Time To Bust Out The Christmas ‘Nog, Folks
I bet most of us felt like this fella after the Packers game.
I was a Lovie supporter after past seasons. I legitimately thought he was the right man for the job and Jerry Angelo was the problem. Now, both can go hop in a car to find a cliff as far as I’m concerned.
We all know to expect the delusional talk from Lovie’s pressers. After every week, I listen to Boers & Bernstein to listen to his shallow and drunken-monkey-esque comments about the Bears. But, he finally reached a level of stupidity that I can’t ignore.
Let’s play a game. Which of these quotes did Lovie Smith utter?
a) “As I look at our eight losses, three of them were legitimate losses. The other five, we were right there. We had opportunities.”
b) “No reason to think we can’t make (the playoffs in 2010)”
c) All of the above
Yeah. Don’t think about those quotes for too long, otherwise you’ll quickly go mad. And, of course, Lovie wants to play “the best possible options” which roughly translates into “Playing the backups? I want to keep my damn job!” A loss is a damn loss, Lovie. All of them are legitimate. Just because you got waxed in three of them doesn’t make them “legitimate.”
I’m not going to rehash what Shea and Matt have already eloquently stated about why Lovie needs to go. But, it’s starting to become clearer by the day that Lovie feels the heat.
I suppose it’s time for all of us to get Christmas drunk, because it’s been a damn disappointing season.
But wait….I can’t leave a post in such depressing spirits. So, I present this to you as you’re either sleepily getting ready for work or just sleepily getting up. It has nothing to do with football, but the Bears aren’t an inherently positive force, so deal with it. Randy Moller is the Florida Panthers play-by-play guy who uses pop culture references after a goal. Absolutely hilarious.
Moller’s calls are funnier than … the Panthers postseason aspirations the last five years? It’d be nice to see him throw in a popular Bears-related utterance, you know, like “you want to crown their ass?” or “Jay Cutler is a pussy.”
As if this season hasn’t been bad enough, guess where I get to spend Thursday evening? How about Jacksonville Municipal, where I get to watch that fucking mongoloid retard Manning embarrass the Jags secondary(M-O-O-N, that spells undefeated). Then I get to listen to my goddamn Colts-fan girlfriend rattle on about how great they are for the four hour ride home. Egg nog is nasty, but I’ve got two fifths of Cruzan and a 1.75 of Stoli that may get horribly abused when I get home. I can only hope Mr Gump meets with some kind of terrible wildlife accident while he’s down here, like a gator biting his stupid goddamn face off.
Completely off the subject, but since I’m venting, why is it that we (Florida) are the only state with it’s own native species of big cat, yet somehow Jacksonville gets dubbed the Jaguars while Carolina gets Panthers? Am I the only one who thinks that’s kind of backwards? Was having an alliterative team name really that important to the people of Jacksonville?
nice the stand reference jerbear
i wonder if lovie sits around with his bff staff and just laughs about the stupid shit they keep saying, i could see it now. laughing to the bank at least, durrr something about highway robbery.
Jer, you have quite the day/night planned when you get home. I’m rather jealous. I don’t envy you watching the game or listening to your girlfriend prattle on about how good Peyton Manning is (although, rumors are swirling in Indy that Tiger = Peyton). Deadspin ran a piece on it two days ago….pretty interesting.
As for the vent – I’m not quite sure. Since you’re our Florida (and tangentially, Tim Tebow) expert, I would ask for that answer from you. Speaking of His Holiness, how did people react to him not getting the Heisman, even though he wasn’t that good?
Reefer, I’m sure Jerry’s got a Lovie Smith funny file. Just a compilation of his latest (and dumbest) hits.
Sorry for your night, Jer. That really had to excited the missus, which I’m sure drove you straight to Stoli.
Most people don’t think it’s a big deal. Tebow had a good but not great season, and getting waxed by Alabama sealed the deal. And I have no knowledge of his tan genitals. Sorry.
Oh, and it was actually a really good game to watch. The Jacksonville fans are terrible though. It was like a social gathering that happened to have a football game in the background. All the season ticket holders were just wandering up and down the aisles, talking and carrying on, regardless of what was going on with the game (which wasn’t defense, I can assure you). I was told that was the only game they’ve sold out this year.
I don’t believe you. I think you know about his gentials and you’re just not telling us.
And, I figured since the game was so close, your better half would have been driving you nuts.
No, she was at least into the game. It was the ass-clowns making me get up to let them out of our row every ten minutes that were pissing me off.
