If you guys don’t mind I’d like to talk about a very serious subject today. That would be Displaced Fan Syndrome (DFS). You have all by now probably seen the PSA with the Manning brothers talking about this condition. It affects many Americans every day and it affected me today.
I am a huge Chicago Bears fan. There I said it. But at this point in time I am not currently living in the Chicago area. I tuned in to the Fox pregame show this morning and I waited. I was waiting to see them cut away to the Bears game at the top of the hour, but they didn’t. You know what I got instead? Seinfeld. Now don’t get me wrong Seinfeld is a great show, but it’s Sunday for Christ’s sake! Jerry sure as hell ain’t watchin’ himself on Sunday. He’s watching football. SO GIVE ME MY BEARS! I had to turn on a Colts-Vikings game, which I had less than zero interest in, and just stare at the bottom of the screen so every five minutes I could see the score. I am positive that the Bears lost today because they didn’t have me watching and cheering them on. Last week I didn’t move until the game was over and you all know what happened, a 29-13 rout of the Colts (who I still haven’t forgiven).
It’s awful not knowing if I am going to see my team play on Sunday. If I only get the Sunday and Monday night games I might just die because I can’t survive without my Bears. And don’t try to be smart and tell me to get the NFL Sunday ticket from Direct TV. I don’t have Direct TV and I don’t want to shell out the money to pay for that. Also, don’t tell me to watch dopey little play by play things online. We all know that they suck. I don’t know about you, but watching it happen live on TV is not the same as reading what happened. It’s like listening to a pop-up book on tape. It’s just plain awful.
Please, if you have any suggestions let me know. I am open to all ideas. I need help. I just can’t go on like this. All of you die hard fans know how it is. Every game you miss is like a knife in your team color specific heart. It’s tough, but together, we can make it through this…together.
