I was kind of pissed about how the Bears took a few Flair Chops on their way to the playoffs last night, but you can't blame the offensive line. They played well. Woooooooooooo!
"Hanging over the tops of lockers belonging to offensive linemen Wednesday were ornate belts, each with a huge gold emblem on the front and two smaller ones on the sides. If they looked like world championship belts for professional wrestling, that was the idea.
The belts were the gift to each lineman from guard Ruben Brown, who had the gifts done as surprises for a group that is a big fan of Nature Boy Ric Flair, inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in May. Brown commissioned the same man who did Flair's to do these belts, which include the main inscription "Da Line" with illustrations of five linemen in their stances, the same illustration on a popular T-shirt the group had done in the past.
"I thought it would be a neat Christmas gift for the rest of the guys," Brown said. "It's a replica of Ric Flair's first championship belt. Through our conversations we realized we all like Ric Flair and a lot of us grew up liking him."
