Bears vs. Colts, Behrens vs. Cook

Every day from now until Super Bowl XLI, Flak Magazine will publish an e-mail exchange between Andy Behrens (sports writer and dedicated Bears fan) and Bob Cook (sports writer and diehard Colts fan). Let the (pre)game begin.

Monday, Feb. 5

FROM: Andy Behrens
TO: Bob Cook

You know what? F it. I'm spending the next 72 hours away from my computer. Instead, I'm going to go stand in the exact spot where I would have stood for the post-Super Bowl parade (in the -20 degree cold) and weep. Here's a haiku:

Sanders was brilliant,
Addai? Just fine. But man, Rex
Grossman sure did suck.

And another:

Dungy in the rain,
his Mister Drysdale moustache
dripping Gatorade.

Ugh. I'm physically ill, Bob. Like with vomit. Here's a final effort:

Oh no. Nuh-uh. Damn.
Well, we have a saying here,
Cook: wait 'til next year.
