"DA BEARS"

Let me tell you something. I have been a lover and a follower of sports my whole life. I have gone to professional baseball games, basketball games, football games, and many other sporting events. I have a "LOVE" for the game, but in my whole life, I have never seen "people" LOVE their sports teams more than the "people" of Chicago!!! It all started when we witnessed the Chicago White Sox win the "World Series" for the first time in like 80 years- This place was crazy!!! They had a parade downtown Chicago, and like 2 million people showed up just to catch a glimpse of "their" team! And you need to remember, the White Sox aren't the only Pro team here, there's also the Cubs, which basically divides all these people, you're either a White Sox fan, or you're a Cubbies fan! The reason I tell you that is, while the people of Chicago are divided on who they love in Baseball, there is no question who they ALL love for Football- DA BEARS!!!
And if you live under a rock, and haven't heard, The Bears are going to the Super Bowl, for the first time in like, 20 years! This place is again, CRAZY!!! It's the first, second, and third thing they talk about on the news!!! As a matter of fact, that's all anybody can talk about is "DA BEARS" You might also be wondering why I keep referring to them as "DA BEARS" Well, Saturday Night Live has many times done skits about Chicago. Sports teams, restaurants, etc...
They did a skit called "Da Super Fans Talk DA BEARS" They poke fun at the "Midwest" accent, and the Crazy love the people have for their sports teams, especially DA BEARS!!!
If you want to check it out, type in Da Bears, and then click on the SNL "Da Bears" it's very funny, and it's right on!!!

Anyway, Troy and Papa were in Indiana a couple of weeks ago, and while they were there, Papa bought Avery a Payton Manning football jersey. Well the Indianapolis Colts, beat "My Patriots" for the very Coveted spot in the Super Bowl! And now they are playing against "DA BEARS" So the other day we went to Costco, and Avery wore his "Manning" jersey! You should have seen the LOOKS we got! "People" could not believe we would dare put our child in the "Enemies" clothing, and walk around Chicago! This guy said to Troy, "Are you responsible for that?" referring to Avery's shirt! Seriously, it was funny!!! So we decided to teach Avery what to say to the "People" when they looked at him that way..............................................................................................................................................................

DA BEARS!!!! Which he says now ALL the time! The moral of this story is, when in Rome, pretend you love DA BEARS and all will be well!!!

GO BEARS!!!
