I guess like any other team, you learn to take the good and the bad. Currently, it's bad and I don't know when it will get better. Just a few years ago, it must have been pretty good. Because the Bears are the only show in town, I guess they can do no wrong. No matter how poorly the organization is run, Soldier Field will always sell out and sports talk radio stations are constantly hoping for "Civic Pride Mondays" to feed their ratings. I've got to be realistic and learn that the Bears will never become the Jaguars, who are unable to fill their stadium due to a poor economy and no playoff appearances. Most JAX games are not sold out, and thus blacked out in eastern Florida.
At least the jokes are starting to roll in for the Bad News Bears. My extended buddies out there don't know whether I am a Bears fan or not. (I'm not.) But I guess everybody on a contact list is starting to get these:
COURT RULING
Chicago Illinois, 11/09/2009
(AP)
A seven year old boy was at the center of a Chicago courtroom drama today when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.
When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago Bears, who the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
