Patriots are formidable but flawed — Bears can seize the day

there is only one response to an article like this:

As you can see from the calendar, the game is coming up this weekend. I'm sure you are as excited for it as I am, as our cities are rivals and have been for quite some time. Your confidence in your team is high, but rest assured, you will suffer humiliation when the sports team from my area defeats the sports team from your area.

On numerous occasions, you have expressed the conviction that your area's sports team will be victorious. I must admit that every time I hear you make this proclamation, I react with both laughter and disbelief. "Ha!" I say to myself with laughter. "What?!" I say to myself in disbelief. How could you believe that your sports team could beat my sports team? It is clear that yours is inferior in every way.

When the sporting contest begins, the players on your team will be treated as though they are inconsequential. It will be remarkably easy for my team to accumulate more points than yours. There are many reasons for this, starting with the inferior physical attributes of the players representing your area. Strength, speed, and agility are just three of the qualities that the players on the team from your area lack. The players representing my area, on the other hand, have these traits in abundance.

I would not be a bit surprised if the individuals on the team from your area were sexually attracted to members of their own gender. That is how ineffective they are on the field of battle.

Underscoring your team's inferiority is its choice of colors. It is ludicrous to believe that your team's colors inspire either respect or fear. Instead, they appear to have been chosen by someone who is colorblind or, perhaps, bereft of sight altogether. The colors for my team, on the other hand, are aesthetically pleasing when placed in proximity to one another. They are a superior color combination in every way.

While we are on the subject of aesthetics, let us compare the respective facilities in which our teams play. While my team's edifice is blessed with architectural splendor and the most modern of amenities, yours is a thoroughly unpleasant place in which to watch a sporting contest. I know of what I speak, for I once attended a game between our respective teams in your facility. Let's just say the experience left me wishing that my car was inoperable that day due to mechanical problems, rendering it impossible for me to get to your area to attend the game.

If you need another reason why the sporting franchise representing my area is superior, look no further than the supporters for the two sides. Not only are the supporters of the team from my region more spirited, but they are also more intelligent and of finer breeding than you and the rest of your ilk. In addition, the female supporters of the team from my area possess more attractive countenances and figures than yours. Some of the women from my side that I have observed could make a living by posing for pictures for major men's magazines. The women who cheer for your team, I'm afraid, are far too unattractive to do so.

One of the more pathetic aspects of the team from your area is the fact that only people in your immediate area possess an affinity for it. By means of contrast, the team from my area inspires loyalty and affection in individuals who live in many other geographic locations.

To illustrate this point, let me tell a brief story: Recently, I was on vacation in an area of the country far away from my own, and I saw many individuals wearing items of clothing that bore the insignia of my team. I approached one such individual and asked him if he originated from my area. He said no, explaining that he simply liked the team from my area and had for many years. Interestingly enough, during this trip, I saw no clothing or other paraphernalia bearing the insignia of your team.

Do you still doubt that the team from your area is inferior to the one from mine? Just look at our teams' respective histories. In the past, we have defeated you on any number of occasions. Granted, there were times when your team beat my team, but those were lucky flukes.

The day of the game will soon be at hand. And no matter how hard you pray to a higher power or how many foam accoutrements you wear in support of the team from your area, your team will be defeated. We will win and you will lose. This is your fate.

Prepare for humiliation. It shall be upon you at the designated hour
 
This is what is irritating about the taping thing. It gave everyone an excuse for being in denial about the fact that the Pats dominated the league for most of the decade, and it opened a door for the insecure, rude trolls who need to lash out in order to provide some brief reduction of the desperation they live in. In other words, it led to a cluttering of the internet and TV screen.

It's a crutch. That's all it is. Just a GD CRUTCH. :mad: When you have no point, or no real intelligent basis of debate, just fall back on Spygate and Brady's Hair. Words for a sound-bite level era. Hey, it sells papers, right? :bricks:
 
It's a formula article.

But if I'm from Chicago, I feel a little better now for a couple of days.

Meh. Pathetic? I am sure it compares well to select Boston columnists during the down years

Just gathering wool... this just doesn't seem all that different from most hometown sports media. You get rah-rah pieces everywhere.

Typical rah-rah piece? I disagree.

1) He actually tries to convince us that the Pats success in the LAST 4 games is ancient history. Totally absurd!

2) He peppers the article with unneccessary and childish remarks about Tom Brady being a cover-boy with long hair.

3) He just HAD to throw in a reference to cameragate and said that BB is willing cheat (hedging his bet for when the bears lose perhaps?)

4) The article seemed choppy, poorly supported by facts and well-reasoned arguments as to why the bears will win, and just generally a poor read.

For his sake, I hope his Bears prepare and execute better than him.
 
After taking a year to rebuild historic Soldier Field (during which time the team played home games at Memorial Stadium in Champaign), the Bears christened the new stadium in September 2003.

I was in Chicago earlier this year and saw the new Soldier Field from a distance. What a dreadful architectural job! IIRC, it was almost universally panned when the remodeling was finally revealed. After seeing it with my own eyes, I had to concur. Surely there was a better way to modernize all the facilities while maintaining a certain architectural integrity and not make the historic arena of Soldier Field look like a giant flying saucer! :bricks:
 
Not according to the game information listed on Patriots.com. According to them it was played at Soldier's Field..

Then the website is wrong.

I saw that game on TV with my very eyes and distinctly remember it.

This board sorely needs a "high five" button for posts. 100% agree, though it is wonderful once inside (you can't see the hideousness).
 
36-7.

Turd.
 
Guy is an idiot. If you want to sit there and say SB 36, 38 and 39 are ancient history, well that's a stupid thing to say but I won't argue it. But to say the past 4 weeks are "ancient history" is absurd.
 
or, as Smessy might say...abs-turd:biggrin2:
 
The diem was decidedly not carped.
 
Cutler is god awful. I knew we would be able to pick him off a few times.
 
That was in Champaigne, Illinois - - Univ of Illinois.

Soldier Field was being renovated at that time and the Bears played a season or two down south in Tony Eason's land.

Great last minute win, btw.

well done you old fart(like me).....Tony Eason was from Champaigne,Illinois....wish he had stayed there:rocker:
 
Great read. Would read again.
