My favorite teams
If I can be serious for a minute, I can't say a bears move ever broke me. I've been paying attention to them since the Wanny years and if I can suffer through that I can make it through anything.
I will say though when the Cubs lost the championship series to the Marlins with Dusty Baker at the helm, that broke my baseball fandom.
Even when the Cubs won it I wasn't as passionate as I was during that season. still grateful because my dad got to see the Cubs winning a world series which is what I really wanted.
You know, as much as we all bitch about how snake bit we are, I can honest to God say being in Chicago during this time period I've lived has been a hell of a sports run.
Saw the 85 Bears as a child (didn't care about sports then but I was in front of the TV for Super Bowl 20 and cherish that memory now) had the bulls win six in the 90s and share that experience with my dad, the White Sox won in my lifetime even though I'm not a fan of theirs the Blackhawks had a dynasty, the Bears made it back to the Super Bowl, and the Cubs won the world series.
I've lived to see every single team in this city win a championship, and two sports dynasties.
That's actually kind of badass...
