Super Bowl Post Mortem

Once upon a time two of the three guys from Chicago were walking down a dark street late on a Saturday night. We were about 13. One of our Dads was walking some distance behind us. A group of kids a little older than us was walking the opposite direction on the other side of the street. Something was said. Something was replied. Then a taunt. Then a threat.
Then the Dad walked up right behind us, knocked us both on the heads, and told us to shut up and keep walking. When we got to the car, he said, "I don't care how tough you think you are. Remember this--there is always someone in the world tougher".
That's the lesson the Bears learned.
Life goes on.

p.s. Answer to the previous Trivia question. The Bear players in the picture, are, from left to right, quarterbacks George Blanda, Ed Brown and Zeke Bratkowski. Blanda is the most famous, largely for playing competitively until he was 48 years old. There were people tougher than him--but not many.
