The Bears wasted three hours of my life again

So another Sunday has come and gone and what do I have to show for it?  Nothing. Nada, Zippo. Zilch. Again I wasted three plus hours of my life watching and rooting for the win that wasn't.  Three hours to watch them pass, mostly ineffectively against the worst passing defense in the league.  Three hours with only 15 runs. Three hours with 4 pics, one touchdown called back, one never given (thanks Lovie and your moron in the replay booth for not throwing the red flag) that resulted in a turnover... on the one yard line.  Three hours of them still not scoring in the 3rd quarter for the entire year.  Three hours of them playing so poorly and still had a chance to win.  Three hours of my dog being unsure if I was mad at her or not.  Three stinking hours that I'll never get back and what's worse is that I can not even bill the McCaskey's for my time.

 It reminds me of another promise of three hours of fun that turned out poorly for everyone involved.  It was called Gilligan's Island.  They were only meant to go out for a three hour tour and wound up endlessly stranded on "an uncharted desert isle."  The Bears are only going to Toronto in 2 weeks to play the winless Bills, so hopefully they'll get stuck at the boarder after handing the Bills their first win. Maybe we can bribe their boarder guards to detaining the offense and front office yokels.  Maybe send them off to Saskatchewan for the brutal winter... hum, just thinking. 

Here's a thought though.  With the NFL flex schedule at the end of the season, maybe we can petition for a late night game against the Packers to be played in Haiti.  Even if it's not OK'ed by the NFL we could always put the team on two planes. Defense/ Special teams can go to Green Bay, Offense to Port Au Prince.  If they get there, they can do penance by helping rebuild.  If they don't and wind up somewhere else... no loss.

Plus they have everyone they need to fill out the cast for a new Gilligan's Island. They'll just change it to "Jerry's Island," starring Lovie Smith as "The Skipper."  Jay Cutler as "Gilligan." Mike Martz as "the Professor."   Jerry Angelo and Ted Phillips as "Mr. and Mrs. Howell," (you pick who is Mr. and who is the Mrs.) Mike McCaskey as "Mary Ann" and Chris Williams as "Ginger.
