Super Bowl Media (Overkill) Week

>> Thursday

Ah, that wonderful time of year, when the NFL takes a week off before the Super Bowl, so we can get 13 days of straight mostly meaningless coverage of the big game, leading right up into the cherry on the sundae, the 19 hour pregame show.

While trying to avoid too much coverage of the Super Bowl (hard to do living in Chicago right now), I stumbled across This story in the Sun-Times. This, and a few other ones, were written about "true" Bears fans.

Before I go on, let me make one thing clear. I am not a Bears fan. I'm rooting for the Bears to win next weekend, because it's fun to pull for the local team when you have no true stake, but my NFL season pretty much ended when the Jets went down.

That being said, I know many who are Bears fans, and certainly "true" Bears fans. I find it highly condescending of the Sun-Times to single out a few hardcore fans and call them the "true" Bears fans. Maybe they won't go through crazy shennanigans to get to the big game, but any fan who's been pulling for this team all year long, but is content getting together with the buddies to watch the big game on TV is still, in my mind, a true fan.

At least if the lady gets her tickets, her kid can grow up knowing that he or she was sold out in the womb for Super Bowl tickets.

I had the opposite reaction. Suddenly I'm kind of disappointed in my mom for not selling "The Cubs will soar in '84!" on her me-caused pregnant stomach. I could be sitting on Cubs season tickets for life right now! And maybe Leon Durham would've shown up for my birth.
