A follow up to last year’s frustrated fan story. Tune in &amp; check it out.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://liedownchicagobears.com/post/2821245670</link><guid>http://liedownchicagobears.com/post/2821245670</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:23:47 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Have you seen the unofficial Bears PR person on Twitter?</title><description>&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/BearsPR"&gt;Have you seen the unofficial Bears PR person on Twitter?&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Some sample tweets:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Genius move by Martz to have Olsen drop passes all season so nobody will bother covering him in January. Just brilliant!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that last pass attempt Greg Olsen now holds the Bears record for  Most Games With A Dropped Pass, previously held by Dez White.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forte over 1000 rushing yards for the season. It’s more impressive when you remember how much Chris Williams was on the field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cutler is first Bears QB to throw for 3000 yards in consecutive seasons, that’s how high the bar is set in this town.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mike Martz issued a statement this morning saying he never would have come to Chicago if he knew the Bears played outside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Angelo told Santa he didn’t need any more sweaters, ties, or draft picks. “We both know I don’t know how to use them.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overrated? Hardly. The Bears are UNDEFEATED when playing 3rd string quarterbacks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who will be the next group to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Qn3KaxCqk"&gt;record this song for YouTube&lt;/a&gt;? Certainly there must be others who can sing better than the original group. I pledge that anyone who posts the video will get featured on the &lt;a href="http://liedownchicagobears.com"&gt;liedownchicagobears.com&lt;/a&gt; site and tweeted by me endlessly*. Only two games left, show the team what we think of the latest wasted season.&lt;/p&gt;
