    As a Chicago sports fan, I am embarrassed that this article did not mention Bartman.  WTF

     Also, how bout mentioning being up 7-0 in the Super Bowl, intercepting a Peyton Manning pass, and still losing the game????

    First of all, the tragic collapse in 2003 was the bad thing, not some poor guy who has become the scapegoat. 

    Second, the 2006 season was a wild success.  The Bears were huge underdogs in that Super Bowl and the fact that they even got there was amazing.  They didn't choke or do anything to embarass us Chicago fans.  They just got beat fair and square.
