<I firmly believe that the Bears can lose the Superbowl, as I have said
<before.  But it won't be New England beating the Bears, it would be the
<Bears beating themselves.  On many occaisions, I have seen teams just
<out and out lose, which is radically different than getting beat.  To
<me, the Cubs of '84 simply lost the playoffs (they had such a big lead
<in almost every game, plus they led the series 3-0).  

	2-0, but you're right, they DID blow it.
<
<Although I am a Bears fan, I will not feel bad if they lose the Superbowl,

	yes you will - but don't worry, they won't (lose, that is)

<because in everyone's heart and mind, the Bears have to be the best team
<in football - this year, if not of all time.

	With a little more offense, they just might be.
	All the more reason to feel bad IF they were to lose, because
	they really have no business losing.
<
<Pretty funny how easy it is to eat crow in public...
<
	yea, but you don't HAVE to - not now, or after SB XX.
	When you're the best, it's REALLY easy to be humble and magnanimous.
	I think it also keeps the fans on your side.
