Having been inundated by local and national media about the "so-so" NFC Champions, the Chicago Bears, and represenative to Super Bowl XLI, allow me to take a dig at the Brett Favres of the world, the Green Bay Packers, and all football teams that think they instead should be in Miami for the Big Dance!
An unsolicited e-mail:
"QB Brett Favre, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God started showing him around. They came to a modest little house that needed some repair with an old, faded Packers flag in one small window:
"'This house is yours for eternity, Brett,' said God, 'this is very special; not everyone gets a house up here!'
"Brett felt special indeed and walked up to his new home. On his way up to the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three-story mansion with a blue and orange sidewalk, blue and orange roof, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Bears flag, the lawn manicured in the shape of the Bears logo, and in every single window, a blue helmet with a "C" on it!
"Brett look at God and said: 'Lord, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question? I was an All-Pro Quarterback, I won a Super Bowl, I hold numerous records, played for umpteen years, and, of course, made it to the Hall of Fame!'
"God said: 'So what do you want to know, Brett?' 'Well, why does Walter Payton get a better house than me?'
"God chuckled and said: 'Brett, that house is mine!'"
GO, BEARS ! ! !
