DA BEARS!!

It’s the food, stupid!

Ok, I know this isn’t a sports blog, but come on—it’s the Super Bowl and it’s da Bears!

My prediction? Well, they say defense wins games…so Da Bears. But, Peyton is an amazing superstar…so the Colts. Both teams have good running games; two good coaches…a wash. But we can’t forget the Man who rode into town on a colt….and then there’s the fact that Colts are much faster than Bears, but if a Bear can catch a Colt it may well have a tasty dinner—but how often do ya hear of people eating Bear meat?

So….I think the most reliable suggestion I have heard is that it really comes down to two things: uniforms and food.

Here it’s really easy: Da Bears! They’ll be wearing their dark blue jerseys with matching helmets. Very intimidating.

Then there is the food: again, Da Bears! What is Chicago known for? Deep-dish pizza, what else. Now ask yourself: What food is Indianapolis known for? As a nonresident but repeat visitor, my answer would have probably have been the Pork Tenderloin sandwich. (I take mine deep fried, overflowing the bun by a good inch all the way around, with fries and a Dr. Pepper.) A more research minded friend, however, did a Google search on it and the number one response was White Castle hamburgers. Now I must confess to having enjoyed a “slider” or two (or six), but can you really compare them with deep-dish pizza? It just doesn’t compute.

So, if you need a prediction for how the big game should come out: Da Bears. If that isn’t sound enough reasoning, you’ll just have to watch the game for yourself. By the way, we’ll be in church during that time. We are studying the Book of Galatians on Sunday evening. That’s the best food being served for that time slot.

Maranatha!
