I do enjoy your posts Belli and I'm happy you're part of the board, however everytime someone starts criticizing a player you call him out. You do realize that pointing out a shitty play or crappy player and talking about it doesn't equal a whine fest. Jesus.
Maybe we're a bunch of "pessimistic people" but you my friend are a little too apologetic. You always make it sound like everything's okay even when it's clearly not.
Maybe you're too nice.
Could be. As a person I'm pretty optimistic and, in addition to that, I try to think about the other perspective and focus on expanding it. I also think theres a lot of bitching and moaning that happens here and in society at large and it annoys me. Sorry about that...
I really dont share your opinion. In fact, IMO this is the least bitching and moaning place, that includes Bears fans, on the planet Earth. If not, please tell me more about that other place
I don't know. People make mistakes. We all make mistakes. I've made big mistakes at work before. I'm glad I wasn't fired. I made a whopper when I was first hired at the job I now have (I've been here 14 years now). I had to go in and tell my boss about the screwup, and I was sweating bullets. The boss wasn't happy, but said, "okay, let's put our heads together and figure out how to fix this" and we did. I ended up being a decent employee though after that (even won some employee recognition awards).
People do dumb things. People make mistakes. We all do.
Cooper will not make that mistake again, and he will be a valuable player for the Bears. He was valuable to us in that game. Without him I don't think we win that game. Yeah, the guy screwed up. Time to move on.
You're absolutely right, David. People make mistakes. We all do because none of us are perfect.
However I believe that we should hold some people to higher standards than others. He's playing his fifth NFL season and making milions, we're not. You (just like me and everybody else) made a mistake by accident, Cooper was just being arrogant and that is one of the worst trait imo. Big difference.
I agree, time to move on. And guess what, I'll keep on rooting for him tomorrow night and the week after. Just hope that idiot learned his lesson.

I think he had a great game as a CB, but that 'mistake' could've cost us the game. And unfortunately it wasnt a mistake. I hope he was at least fined (a nice big fine is also a nice way to learn), cos he ate days, maybe weeks of our lives and made us a laughin' stock even in a win. Even some Croatian fbook pages covered that action, and this is the first time they shared anything football related, so...
There has been a lot of this slowing down to take a slow last step over the goal line on the NFL recently.
I am wondering if a ref will throw a unsportsmanlike conduct flag for taunting on this.
I don't think they can lol it really isn't taunting unless he is dragging his feet, or doing some sort of cocky motion...Cooper was just being lazy for the last 5 yards. Unless they add "dragging ass" to the list of unsportsmanlike things....

No need to apologize. Everything's cool.
No more apologizing, and to celebrate I think a nice round of bitching and whining for everyone is in order.

Thanks for putting things in perspective.
There have been some tough years for the Bears, and a lot of frustrations for all of us. I very much appreciate your positive outlook here.

I refuse. You can't make me bitch and moan. this place, like any message board, is a place to vent when the bears screw up. Or a place to be happy when they win. I have gut reactions. I like to know why I have those reactions. and if my reactions are the same or different than others. Oh crap, I started out trying to make a joke and I got all serious. I APOLOGIZE. I'm like a male cindy lauper I guess. I just wanna have fun.

let's see..... subtract three points for apologizing without a written permission note..... deduct two more points for moaning (I don;t even want to know why you are moaning) instead of whining. Add four points for trying to make a joke. Deduct 427 points for making me try to visualize a male Cindy Lauper.
You owe points Shark. We can settle this with a bank wire transfer though.

Cut him some slack. He could have to be a male Cher.
