You know what would be really cool? For the Chicago tie to the Super Bowl to be that the Bears would be in it.
You know what’s not really cool? Reality.
The Bears are on the outside looking in. Instead of preparing for an epic battle in New Orleans, most players are probably busy handing out Super Bowl party invites.
And even though some of those players are living it up in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl festivities, at the end of the day, no one really gives a rat’s ass about the Pro Bowl.

Hopefully there are at least a few good commercials to provide comic relief.

Jim Harbaugh has worn a red sharpie around his neck for the last two years. But, first things first.
“I take offense at you calling it a necklace. It’s a whistle,” Harbaugh said on Monday. “A coach should go to practice with a whistle and I just clip a pen on it. It’s really not complicated at all.”
