Spring Break
Hell freezing over and Easter grass

2. The Threat: I'm a Bears fan. Don't get me wrong. Cade McNown is my hero (kidding). But when it comes to the postseason, I'm a Patriots fan. After watching the Patriots take Super Bowl XXXVIII and Tom Brady say he was going to Disney World, I called up my dad. I told him that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl the next year, too. He laughed at me and said that if the Patriots won two Super Bowls in a row then the Cubs would win the World Series.
3. The Shot: About a week ago, two of my friends and I were at the Spencer Recreation Center playing basketball. If you have ever watched me play then you probably ended up crying at some point because you would've been laughing so hard. I'm terrible. We were shooting free throws and I think I came close to hitting the rim about three times. After missing, well, all of them, I decided to try something. I said that if I made the next shot then the Cubs would win the World Series this year. Nothing but net.
My friends didn't believe me. They made me go best out of three for this one. Needless to say, the second shot didn't even come close. But the third one looked like that "questionable" at the buzzer shot by University of Kentucky in the Michigan State University game.
Let's put all three together shall we? Sosa is gone, the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXIX and I somehow managed to make two out of three free throws. Coincidence that this all happened leading up to the same Cubs season? I don't think so.
So let's face it - hell is finally going to freeze over. But don't worry, you'll be kept warm because Easter grass lines the floors of hell (think tinsel but in pastels). And no matter how hard you try to get rid of it, there will always be pieces that you missed. Just like Cubs fans; no matter how much our team loses and no matter how many years we go without winning a championship, you will still be able to find a Cubs fan no matter where you go.
