That's an easy one: yes!

To save you the click, there's nothing to the article. It just notes that a number of Bears players switched to longer cleats at halftime, which isn't terribly unusual as the field worsens in a storm.

What's amusing about this is that there was a pre-game story talking about the Bears having an advantage because they'd know what shoes to wear better than their opponents would.

exactly...I can't say I'm familiar with the Chicago area as far as relative intelligence with the rest of the country goes, but THAT is Indy level stupid

The Patriots had an unfair advantage...maybe even to the point of cheating by having an expert in men winter footwear as one of the team captains....Tom Brady, Ugg spokesman.

Dear God don't let ESPN read this post or the one under it. It will open up a whole new scandal.

The Bears need to worry less about the balls of their feet and more the other balls that their QB distributes so freely.

Too bad the Bears couldn't change their QB at halftime.

Of course, you really mean what kind of cheats the Bears defense was playing (against).
