The Blue & Orange Kool-Aid Report
By Eric Emery
In past few weeks, more than one friend has said to me, "It must be fun writing the Kool-Aid Report this year."
Actually, it's not that much fun.
It's more fun when the Bears get dominated in a Super Bowl or they crap themselves in Week 17 and miss the playoffs. It doesn't feel rewarding to make fun of a team this close to hitting rock bottom.
And if the Bears lose to the Rams this week, rock bottom will be reached. Even I don't think the Bears are that bad. But even if they beat the Rams keep your eyes out for these other signs that rock bottom has been found.
* The Detroit Lions send the Bears a "Get Well Soon" card.
* Obama sends 30,000 troops to Soldier Field to help the Bears out.
* The Bears hire Elin Nordegren to pull a Jeff Gilloly on the opposing team's quarterback.
* Mayor Daley repurposes Meigs Field bulldozers to raze Soldier Field to make way for a casino.
* Chicago loses the Bears to Rio.
* Chicago Cubs ownership provides some unsolicited advice, stating "The secret is to be lovable when you lose."
* Halas Hall renamed "Willis Hall."
