January 12, 2019: One Way

posted in: Bears | 1

When it was 4th down, I told my son: if the Bears stop them here, the game is over. He asked what if they scored. I told him we’d still have a chance. They scored, and although I knew we had a chance, it would come down to a Parkey field goal. Ever since the 4 upright game, I told myself it wouldn’t come down to this. Before the game, my buddy sent out a text saying: I hope Parkey doesn’t F us. As the Bears got the ball back, I knew that would be the only way we’d be moving on; hey, he’d already made three of them.

As they lined up for the game winning kick, I asked my son, what should we do? Should we hold hands? Do you want to get on my shoulders? If the Bears make this kick, we win; if they don’t, we lose. We decided to sit on the couch together. I threw the Bears blanket over our heads. Then I pulled it back off. He told me, just let me watch Dad. I said OK, and put the blanket over my head. I’d never been one to do that…not watch a play because I was too worried. I wouldn’t have done it here either if he didn’t ask me to. I tried to listen to the broadcasters. My son said he made it…no, he didn’t. I pulled the blanket down and watched in complete shock how the Bears season ended.

After the game was over, I put the Bears blanket away. I grabbed my Bears ski caps and threw them in the wash. That was it; I couldn’t leave the Bears stuff out, or wear it around right now. It would be too painful. Walking around with that hat on my head, I might as well just walk around crying. As we got ready to go to work and school the next morning, my wife asked my son what hat he wanted to wear; his normal hat was in the wash. He didn’t want to wear his Turtles hat; he said he wanted to wear his Bears hat. He’s too young to feel this pain. Still, if he’s going to wear his Bears hat, I’m going to wear mine. Normally, I’d be on to the Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs hat, but I’ll roll with my boy. That was the one way I’d do it.

And so the week of mourning began. But it’s about time to move on. We started floor hockey on Saturday. We got back to couch football. I still won’t watch any more football, but seeing that the Colts and Cowboys lost made me feel better too; waiting for two more losses. I have to get back to blogging about the Bulls and Hawks again…that’s supposed to make me feel better? Baseball is right around the corner. Whatever… I think it’s time to take a break from the Bears for a minute, or maybe let’s turn this around a bit. Maybe it’s time to bring out the silver lining talk. I think I can. I think I can.

    1 stop away. But somehow I had a feeling they would score, just like I had a feeling that the Bears would put themselves in position to win the game. They did, and we all know what happened next. No way was I not going to watch that kick. Just have to see the action live…find out for myself. Definitely tough to wear the Bears gear after the season is over, especially the way it ended. Not that I am embarrassed or anything, more like I am angry and disappointed. The football season is technically not over so I’m sure some Bears gear will make it back on, especially for the Super Bowl. Time to move on is right, even though there is not much to move on to. We know how the Bulls and Bhawks are doing. Baseball is a month away. Oh well, wait until next season has set in, and I sure like the Bears chances of being back in the playoffs. BEAR DOWN!!!
