Oh,
those Bears…
I
wanted to go to the beach at Northerly Island yesterday; the island used to be
Meigs Field, before Richard M. Daley bulldozed it into a nature preserve. On the east side of the island (really a
peninsula) is a small beach, very nice.
The only problem was that yesterday happened to be a Bears’ game at
Soldier Field, and that means everything closes down two miles in three
directions.
I’m
not kidding. Go downtown on a Sunday when
the Bears are home, and you won’t find any parking. Worse, you’ve got all these football “fans,”
both for the Bears and the visitors, walking the streets. How to put this? Football fans tend to carry a lot of extra
weight on their frames which they either hide in sweatshirts and hoodies or try
to stuff into undersized clothes. Not a
pretty picture.
So,
I stay home and the Bears still stink up the joint, losing to the Chiefs by a
score of 23-7. I think coach John Fox
said they didn’t score enough points.
You think, Coach? The man hates
the media, and he downplays injuries by calling them “owies.” Why, oh why did the Cardinals ever move?
