I can see daylight! That means I'm gonna score...!
Somewhere along today's news of Dusty Dvoracek and Gaines Adams, I found this little nugget:
"I showed up at the team meeting (Saturday) and nobody told me to get out, so it's good news."
You know who said that?
Craig Fucking Krenzel.
Of all the things that are buzzing through my head, the only one I can think of is this:
This is the third plague.
Essentially, God has decided that he can no longer accept the Bears as a football team, and they must be destroyed. This, I believe, is because we did not release his chosen people. Sid Luckman, a nice Jewish boy, was so close to being relieved of the burden of having 31 INT be the most by a Bears QB. Instead, Jay Cutler was unable to finish the job, and so he remains enslaved.
If you look at the biblical 10 plagues, you've got the plagues of Blood, Frogs, Wild Beasts, Flies, Livestock Death, Boils, Flaming Hail, Locusts, Darkness, and Death of the Firstborn.
If you look at the plagues the Bears have suffered this past week, you have Beast Death (Gaines Adams, RIP), the plague of Blood Alcohol Level (Dvoracek), and now Darkness (Krenzel).
If my calculations are correct, this is far too similar to the ten plagues to be taken lightly. Assuming that the system is the same, these first three plagues were just warnings to the horrible things to come. I suspect the following:
Plague #4: Mike Lice. Bears sign Mike Tice to join the coaching staff. Ugh.
Plague #5: Blisters. Despite being the worst receiver on the team, Hester continues to start over Aromashodu due to a lingering case of blisters/boils that make it difficult for him to play.
Plague #6: Dolphins. In an unusual twist, the Bears give up on Charles Tillman, and trade him to the Dolphins for draft picks. Tillman, in turn, gets a career resurgance and becomes the secondary we've needed all along...albeit for the Dolphins. Bears are incidentally dealt a crushing loss in the preseason where Tillman has two picks.
Plague #7: Flaming in Jail. After one too many times watching his friends line up in the three point stance, Brad Maynard becomes sexually aroused and assaults one of his teammates in training camp. He serves prison time for rape.
Then, you have the final three plagues, where serve as a sign of God's true power.
Plague #8: Diabetes. In an unusual twist, Craig Krenzel also contracts diabetes.
Plague #9: Sulking. Cutler, after several weeks of poor production from both the game planning and his receivers, begins to sulk.
Plague #10: Death of the Chosen One. Defying all odds, Krenzel is started over Cutler, who demands to be traded.
HOLY SHIT.
