Naysaying Is Easy...Belief Is Hard.
How 'bout dem Bears?
Nena asked me tonight during the game if we could name our firstborn Bear Z. I said no, but we could get a pair of cats and name them Singletary and Urlacher. Yeah, looks like we're not having kids or cats for the forseeable future.
But now do you people believe? Now do you see it? Yes, this team is flawed, but y'know what? Teams are always flawed. And now Da Bears have a bye and at least one game at home. Yup, the road to Miami runs through Soldier Field baby!
But, I must hold out. Nena and I promised each other that we wouldn't buy our jerseys (Payton for me, Urlacher for her) until Da Bears were into the NFC Championship game. So...I will continue to hold out and not jinx this.
Also, with Al's unlikely win over in FALAFEL it looks like I just won my fantasy football league! I honestly don't know which was cooler, seeing Da Bears put up 42, seeing Hester take TWO kickoffs for TDs...or winning my fantasy football league. Whichever it is...thanks Al. Thank you for rising above the gutter dwelling you've been doing for two seasons to come back and beat the best team in your conference tonight, the only team not mathematically eliminated from the title. It means a lot to me. *sniff*
I mean, it's not like I didn't do some of it myself. The Stormin' Shepeards ARE on an 11 game win streak right now. I've almost totally forgotten the 1-2 start I got off to. WHOO! FOOTBALL!

...some of us are content with a 2 game win streak.
Dude, don't you remember Major League? Two isn't a win streak, three is. But the Belles are on a roll...right into the juggernaught that is ME!
do we play each other this week?
Yup, m'boys are traveling to the ATL for a late season game with nothing but PRIDE on the line
whatever, you can't throw me off the trail of the xmas present. I have a nose the knows man, and this nose KNOWS baby that's right, this nose knows...
Nenster, you can go ahead and bring your Stormin' Shepards into the Dirty South and say that pride is the only thing on the line. But I promise you that as soon as that pigskin is kicked off in the Jane Fonda Dome on Sunday, there is going to be a lot more than pride to play for.
You may have an eleven game win streak. You may have won the league. But you have yet to beat the Belles.
The Belles haven't had the best season, but they've triumphed over adversity. We've survived a GM who drafted Daunte Culpepper, Aaron Brooks (for brownies to be received later), and Curtis Martin. We've survived injury. We've survived personnel changes. We've survived everything the F.A.L.A.F.E.L. could throw at us, and we've won 3 of our last 4 games.
You may have it all in the bag Cruzer, but I promise you, you will remember the day you stepped into The Jane Fonda Dome, RIGHT HERE in downtown Hotlanta, and played the Belles.
Dude, if I can beat Micah, Cody can beat you. Sure you won the league, but it ain't worth winning if you don't win big :) And you owe me a beer.
Enjoy the trophy, dog. Keep it warm. It comes home in January 2008.
