Well guys. This is the moment we've been waiting on for over 20 years. We've finally made it back to the Super Bowl. Words can't express how excited I am about this game. 
A few thoughts about this team and the experiences I've enjoyed this season:
Win or lose, this has been the most enjoyable season of football or sports I've experienced in my entire life. Since I was only 8 years old in 86, I really couldn't appreciate the game like I do now. I'm not from the Chicago area but I've been a fan since I was kid. The only other Bears fans I know are the guys from here, so this is usually the place where I come to celebrate with other Bears fans. I thank you all for that.
Call me delusional but I really feel like I'm a part of this team. As I'm sure most of you have, I've been exceedingly joyful and utterly dissappointed at various points during this season. At the beginning of the season, I was in disbelief at what was happening. I never thought we come out of the gate blowing everyone out. It was unreal. I was also in disbelief when Rex completely fell apart in the middle of the season. He played some of the worst games I can ever remember a qb ever playing during that stretch. I was sick. The thing that was great about that is we still managed to win most of those games. I knew that was a good sign because I believed Rex would turn it around. I'd never act like I knew more about football than anyone else, but I was a Rex supporter from the very beginning and never thought he should be benched. The way Lovie stayed behind him made me respect Lovie more than already did. What a coach and what a guy.
Here's another reason I have great respect for this guy. This may not matter that much to some but an interview I heard with Urlacher at the beginning of the week really stayed in my mind. When asked about Lovie, Urlacher stated he had never once heard Lovie say a curse word. Personally, I don't curse very much. However, when I'm watching Bears games, the expletives will often fly out quite a bit. To think that someone could be the actual coach of the team and not do it is amazing to me. I act like a complete fool in my living room during almost every game. My hat's off to the guy. He's a class act.
Another note on Lovie. I went to see a Bears game a few years ago in St. Louis with a friend of mine who is a Rams fan. Lovie was the defensive coordinator with the Rams at that time. My buddy would frequently stand outside of the stadium in St. Louis when he went to the game. I still remember standing outside when Lovie walked by us. My buddy say there's the man that brought the cover 2 to St. Louis. Lovie stopped and looked straight at us and said, "Now there's a man that knows football'. Then, he walked over and shook our hands. I couldn't help but think "wow, that was pretty cool". Of course, I never thought about him being the Bears head coach one day. I never forgot that moment though.
One last experience I'll share with you is the NFC championship game. I'd dreamed about going to Soldier field since I was a kid. I had always envisioned it being cold and snowing at the game I went to. That's just the way I wanted it to be. Well, this season was the first opportunity I'd had to go to a game and it happened to be the NFC championship game. And let me say, it was one of the most exciting moments of my entire life. Getting to be at Soldier Field and watch the game with so many other rabid Bears fans was an amazing experience. Add snow and a blowout to the game during the 2nd half and I couldn't have written it any better if I tried. I'll never forget it.
To conclude, lets savor every last moment Bears fans. We have no idea how long it'll be until this happens again. Thank you for this memorable season Chicago Bears. It's been a great ride.
ONE TIME
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.
Chicago Bears, Bear Down!

I'm a split Bears/Chargers fan due to my multi-city upbringing. I've been in a funk since the Chargers lost to the Pats but I woke up every day this week with a smile on my face. I'm proud as hell of this Bears team to have over come so many injuries and Rex's play various weeks to make it to the Super Bowl. I hope they have one more silver bullet left in the chamber today.
