Well, some are calling it an ugly win and some are saying we simply beat a bad team. I really don't care. We won. We're 4-1 and we lead the north. But enough about the game. I have an issue and I need your help. So read on for the best of your in game comments, the academy award winners, and my enormous conundrum after the jump.
A "buddy" of mine recently sent me this "gift". It is an officially licensed NFL product. How? And more importantly why? I'm not sure what to do with it. Clearly it is about as close as you can get to some novelty item like officially licensed team tampons or something but it is Bears merchandise so I can't just burn it or throw it away. I'm not against merchandise geared toward the female fans but this is just plain ugly. It's a freaking handbag!! May as well throw on a bunch of sequins and a flashy light. Not even a decent purse, which would still be bad, yet acceptable. Clearly no self respecting Bears fan, male or female, should even acknowledge that such a thing exists and it might even be blasphemous posting it here but I just had to share this. Apparently my "friend" has a great sense of humor. He has trapped me with this thing and I'm not sure what to do now. My wife said she'd take it to the Bears game when we go in December and I told her if she did it would be a long walk back to Iowa. I just thought I'd get your thoughts on this officially licensed thing. But enough of this crap, let's read some of your crap in this edition of the best of the in game thread.
We start our evening with this strange exchange...
Doshi: Wow, where'd that hole come from? Can somebody plz plug stuff?
Maelvampyre: I can't see the game yet but reading these posts sounds like my honeymoon night
Spongie: Does this go as far as "Chris Harris laying the wood" ?
Maelvampyre: lol yeah cause the game download keeps hanging up for me lol
Later we get...
DaHamsta: 11 in the box.
David Taylor: Maelvampyre not this one I hope
I think we all can agree with this....
chi_til_eye_die: wow can we play carolina 10 more times???
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
Allie: Reports of Forte's awfulness may just be overstated. Woah.
Way to jinx it guys......
CloudyFuture: All I can say is START TODD COLLINS!! Been awesome Has not thrown an incomplete pass yet!
David Taylor: so... does Collins have a perfect passer rating through two series?
Allie: Turner would stop trying now and let the defense win the game.
Is there a woman on WCG who isn't hot for Peppers?
Doshi: Pep is a man's man.
awfullyquiet: Ladies man too. What can you say about a man with nice hands?
For a running theme
Johnathan Thompson: Looks like I won’t be punting squirrels today
On our illustrious challenge calls...
Trey23: do the bears not have eyes in the booth Or i s lovie just an idjit?
Spongie: Tom Cable reminds me of the trolls in the Lord of the Rings films.
Foreshadowing.....
Allie: I'm just proud Lovie didn't call a TO before throwing the flag. Very small (if any) progress is about all expect.
Prophecy....
Trey23: FOX Called timeout and then threw the flag! Haha
suckmyditka: what a gosh darned
fool(edit) Lovie
Foreshadowing.....
Kev H: Alright. So..is that enough to get Collins out?
Prophecy.....
CloudyFuture: Think it will take 2 more IMO…..
Johnathan Thompson: INT Yes I can punt rodents now
Maelvampyre: sad when I have to wear reading glasses to see a flipping (edit) Bears game …on the laptop computer!
Arbusto: If I want bad decision making I think we could have kept Grossman.
True, true....
ifuwannacrownem: no way can hanie play worse
LightsOutVegas: maybe if he lost the use of his arms
Interstranging....
borikua: Small hands?
Johnathan Thompson: It's ok I can hold it for you
Maelvampyre: thats what she said
I'm waiting for the story behind this....
Maelvampyre: dang (edit) dog is killing the neibhors cat gotta run be back asap
Cosmis: Todd Collins is like Cutler mixed with Favre combined with excrement (edit).
Dakoose: Remember one game last year when lovie abandoned a successful running game because he said the other team would eventually adapt and stop it? That ridicilous (edit) logic is back.
Witty....
MPG: That was on Collins
Johnathan Thompson: I heard his Nursing home is looking for him
Basketball Smurf: he is the 3rd best QB in the nursing home Bears didn’t want to pay the other 2
62bearsthebest: we can start calling Lovie "dumb as a box of fox's"
You know its bad when you get.....
louslovechild: I miss Craig Krenzell
Great question, someone smart find the answer please...
BearingDown21: Is this game the most times a Martz Offense has run the ball? Just Wondering.
The plot of the story thickens
Maelvampyre: Allie the voice of reason. Thanks for that calming effect. I just cleaned up a dead cat and it involved the use of a bucket and mop.
Collins or Clausen? Cause ya know, either way.....
Cosmis: I'm so glad we have this bumbling clusterpoop (edit) of a quarterback playing today.
suckmyditka: Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan Make a cute couple <3
Clever and pithy....
Arbusto: Alright, let's get some turnovers!
Juperee: Apple for me, please.
I'll bet Cameron would have played about the same but.....
Cosmis: Collins reminds me of Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s day off. Physically, at least.
And now the Academy Award Winners.....
This is epic... Best conversation of the night....
Allie: Sometimes I wish SBNation had the word substitution like Fark does. That way every time someoene said Hanie it’d change to something like "boobies" or "shite". Because its starting to get on my nerves.
Arbusto: I'd agree with statements like "Boobies now!" "Bring in boobies!" "The crowd wants boobies!"
Spongie: But not "The crowd wants shite!"
Arbusto: I dunno Poop is always funny.
Allie: not when its wearing a Bears uniform
Arbusto: Do you think anybody would want to tackle A giant running turd? See, that’s funny.
Spongie: So that explains Benson’s breakout season last year.
For sheer randomness and what sound like the beginning of a joke
Juperee: I had a pet rat named Pickles when I was in college. She would crawl into one of the clear hamster tubes and just stay there, so she looked like a pickled rat.
This one made me spit out my beer.... For most painful edit.....
Doshi: Cut Brandon Manufudgehesux. (edit)
For best speculative sarcastic conversation we have.....
Cosmis: "So, Mike?" "How hard should I suck here? Should I overthrow it or just dispense with the suspense and throw a pick 6? How many times should I get sacked on this play? I really need some guidance here, man, I don’t know how to approach this."
For best movie reference in reference to Collins QB rating...
tfrabotta: Mr. Blutarsky...0.0
Comment of the night...
T-Train: Of course Hester dropped it....... Nobody told him that Collins had started throwing to his own teammates yet.
On a serious note, and damn I hate doing this in a post I love to have fun with, but we had an argument break out over appropriate commentary for the in game thread. This is my take and should not be confused with any official WCG stance. The in game thread is kind of a free for all of reactions to the game play. Sometimes people say something stupid or offensive. I myself have been called out for crossing the line. What I think we all need to keep in mind is that what gets said here gets said in the heat of the moment. Wishing harm on players or coaches can be sarcastic and satyrical or it can be something stupidly uttered in an emotional moment. I'm in no way condoning people making ridiculous utterances but some of those utterances wind up here because, dang you guys are funny when you get all worked up. I think we all need to show some more tolerance in the "open" threads and if someone's being an idiot, flag em or ignore em. Don't let it ruin your involvement in the in game threads though, this crap is too good to ignore..... Thanks for playing again guys. Join me again next week for some more... Oh and what about that dang handbag.....

So, I'm either the straight man in a comedy gag...
…or I’m unintentionally funny like a Star Trek nerd.
Either way, I’ll take it :-)
I have no issues with swearing or other "venting" type comments.
I didn’t lecture or go off. I flagged what I thought needed flagging and then when it started to get to be too much; I left.
And I kinda like the purse. I wouldn’t ever buy one (I rarely carry a purse anyway) but I’ve definitely seen uglier handbags.

Sorry
Please don’t feel like this was directed at you. The thread just kind of exploded into a debate on the issues and I wanted to respond to everyone in general. Plus these game threads are kinda like my children within the WCG family….
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
It's been too preachy lately.
And I know that I’m one of the main people in the pulpit. But, in my opinion, we should start showing a little more class. My coach used to tell us to always “act like we’ve been there before”. We win a few games, and some of the comments, game-thread or not, have just been childish and/or uncalled for.
I’m not expecting everything to be puppies and rainbows, but merely asking people to think about how they’d view that comment, on the Norsemen or at APC, if it was directed at us/ or one of our players. That’s all.

I don't think that's entirely true anymore
"How do you know somebody is great? When you see how they respond to adversity. Anybody can man a ship when the waters are calm." - Jerry Angelo
true, my wife told me that the other day
"I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official." - Francis Wolcott
Very true
I’m not sure where that attitude’s come from. The reason I gravitated here instead of the other dozens of Bears blogs is because the meatheads were low in number and easy to ignore (well, mostly).
It wasn’t even the Collins crap that really got me, though. It was the guy daydreaming about braining Coach Smith with a baseball bat followed by people rec’ing the comment. I mean…. ask for the guy to be fired (Lord knows I have!) but to wish death/mortal injury on someone just because you don’t approve of the job he does? Gag.

Just outta curiosity...
How about wishing injury upon Childress before he lures another child into the back of his unmarked van?
When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.
Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.

I kinda hope not...
As much as I hate the Queens, I also LOVE to HATE them. Is that weird?
The Queens, Slackers, and Bears have been divisional and area rivals for as long as the NFL has been around. Longer, in the case of the Bears and Slack. There are no three teams in any sport that have the rivalry between them that the NFC North has always had. Bears fans hate both the Slack and the Queen, and we LOVE hating them! And I KNOW that both Slack fans and Queen fans feel the same way about the other two teams.
Bears Fans to keep the Queens in Minny? I’d sign that petition. Bears without Queen makes for a dull season.
I think a stadium bill will pass in the end.
The problem is, this is a gubernatorial election year for us up here, and neither the DFL (that’s Democrat Farmor-Labor for you normal staters) nor the GOP candidate wants to be seen as raising taxes to benefit a special group, so they both say “no way!” right now.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t. I’m just saying, they’re not touching it with a 10-foot pole one month prior to election, but once it’s over, I think it will pass. Most polls show the pro-stadium/anti-stadium crowds are about evenly split between parties, and there have been some good proposals that target mostly fans, not some random old football-hating lady living in Duluth.
The success of the new baseball stadium has persuaded some stubborn hold outs too.
I need a new signature.
On the injury front...
Star-Trib is reporting that Cedric Griffin is out for the year after the injury suffered last night.
Sucks man, you’ll get a rookie in his place. Injuries can bite anytime, they’re never good times.
This whole “smack talk” thing was new to me last season, which was when I joined WCG and had to put up with Packers fans Vikings fans retards coming over to stir it up. Definitely appreciate it that we don’t degenerate into the likes of Yahoo threads.
Having said that, I come from a rugby background and one time when I took a (soccer-fan) friend to watch her first ever rugby match, she asked why we were applauding the opposition when they scored yet another try against us (we got hammered something like 55-20 that day, ouch). “It was a good try,” I pointed out – it’s just part of rugby culture to be able to appreciate good play, even when it’s against you. I would hate to see WCG devolve into (or be seen to devolve into) the kind of lack of class that we see at certain other sites.

Are you sure it's a purse?
It’s butt-ugly. Kind of looks like a bowling shoe masquerading as a purse. Technically, it’s Bears colors, but Bleah.
It doesn’t work because it’s attempting to be somewhat dressy. And the strap attachment patches look like sad panda eyes.
No me gusta!

I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
I admit I have a Bears purse
Mine is a small one made of jersey material with BEARS on one side and the embroidered C on the other. I carried it at Soldier field (what can I say—it matched my jersey) and have carried it on game days at sports bars, largely to piss off local Vikes fans.
I also have a Bears hard hat and tool bag (both officially licensed). Does that offset the purse thing?
I like all kinds of not-football stuff to be NFL licensed and emblazoned with team colors. I just hate adding substituting pink and frills and sequins in there. Yech. Thing is, when I catch a glimpse of the colors or the symbols, I automatically turn my head and think “Was that a Bears item I just saw?” And if so, it had better really be in Bears colors and not frilly and most certainly not be a vegetarian cookbook.
So I guess I’d say, put NFL licensed stuff on anything at all, as long as it’s true team colors and is not incompatible with the spirit of the noble sport of football.
I need a new signature.
Here's mine
I tell myself it’s more acceptable somehow. A matter of personal taste, I guess.
I need a new signature.
Even I like yours better.
I’d be proud for my wife to carry that to Soldier Field. And for everyone else, no, a bolwing ball would not fit into the bag. You’d barely get shoes in there. This has the makings of (forgive the vernacular) a hooker purse.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Amen.
We have the exact same taste. Haha. Here is my Bears purse:
It’s simple, has the team colors, but isn’t really frilly.

I guess I agree and disagree to some extent
The game thread is an emotional outlet as alot of bleed for the bears and when they win it is euphoria and they lose it physically makes you ill. I think everyone knows that there can be some inappropriate material, language etc on these game threads which are not present on all the other threads. As long as there are no personal attacks on others within the thread then everyone I guess should feel free to express themselves how they choose. Some comments may not be okay for everyone but we can always move forward and not read them. I would guess that 95% percent of this is in good fun for the most part and most everyone means well but as someone said it can get emotionally charged so we need to take with a grain of salt at times. Just my 2 cents.
I am sure spongie will crucify me gramatically somewhere…

It’s the one with the Bear head and a big C,as in Chicago.
note about the cat during the Bears game
I have an Alaskan Malamute. He’s a big dog, about 130 lbs. He has been feuding with the neighbor’s cat. The feud is over. To be fair, the cat came into his (walled in – 7 ft high) yard so it wasn’t like the dog was running loose. I had to explain to the neighbor (a comely 20-something lass) why it would be a good idea if I didn’t show her “Puff’s” corpse. Sorry I missed a good chunk of the game.

I'd say Puff's got what was coming to it.
You know I never understood why people get all pissed about dogs being on the loose but not as much about cats just doing whatever they want. If you don’t mind Maelvampyre can I borrow your dog, somebodies cat on the block is living on my deck and I don’t have a dog anymore to “teach” it a lesson. To be fair if it was a dog I’d want it out of my yard as well. All I’m saying is before the cat lovers rip me a new one is, that if it’s your animal, it shouldn’t be in my yard or near my kid.

Shenanigans!! Bullocks!!!
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
I would go as far as to say that it was a hullabaloo
and I intend to actually make it to one soon

speaking of purchases...
You have enough money for one jersey. Do you buy the 1940’s retro throwback, or our general navy home jersey?

Retro, for sure.......
Customized with Nagurski would be my choice, but any will do.

I'm not going to further comment on the.....
argument from the threads. I said my piece. Besides, I don’t like fighting with my favorite Photoshopin’ Cheeky Monky AKA Smudgers. I had a sad over that :(

See why he's the best and has his own hype man?
He’s a man of the people, even the people he disagrees with. His skills are so dominant that you fear upsetting him due to the fact he could with hold his brillance from you and make you sad….
I’m starting to feel like he may not need me anymore, that he may have gone to Epic status and doesn’t require a hypeman beacause all who bask in work are doing the job for him, negating a need for little ol me….

That sir, is no purse.
It is in fact a Trojan Fecal Dispensing device. Designed for use on opposing fans.
You fill the devise with fecal matter and hurl in the general vicinity of offending Packers/Vikings or (Insert Opponents fan :HERE). For best results add combustible fluids and ignite prior to jettison.
If you don't ask, you don't get. So get on with it already.

My comment's explanation:
Dakoose: Remember one game last year when lovie abandoned a successful running game because he said the other team would eventually adapt and stop it? That ridicilous (edit) logic is back.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there was a game either last year or the year before where the Bears were having success running the football in the early portion of the game and then suddenly abandoned the run. When asked in the post-game presser as to why the team stopped running the ball, Lovie gave an answer along the lines of “we anticipated they would adjust we decided to go to the passing game.” I can’t be the only one that remembers it. That comment got Bernstein reaaaaaal worked up.
Seattle last year
thats why we needed Jay’s magic comeback.
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. -George Halas
