Nati: Good Luck Charm, or Great Luck Charm?
Chicagoans have the same understanding of sports that a retarded Canadian has of global warming. All I've been hearing up here for the past two weeks is how the Bears were going to choke, how this 13-3 team was the underdog for today's NFC championship game. Now, after Rex "Good Decisions" Grossman has led them to a 25-point victory over a strong New Orleans team, I'm certain they will be considered the underdog for Super Bowl XLI.
This coming from the same people who could care less that the White Sox won the World Series two years ago and who believe every year that the Cubs, the worst team in all of sports in all of history, will somehow take the World Series crown this year. Chicagoans have an underdog/victimhood complex eclipsed only by feminists and maybe orphans. A sign on a building visible from inside Wrigley Field reads "Eamus Catuli," presumably Latin for "Let's go, Cubs!" but in actuality meaning something more like "Let's get out of here, little whelps!"
Well, unfortunately for these fans (and fortunately for Bear fans who aren't morons), I'm here. In my short lifetime, I've been noticing a space-time phenomenon I call the "Nati factor:" my presence in a city alone is enough to boost the luck of normally loser sports teams. A brief list of my accomplishments:
Cincinnati (1978-1996): Reds win World Series (1990), Bengals make both of their Super Bowl appearances in history (1982 and 1989).
St. Louis (1996-2000): Rams win their only national championship (2000).
Chicago (2000-20007): White Sox win World Series for the first time in 88 years (2005), Bears make it to Super Bowl (2007), even the Cubs make 2 postseason appearances (2000 and 2005).
So worry not, Chicago, the Bears will win, because I'm standing here in the city limits, and will be here two weeks from today. And, even if they don't, we can rejoice on one obvious fact: the Super Bowl will not be won by a team who made a pact with Satan...unlike last year.

It looks like the Saints were "cannonized" by the Sex Cannon himself...

I still don't understand how the Bears could have been considered the underdog in that game. The game was at soldier field in Chicago, during freezing temperatures. Moreover, it started to sleet and snow during the 2nd half, and of course, the inevitable happened. Southern and indoor teams do not have a good track record while playing under such conditions. Combine this with the fact that the Saints were playing on the road, I think the odds were stacked against them.
As far as the Super Bowl is concerned, I'm not exactly sure who is my favorite. The issue now is that Tank Johnson might not be able to play in the Superbowl, leaving the Bears with two missing DEs, rather than just one. Peyton Manning got the shit beaten out of him against the Patriots. However, his o-line will have an easier time against the Bears if they're missing Tank Johnson. They'll be able to keep an eye on Brian Urlacher better. I still think Manning will get the snot beaten out of him since his o-line sucks, but Indianapolis is the favorite IMHO if Tank Johnson can't fly down to Miami.
Dude, looks like your luck just ran out.
