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Caroli na Panthers, Houston Texans, and the Cleveland Browns (not to be confused with the Cleveland Browns that are now the Baltimore Ravens) didn't exist. The Seattle Seahawks (last year's NFC Champions) played in the AFC.
40. Number 9 on the Bears was their Punky QB...not their perky field goal kicker.
41. There were no iPods - just Sony Walkmen - so if you said something about a "shuffle" on your Walkman, they assumed you were listening to "The Super Bowl Shuffle.

1985 Bears Superbowl Shuffle

Quote:

Chorus
We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start not trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Walter Payton
Well, they call me Sweetness,
And I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance.
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doin' this
Because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Willie Gault
This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin' but i love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's not one here that does it like me,
My Super Bowl Shuffle will set you free.

Mike Singletary
I'm Samurai Mike I stop'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold,
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style,
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do The Super Bowl Shuffle

(Repeat Chorus)

Jim McMahon
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double
To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Otis Wilson
I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class,
That's why some end up on their -,
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Steve Fuller
They say Jimbo is our man.
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas,
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather his ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Mike Richardson
I'm L.A. Mike, and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break'em, shake'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay,
So please don't cry to beat my hustle
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Repeat Chorus)

Richard Dent
The sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent.
if the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass,
I like to dump guys on their -.
We love to play for the world's best fans,
You better start makin'
Your Super Bowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble
Unless you practice
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Gary Fencik
It's Gary here, and I'm Mr.Clean.
They call me "hit man,"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run,
I'm on my man, one-on-one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone,
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody let's scream and yell,
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.

William Perry
You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run,
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Repeat Chorus)

Wow, now that brings back some memories...LOL..

I was in 6th grade, and I lived in Tampa..We didn't care about the Bears, everything was all about Vinny Testaverde, who played at the University of Miami then..And later went on to be a Buc (stunk it up) then went on to have some marginal success as a Jet, then stunk it up as a cowboy, then came back to the Jets and sucked, now is a third string Patriot. I can't even tell you how much my town loved him, I think he was one of my first crushes!

Remember when McMahon mooned the helicopter? LOL, he has red hair and bad teeth now!

I must admit, I'm scared..The Colts have the 7pt line, but they have at least 2 defensive players out...This could be Dungy's way of fooling around, the Patriots Belichik does this during reg season almost every week..He puts 4 or 5 starters on the injury report as questionable or even doubtful but they end up playing on Sunday..Hopefully that's what's going on here. I mean, it IS the super bowl, unless you're bleeding out your eyes what have you got to lose? Just play.

So..My husband is wearing his Manning jersey, my son is wearing his Manning jersey, and I am wearing my Freeney jersey..But I have to say, I am very worried about an upset.

PLUS...All week the Colts had to practice at The University of Miami, while the Bears got to practice at Dolphins stadium, which is where the game is. To me, that's an unfair advantage, but hey..Maybe I'm splitting hairs. Unfortunately, Defense does win championships, and the Colts Defense is not their strength.

So...Ditka said to the media that Dungy and Smith should just think of him if they were stumped at the game and try and do what he would do..

What an idiot. Um, remember when he traded his ENTIRE draft for Ricky Williams, who only lasted 1 and a half years with the Saints? Yep, let's do what Ditka does..

I was worried during the first quarter, but hey, we came back! I think it's sad that Dungy wasn't able to share such an awesome moment with his son.

When Lovie was interviewed after the game, he showed such class, as did a lot of the players. Not the usual blame game that is common from a losing side.

This article was in our local paper in the sports section.

Quote:

MIAMI - This was the Rex Grossman that the Chicago Bears and their fans feared.
When the Bears needed a clutch throw to catch up in the fourth quarter, their quarterback couldn't connect.




Instead, Grossman threw a pair of interceptions, one that Kelvin Hayden returned for a touchdown, all but ending Chicago's chance to win the Super Bowl at rainy Dolphin Stadium.

"A frustrating loss," Grossman said. "There were definitely opportunities for us to take that game and we didn't do it."
Criticized all season for his erratic play and questioned all week before the biggest game about his up-and-down season, Grossman did little to quiet his detractors Sunday night in a 29-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Two fumbled snaps - one he lost, one he didn't - and then the two underthrown fourth-quarter picks. Two throws that were pretty, well, gross.

"In hindsight, I wish I had thrown it away," Grossman said of the pass Hayden returned for a score. "The timing on it wasn't right."

Grossman's stats weren't bad - 20-of-28 for 165 yards. But the Bears had trouble manufacturing drives against Indy's tough defense. Grossman did have a 4-yard TD pass to Muhsin Muhammad in the first half, set up by Thomas Jones' 52-yard run.

But other than Devin Hester's TD return on the opening kickoff, there was not enough offense, especially in the second half. The Bears managed only 11 first downs, tied for the fifth-fewest total in a Super Bowl.

This is how it went for Grossman: In the third quarter after he'd completed a pair of passes to move the Bears to a second-and-1 at the Colts' 45, he dropped back to pass, slipped on the wet grass and was sacked for an 11-yard loss.

Facing third down, it got worse. He fumbled the snap, was able to pick the ball up before he was tackled, but another 11-yard loss put the Bears in a fourth-and-23. In two plays the Bears went backward 22 yards, and a promising drive was over.

Losing backup running back Cedric Benson to a knee injury late in the first quarter hurt Chicago's running attack. Benson's hard straight-ahead running had softened up defenses while he filled in for Jones. But his absence was not the reason the Bears couldn't maintain long scoring drives.

The Bears needed more than just the shifty running of Jones. They needed some big plays from their quarterback, and Grossman didn't provide them.

"We just never got any kind of rhythm going," Grossman said.


They never got the rhythm going because he had turnover fever!
