SUPERBOWL baby!!!!

HOLY Wow!!! man that felt gooooooooooooooood, DAAAAAAAA BEAARRS are in the Superbowl after 21 years! what a game! what defense, what offense what special teams!! The Bears win, the Bears win!! and now they are going south for the winter... look out Miami.
The game started late, 2:00 pm kickoff, everyone and thier moms had picked the "Fairy tale" Saints to win the game. We hosted a lunch/game/beer for 6 of our friends. The Bears started a little nervously, 3 field goals, 1 turnover, score 9-0. The nervousness stemmed from Rexy looking a little Shaky (a lot shaky). Then Thomas Jones took over and ran 69 yards in 6 carries to score the Bears first TD. The same play was called 6 times and they still couldn't catch him. This was a result of Ced Benson, the longhorn pounding the Saints for the first 12 minutes or so. We saw a defender bounce back 2 yds upon hitting Ced Ben and Ced kept going.. this man is a BEAST...
16-0 and we could see the palm trees. But Drew Brees has passed for 4000 yds this season and he showed why he was a runner up to the MVP award. they had a sweet play for the first TD before half time and then came the turning point of the game in the third quarter. The Bears were struggling and the Saints started at thier 5 yd line, Brees hit Bush for a short throw who just turned on his afterburners and ran to the end zone 88 yd touchdown. What he did upon scoring that, was unforgivable. Brian Urlacher and 4 more defenders chased him 88 yds, which just shows thier atheletic abilities and they had given up the TD but were completing the play by running down. Bush turned around, pointed to BU and somersaulted into the end zone and proceeded to dance. ROOKIE, BIG MISTAKE! U DO NOT POINT TO OUR LEADER ON DEFENSE AND THE HEART OF THIS CITY AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!! The Bears were upset, the coaches were upset, the CITY was furious. The defense just shut the game down after that.
Brad Maynard who was stellar all game, punted the ball at the Saints 2, the Bears defense chased down Brees on 1st down, he escaped, 2nd down, they chased him down and he threw the ball away, Intentional grounding in the end zone. the prettiest sight on the field for a defense. the refs and the defense doing the "I dream of Jeannie sign" hands clapped over thier heads, Safety, 2 points 18-14.
Rexy suddenly decided to show up. 4 completions for Bernard Berrian, 4 same plays. 1 atheletic catch for a TD, 25-14. The rout was on. Drew Brees fumble, Ogunleye recovery, Ced Ben TD, 32-14. Next series, turnover, Thomas Jones TD, 39-14. GAME OVAAAA....
Lovie Smith got a cold water bath, the snow came down gently, Mama McCaskey smiled and Da Bears got thier paws on the George Halas trophy, Papa Bears trophy is back home.
The celebrations had begun, I called my pal R, he was as overjoyed as I was.
Onto Miami.... Last stop bring your speedos.
