So I’m coming out.
No, I’m not a lesbian.
I’m coming out about liking other teams besides the Bears.
Shocking I know. Slap me, I’m prepared.
Let’s face it, Cutler may be a decent QB1 but he has an attitude.
When things do not go his way he throws a hissy fit.
He is not the most cooperative during post game interviews
I think I have seen him smile maybe twice.
Don’t get me wrong; the Bears are still my top priority
But they really are not as fun as they use to be
How often does Devin Hester run 94 yards and receive a touchdown on a punt return?
Not as much as he use to
How many yards does Matt Forte pick up per game?
Not as much as he use to
Johnny Knox is a breath of fresh air, and Robby Gould is easily the most consistent Bear
But besides them…I feel sort of empty watching the Chicago Bears
After the Bears play I am usually hungry for more football
Maybe my needs are not met
Now I know this is a sin with most football fans, but I thoroughly enjoy watching Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings
This is considered a sin because The Vikes are in the same division as da Bears
But come on Bears fans-
If you ignore the inconsistent mind games that Favre plays it is undeniable that he is a blast to watch
He always looks like he’s having a good time
He can throw a Hail Mary…successfully
And he is the only player in the NFL that has beat every single team at one time or another
Seriously-love him or hate him he deserves props
Quarter Back?
Check!
Not only is Favre fun to watch on the Vikings
But Jared Allen is a complete hoot to watch
The mullet? The sacks? The raw antics?
Amusing and talented at the same time
Defense?
Check!
Don’t forget Adrian Peterson, he can make something out of nothing
Also, rookie Percy Harvin is reminding me of Devin Hester two seasons ago
Good, Good, Great
Offense and Special Teams?
Check!
There is one last team that sparks my interest
The Denver Broncos
Maybe this is because I am rooting for Cutler and Kyle Orton to face their old teams in the Super bowl
Or maybe this is because I want Orton to show the Bears that trading him was the biggest mistake of their franchise
I love an underdog story, and the Broncos at 6-1 is definitely an underdog story
They don’t get a lot of respect in the media, which is annoying
But it all makes me root 10 times harder for Denver
And how about Josh McDaniels?
Isn’t he a raw ball of energy?
No matter what happens at the end of the season, I can say that I had fun following the journey of many teams
I also have a better chance that one of my many teams will be playing in February
