Bears4- great post and agree with ya. We've had loads of optimism for ages now and nothing ever comes of it. It is definately drying me up. I'm not nearly as into the Bears as I used to be. It really sucks because I like football but when this stupid team just keeps doing the dumbest crap year after year it wears on ya. Decades of this is just too much. I'm not a Cubs fan with eternal patience. It's either time to get the thing figured out or cut bait and I'm about at the cut bait stage....
