Devin Hester, will you go to prom with me?

It is amazing that this humble, soft-spoken, and polite athlete has the world at his disposal.

This man single handedly saved the Bears season, my appetite, and probably saved some poor kid from a burning building. All while running backwards. I think. I wasn’t entirely sure. I was busy jumping up and down and high-fiving the air.

Motivation?

We can all thank Todd Sauerbrun, the idiot kicker. It’s always the idiot kicker.

Earlier this week, Idiot Kicker proclaimed that the Broncos were going to stop Hester.

‘We aren’t going to play chicken-(poop) football. We have guys who are paid a lot of money to make tackles’ said I.K.

Right.

Lets give this kid more motivation. With 12 touchdowns in only 30 games, he is one off the NFL record. Already. In TWO measly seasons. He has recorded a touchdowns in almost every way imaginable.

Reception? Check!

Missed field goal? Done!

Punt return? Oh yeah. 7.

Kick returns? Well, why not. And lets just go ahead and do it in the Super Bowl.

In the immortal words of Bears play-by-play announcer Jeff Joniak, ‘Devin Hester, you are ridiculous!’

Goodbye John Drury:

Chicago lost a legend this weekend. Anchorman John Drury passed away at the age of 80. He was an icon while I was growing up, and he will be missed.
