Silver Lining

If there’s a silver lining in the clouds for Bears fans, it’s the possibility that Peyton Manning commercials might dimmer down a bit.  Apart from that, there isn’t much to be cheerful about if you’re a Bears fan.  It’s probably freezing where you are, and you invested way too aggressively in things that shouldn’t be blue and orange.


In a couple of weeks you’ll unceremoniously deflate your chair and get back to the Bears Homepage, and things might get a little better- and not because the Bears Homepage is the name of a Chicago tavern.  You’ll realize that for the most part, the team will remain in tact and that very little has to be done over the off-season to get right back into the Big Game. 

The only Bear that might miss out on the eighth and most satisfyingly awesome stage of grief, the Acceptance and Contrivance of Quipy Retorts to Colts Fans, is Rex Grossman.

    
After Sunday, you can be sure that Grossman will probably be paid like he threw…under.  The only thing that ended up over anybody’s head Sunday was a huge question mark over Grossman’s. 

That, and a few jokes said in the presence of Shannon Sharpe.  

He seems to have the trust of Head Coach Smith and the Bears front office, but his position is likely to be held teasingly over the hungry baby bird mouths of Brian Griese and Kyle Orton before next season.
