Friends are coming in from out of town to spend the New Year's with us here in V-Town. I'll be picking them up at the airport just about kickoff time on Sunday. I'll record the game, but at best I'll only be able to watch later that night, assuming I somehow avoid catching the outcome ahead of time. What can I say, life sucks, then you die.

You can't get me to do dick on Sundays besides watch football. I work six days a week most of the time and will do backflips and walk on hot coals to come up with an excuse to not work Sundays during football season.

Also, my heart sank when I saw the thread title because I thought it was about Eddie Jackson or something. lol

A true Bears fan would ditch their friends at the airport.

LOL - guess if I was a true football/Bears fan, I'd do just that!! Unfortunately, I'm a wimp who feels obligated to pick them up. But I like your suggestion anyway Beardown.

A true Bears fan doesn't have friends who don't respect the "Bears game window"

When they booked their flight back in November, none of us were thinking playoff implications. In fact, if the league didn't flex this game, I would been able to catch the majority of it and just recorded the rest. I'm glad that at least this isn't a must win game for the Bears, but I'm going to do my darndest anyway to avoid learning of the outcome in advance. Hell, I don't mind watching the game at midnight or later - I'll just blast thru all the commercials anyway.

Have it ready to go in the Living Room, chairs set up, guacamole in the fridge, Chips, Lou Ma's or Patillo's ready to roll, Beers in an ice chest (on ice) in front of the chairs, have the recording que'd up ready to run. Pick them up in all your Bear finery, paint your face, wear a bear hat, furry claws optional, you're driving. Straight home, radio off.

Remember: We are all here to help.

This all sounds phenomenal, actually. Bears party at LSD's!

Except I don't think I could hang with a bunch of face painters *Seinfeld reference*

Sweet, I'll drive up!

Ok, what did I just get myself into!! LOL - Go Bears!!!

Call in a bomb threat for their flight, they will get delayed long enough to watch the game and then you go get them.

I like this

It's smart, efficient and it hurts no one. Just gives everyone involved a little kick in the shorts. Rustles em in their jimmies. In the end, though - everyone gets where they wanted to go and he gets to see the Bears.

If this was a playoff game, their info would be deleted from my phone.

I would lose a job if I had to work during a playoff game. If that's what it required...

"Yeah, Bears have a playoff game. I am not working. This is now your problem. If I don't hear from you by Monday, I will assume I still have a job and come in. If not, peace the fuck out plaaaayaaass."

If someone asked me to do something on Sunday, I would tell them to reschedule. That's pretty rude to expect a football fan to move their ass more than 10 ft from the couch.
