Sweet Mary's afterbirth, let me get this straight: You are Slog's resident sports commentator, but you didn't want to write about the Bears, lest you jinx them, even though you don't believe in jinxes? You Savages and your jinxes...can I just say that I am glad I grew up in that other bastion of Catholicism, Boston, and not Chicago, cause you all is craaazy.

@4 Actually, I had a really bad cold, very busy at work, and just didn't feel like it. But that's not dramatic enough for Slog.

@5 Not dramatic enough by half. Glad to see your inner Irish compelled you to think up a story, and like all good stories, it had Guinness in it.

I believe in football jinxes. In the Bears' game against the Eagles, I was watching from my house lounge. Since I was the only football fan watching, I went over to a neighboring house in the dorm and joined the group of fans there.
Now, the Bears had been carrying the game up until that point, but as soon as I went to the next house lounge over, they let up two big scoring drives, and were on their way to allowing a third. I returned to my own house lounge, upon which the Bears intercepted Michael Vick and marched down the field for a touchdown. I ran over to the other house lounge to tell them I could no longer watch with them...just in time to see the Bears ALMOST miss an extra point.

I wouldn't talk any smack if I were you either. The Packers are taking on the look of a team of destiny and have already steamrolled the best team in the NFC. Unless Aaron Rodgers hits his head on that cement-like turf of yours, you're in trouble.

@8: Every time since then, when I go to that house lounge while the Bears are playing, the Bears choke until I leave. If you'd seen what I'd seen...
@9: Aaand we trounced them in week 3, before our team had gotten its shit together. And our week 17 loss to them was when we had nothing to play for, and we held them to ten points. I can't say for certain which way the game will go, but the Bears are a strong team easily capable of lowering the boom on the Pack.

Since I'm in Queens this week nothing takes away the stale taste of a dead salmon half eaten by a bear like watching Mark Sanchez back up Rex Ryan's trash talk by demolishing the "inwincible" Tom Brady.

Pats stumbled around like big robots whose controller went haywire. Jets looking like the team to beat.

Go Queens. Go Joe Namath. Go San-CHEZ!

Pack 31, bears 21. But nice work on the Mars Cheese Castle reference, at least you know what you're talking about, unlike most of your ilk. BTW, had the cheddar guac fries at Muskies? They're the best!

So does this mean The Stranger will start offering Catholic/Mormon church members guess access to write articles when gay marriage becomes legal in all 50 states?

@10 Whatchutalkin'bout? If you had nothing to play for, why was Cutler in the game? Why'd you start your starters? A-rod's been playing playoff ball for 4 weeks now and he's on fire. You guys didn't want the Pack in the playoffs, but you couldn't close the deal, and now the Packers have been playing up to their potential after a mid-season, injury-caused slump.

You guys are scared, admit it.

PS - This is going to be the best game of the season. Not unlike the ALCS Red Sox-Yankees series. It'll eclipse the Super Bowl, at least in WI and IL.

@17: Why did we play our starters when we had nothing to play for? Because we're not pussies.
And we held the Packers, with whom you seem so enthused, to TEN POINTS. If we can do that again (and we can, trust me), we should be able to win.

Amen @11. Fuck you, Chicago fan. Fix your fucking field.

@19: The condition of the field had nothing to do with either head injury to the Seahawks. They took themselves out.

Chicago kicked our ass. That much is true.

We hurt two A-List starters. For that I blame gravity and the hard surface they landed on.

@19 -- If you have links to cool youTube videos of the hits, I'd love to see them. Nothing better than watching dudes hurt themselves!

@21: There are heating coils under the field to keep it from freezing into a rock, but the sidelines tend to freeze up. (That is standard.) John Carlson made a risky play, trying to hurdle a defender, and ended up hurting himself.
Marcus Trufant hurt himself diving headfirst at Kellen Davis's knees; his injury had nothing to do with the field conditions.
@22: Delivrared.
This highlights reel has footage of the Carlson injury, and here's the Trufant snafu.

Can we get a real Seattle Sports Fan, with a Stranger bent, posting regularly on SLOG - please??

Oh, I think Chicago Fan is about as Stranger bent as you can get...

I find it hard to root for the Bears because of Cutler. I hate the Steelers for the same reason.

Odd that Chicago fans fried Bradley for his blame-everyone-but-himself behavior, but they're fine with Cutler doing it.

I'm in Chicago but was cheering for the Seahawks, as what little football loyalties I have date back to my days in the NW. At this point, I'll probably have to jump on the bandwagon and cheer the Bears, though truth be told, I'll be far more interested in baseball spring training.

@ChiFan: Two words: Lacrosse Lager. Fine stuff, and way cheap. Kinda like the Wisc version of the Full Sail-brewed Henry's.

@18 - I'm actually a Vikes fan (GOD I'M SO SORRY) but I'm living in Wisconsin, so I basically have to root for the Pack or I'll be killed.

Regardless, I think it will be one of the best games of the season (unlike their first game, I hope - that was one of the worst games of football I've ever seen. Record-breaking numbers of penalties? Nasty.).

@Chicago Fan: I'm late to the party, as usual these days, but (since nobody else has commented on this) what are FIBS? Are they the same as FIBbers? Fucking Illinois Bastards? That was the term of endearment of my 'Sconnie friends used for those of us speeding our way from Chicago to Minneapolis on I-90/94 in the 1980s.
