Yesterday Julie and I went to the Steelers – Bears game at Solider Field. This is our second time to Solider Field for an NFL Game, previously we saw the Bears – Saints in the middle of the winter. The weather was a little better but the on and off rain was not exactly fun.
Of course the Steelers losing didn’t really help the afternoon. This is the fourth time I’ve seen them in person and the third time I’ve seen them lose. We had a couple of real douchebags in front of us who were talking shit like Browns fans. In so much as they were referring to their ‘NFL Championships’ as if anything prior to 1960 really counts in the world of sports. Of course when I questioned this the guy asked me if the Yankees count thier World Series from before 1950, my response was twofold:
- Yes, they do count but only because they were still ‘World Series Championships’.
- When was the last Bears’ NFL Championship?
Of course there was no repsonse to my second point. I undrestand some teams have a several ‘championships’ and if you really want to pull out that argument agains a team that was one 6 SUPER BOWLS fine but be damn well ready to name those ‘NFL Championships’.
The rest of my photographs are here on Flickr.
*Side Note:
* For the record the Chicago Bears won ‘NFL Championships in 1921, 1932, 1933, 1940, 1941, 1943, 1946, 1963.
** Most game photos were taken by Julie.
*** Why is it that I can’t go to a Steelers game without seeing a Browns jersey. In Pittsburgh I saw a Chris Speilman jersey, in New York I saw a Jim Brown jersey and then in Chicago I probably see the worst one of all: Kellen Winslow. Honestly, with this jersey I’m not even sure who you’re trying to piss off.
**** Bears or Bengals?
***** Best game day attire ever. Period.
