Bears playing 'no respect' card

DAVE GOLDBERG

Associated Press

MIAMI - Forget the perception that the Chicago Bears are mere patsies for Peyton Manning. They have a decent chance at winning Sunday's Super Bowl against the Colts. Really.
Maybe these guys aren't quite the Monsters of the Midway - under today's rules, Brian Urlacher might get flagged just for breathing on Manning. But their defense can still be pretty scary.

The "unstoppable force" of the Colts offense versus the "immovable object" that is the Bears defense.

The "much maligned" Rex Grossman versus the "posterboy of the NFL" Peyton Manning.

The "chip-on-their-shoulders" Bears battling Peyton Manning "whose legacy depends on this game".

Robbie "good as" Gould in a kicking duel against the "greatest clutch kicker of all time" Adam Vinatieri.

The "power" of the Bears versus the "finesse" of the Colts.



Which one of these is going to get the most buildup from the commentators today?

"This is a horrible matchup. The Patriots and the Colts are obviously the best two teams in the NFL and they should have a rematch in the Super Bowl. There's no way the Bears pitiful offense can keep up with the Colts juggernaut offense. They shouldn't even be on the field together. I've seen the Bears play and they're horrible."

- Tom Brady (not really)
