Funny story...

I made a bet with my uncle at the beginning of the season taht the Super Bowl will be the bears vs. the Patriots.

How's that for a kick where it hurts? :o

I think this is going to be a close game, and the Bears are going to cover the points, or could win it alright. I think this game will be a defensive one, and definitely under the 49.5 points. I really think its going to be a field goal game, and how smart would the Colts look if Adam Vinatarri hits a long field goal to win the Super Bowl?

how smart would the Colts look if Adam Vinatarri hits a long field goal to win the Super Bowl?

How ironic would that be?

[umxca]

[RegisterRants]

I think that the Bears will win. By a lot. I'm not talking 2000-style Rams vs. Patriots. I'm talking an old-school BLOWOUT. :lol:

 

[umxca]

grossman over manning? :o

 

[AMDWarrior]

516 np$

on Da Bears :hehe:

defense is rock solid on the bears

our kicker is flawless

offense is solid

our quarterback is hit or miss, sometimes he's great and other times

so basically I have no clue, but hope that the bears can "FINISH"

if we do lose this game I can't think of a better coach to lose it to, Tony Dungy is a great coach and a great guy so the loss would not sting as much, I use to be a huge Bucs fan so another reason I like the guy, In conclusion GO BEARS. :kickass:
