Not sure if you noticed or not, but last night, in front of a national audience, the Bears managed to not only not suck, but they won. This really happened. It’s still sort of unbelievable. Because of that unexpected success — and the unfortunate prospect, given the circumstances, that it might not happen again for a little while – the Bears are in full-on celebratory mode . And I love it:

INDIANAPOLIS - Adewale Ogunleye glared at a reporter, then shouted, “Y’all didn’t give us a chance,” as he entered the locker room Sunday. He made his point loud and clear, particularly on the field. “Today you could see how confused Peyton was,” Ogunleye said. “He didn’t know what the hell was going on.”

Suck on that, haters! Sure, I was one of them, but that’s what’s so great about football — now I can pretend I believed the Bears would shock the world from day one! None of you guys gave us a chance, but I believed, man! I believed!

Of course, it took a Colts offense that had yet to play a single snap with their Hall of Fame quarterback and a Colts defense that refused, no matter what the down or situation, to keep their defensive ends from over-rushing up the field, but I will take it. I’m sure the Bears will, too.
