I'm watching the Bears beat the Philidelphia Eagles. There are thousands of people in a stadium not thirty-five miles from me, experiencing excitement and tension that has topped the cresciendo of their week. My toes are cold.
These people, these nameless, faceless people blanketing the stands don't seem concerned about what they're doing with their lives. I see no trace of a guy worrying whether or not he'll ever see that beautiful girl at the ticket booth again. There's no sign of a mother wondering if she'll have the money to feed her kids when her rent bill comes in. Devin Hester just ran a 51 yard return! Why would a kid be worrying about what college he'll get into? Does it matter if you're in love with someone who doesn't love you? No! The Bears are winning by 4 points in the 3rd quarter! This is heavy stuff! Four turnovers? Come ON Bears, you're better than that.
