Today, at 2:00PM, the Chicago Bears (our American Football team) will be hosting the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game. If we win this, we go to the Super Bowl to win the ultimate trophy! The last time that happened was more than 20 years ago, so it's huge!!
It isn't going to be easy. Thanks to a media-led frenzy, the *rest* of the country is rooting for the Saints who have had a Cinderella-like story this year, a miraculous comeback after a devastating hurricane Katrina hit their city last year.
The only support we have right now is the Bear country weather here in Chicago - snowing and utterly cold, making for slippery conditions, perfect for the grizzlies. We hope. :-)
Now, did the Saints have to have 'Saints' in their name?! Oh, dear God, we may not be saintly, but, please, please, please, let us win! I want Chicago to celebrate!
I want the Bears to go to DISNEY WORLD!!!
Edit:
We won the game, 39-14.
Miami, here we come! It's the Bears against the Indianapolis Colts on
Feb 4th for the Super Bowl . Woo-hoo! :-)
PS: I'm not sure why this image is getting so many views, so quickly, apparently out of nowhere! Whoever you are, thank you!
Story continues here.

I have decided there is a need for a place to display Top quality firework photographs
This group will be by invitation only, all photographs will be screened by the Administators to ensure only the best shots make it into the pool.
There are thousands of Pyro shots on flickr which unfortunately swamp the really good material so it is our mission to make this a place of Excellence in Pyrotechnics

Great shot, but why is this most interesting when I search for 'new orleans saints'?

thank you all for your comments and invitations!
@LY$, I set the wrong exposure and that's how it ended up dark. :-)
John .P, I have no idea why this would be the most interesting photo in your search. I'm not complaining, however. :-) Thank you for your visit. Go Bears!
