The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the Christmas weekend.

Being Christmas Eve, it’s only right that we stay true to the holiday spirit. That, and the fact that absolutely nothing is happening in Bears world, is why we bring you the proverbial Bears, Jib Jab, YouTube video courtesy of user, “sonofmabarker.” Except … there’s a twist.

“Sonofmabarker”, in a brazen unfurl of versatility, created two vids, of which I could not choose from. Do I want to go with the gay disco party or the awkward hip hop routine? How can I decide this!

This is when I decided that I could trust you, oh treasured reader, to choose the better dance. Think of it as an America’s Best Dance Crew for big-headed cartoon elves with striking resemblances to some of your favorite Bears.

The last post of the week is coming a day early, obviously, because of Christmas tomorrow. This was originally going to be centered around yesterday’s NFL Live, in when discussing the NFC playoff scenario, listed the Bears, at 5-9, as one of the teams “in the hunt.” … Swear. So, here’s what happened:

I didn’t react fast enough to get the screenshot at first (Oh how I wait for the day when I’m not resigned to taking photographs of my TV or computer. They should really invent something for that). It was about 20 minutes into the first airing at 3 p.m, so I tell myself, “this is kind of funny; I should put it up tomorrow”, and I look for repeat times.

As it would be, the one time that isn’t 4:30 in the morning happens to conflict with when I’ll be at the Navy Pier IMAX watching Avatar (awesome movie-going experience, by the way). I have a decision to make: Do I wake up early, stay up late, or let it go and deny you visual evidence of the most ridiculous notion since the presence of an editor on NFL Quick Hitters? I decide, with nothing to do today, to stay up late.

It’s roughly 4:51 a.m.; I’m sleepy as fuck, but it’s just around the corner. Just one more amicable quip by Suzy Kolber and we are golden … Brett Favre hates Brad Childress for not letting him just be a kid out there … NFC teams … AND … er, what? WHAT? WHAT. THE. FUCK! NFL Live has amended it’s erroneous ways and the Giants, at 8-6, are now the last team labeled to be “in the hunt.” SHIT!

Sadly, it’s now no more than a myth or legend. But, I swear I saw it. And it was beautiful. And for just one moment, we all were free.

We’ll be hosting a game thread for the Vikings Monday nighter, so you’ll want to participate … you know, if you’re cool. I won’t be back until Monday, short of some major news going down. Who really knows what the other three might have in store, but I’ll go out on a limb and assume that they’d rather get drunk with the families they can’t stand then write about the team … they can’t stand.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Good Kwanza, or whatever else, to you all. Now, go drink.
