Revenge?

Or maybe Redemption?

Either way you look at it, today is a HUGE day for me.

As many of you know, I'm a die-hard Chicago Bears fan. As such, I'm currently in the midst of a 21-year grudge against the Miami Dolphins. Why, you ask?

Well, back in 1985, the Bears - then known as "The Monsters of the Midway," - led by Jim McMahon, "Sweetness" Walter Payton, and the toughest Defense ever to play the game - were having their best season - EVER. They were undefeated, and knocking out teams, left and right. There was no stopping Chicago. Then, one fateful Monday night - December 2, 1985 to be exact - on national TV, the Bears were set up to play against the team that had the only undefeated season in history - The Miami Dolphins - a team that had to defend that record.

I won't get into details on the horror that happened that night - let's just say the end result did not favor Da Bears.

Fucking Dan Marino.

Ever since then, not only have I been the Bears fan that I was, but it was one of goals, as a sports fan, to hate the Dolphins - forever! In fact, it's well known by my friends that my three favorite football teams are Da Bears, and whoever is playing the Dolphins and Packers.

So, here we are today. The Bears are facing the Dolphins, in Chicago. Guess what? The Bears are UNDEFEATED!

I've agreed with my friends that if the Bears win today (they are the 13½ point favorites), I will alleviate my grudge against the Dolphins. I can't say that I'll like the Dolphins - I just won't hate on them so much. In turn, if the Dolphins win, it'll only get worse. (And, God forbid the Fins win, I'll put the "Dolphin Fight Song" up here on the site.)

Anyways, if you care for more info on the game, or just want to know more about Da Bears in general, click here:
