Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your host John Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form, maybe say

Requiem for the Bears — A 2023 Musical Season to Date Retrospective

BrettFavresColonoscopy - November 15, 2023November 15, 2023

The Bears Bye Week isn't until Week 13 this year, which seems almost cruel given how much Bearsenscheisse we've witnessed this season (both the self inflicted and cruel twists of injury fate kind). So why not recap the year to date in song. Maybe get in the right mood/cadence with

Banner photo from here. 3 posts from me in one week? You're fucking welcome. What's that? You have a complaint? What do you mean the NFL season has already started and this preview is late? The Bears haven't started their season yet, have they? So then it isn't late. Suck it. Anyway,

Cheers to the Centenarian Club!

Interior, a sitting room decorated like your grandmother's living room in 1989 (except no plastic covers on the couch). Orange and blue crepe paper streamers and similar regalia are scattered across the room, and two men are hanging up additional decorations. Guy 1: So...what's the haps? Guy 2: We're celebrating the old

Honestly, I thought about having the whole post be the banner image/gif. Then I thought about bringing back my other kind of bear gimmick (not that one). Then I took a nap. Then I decided I would just say the following: We knew this team would suck. In the season preview,

Banner Photo Credit: DrawPlayDave Yes, I know the season is well underway, but hey, I didn't post last year's preview until the Bears' bye week, so let's call this a win. I guess we can start with this season's most famous Bears fan, this guy who is probably single now-- https://twitter.com/SuperBookUnit/status/1571953208767160323?s=20&t=R4nosHifaZXjthbw_aRIhA Look, I don't

Scene: Interior Halas Hall. The entire Bears brain trust [sic] sits around a mahogany table talking about the current roster, coaching staff, and other personnel. SO HOW DO WE THINK THE TEAM IS LOOKING THIS YEAR? Better than my face? Look, I'll bet my job that we can be competitive, even while

It was a cold night. Not historically cold or even stereotypically cold given how goddamn freezing it can get around these parts but just objectively and objectionably cold. I hate it when people dismiss temperatures in the 20s (that's Fahrenheit, obviously) as "not that bad"--Fuck you, when condensation chills to

As I write this, the Bears have just finished choking away a game in London, like Theresa May but with none of the charm. They only had a lead at all due to a fantastic second half comeback, and then the last few drives were marred by incompetence and malfeasance,

Awesome Photoshop courtesy of Low Commander of the Super Soldiers Ah, the NFL offseason, always filled with optimism, Dan Snyderschadenfraude, and this year, a veritable Who's That? of placekickers taking a ride on the Chicago Bears carousel. Do you remember how last season ended? I wonder if anyone in Chicago has? Let's take a

NFL Playoff Preview–Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles

BrettFavresColonoscopy - January 4, 2019January 3, 2019

With the NFL Playoffs drawing nigh, I wanted to take a real quick look at the Bears-Eagles playoff matchup to see how it shapes up. With the Bears coming off a 5-11 record the previous season, being a home favorite for this game is a great reward for a huge

Photo Credit: Some Weird Youtube Video with Adrian Amos Every year of my football-watching life, the off-season has been a giant slog punctuated by tiny dopamine hits along the otherwise slow, cruel, and seemingly endless march to opening kickoff. As soon as the Super Bowl was over, I craved football's return.
