Bears Vs. The Vikings


Somewhere in time;
I will find you and haunt you again…”
The Haunting, by Kamelot, 2006 from Black Halo.

What a great game. Linae, a fellow educator and one of the best, is in the picture with me.

If the Bears can continue to win the games that they are not supposed to win, then we have a chance.

Linae and I have a soda bet each year for the Bear-Vikings games—she being from the great state of Minnesota. She lost yet another one—and as one can imagine, we split the bet per year.

I was impressed with Grossman for the second half of the fourth quarter—the first play, remember, he threw an errant pass to a Viking corner who ran it in.

But the last series, Grossman looked great. The much vaulted Bears Defense looked equally up to the task, allowing no touchdowns.

Once again, the Bears spread the ball around. It was a good Division victory for a great team. I see shades of 1985—having owned all of the games on DVD from a wonderous eBay seller.

I have a bet with my beer-drinking-each-Tuesday Uncle Dan. I say not only will the Bears win the NFC North, but the first game of the playoffs they play. He is confident that they will not win a game beyond the Division title game, as am I that they will. We bet a six pack of the other’s choice of beverage. I am open for suggestions.

Thanks Linae for posing with me on team day at our school for HOMECOMING WEEK. You are truly one of the best educators it has ever been my honor to teach with!

Remember, Linae, Diet Mountain Dew!

Eric:

Nice shirt. Looks like mine.

Yesss, now that the Cubs are toast (no surprise there), thank goodness we have the Bears.

Lou--just another working stiff for a while.
