The party starts only an hour or two before the game. We don't usually bother with the pregame crap, though this year may be different. It is a very small group consisting of my two closest friends, their wifes (non-existent in the early years) and whatever kids are available and interested. I have to get there early. I promised my 13-year old godson and his 14-year old brother that I will give them my old Pong game and Coleco Vision system. I will be very popular in certain quarters. One of the highlights of the 1990 game was watching "60 Minutes" after the game and seeing Bill Clinton hold hands with Hillary and lie to the American people. Very entertaining. An historic peace treaty has been signed in Chicago: Cubs and Sox Nations agree to shaky 'Super Bowl Alliance' As the Bears advance, two groups put aside their differences Monday, Jan. 22, 2007 Chicago baseball fans will set aside their differences over the next two weeks and root for the Bears together, according to a recently inked treaty at City Hall Sunday night. "From Wrigleyville to Tinley Park, the people of this great city must band together and support our Bears, a team we can all agree on," said Mayor Richard M. Daley, moments after signing the historic "Super Bowl Alliance," a complicated 63-page document that legally prohibits intra-city baseball disputes until Feb. 5, the day after Super Bowl XLI. Fans of both of Chicago's baseball teams quickly fell in line with the new accord. "For the next two weeks, I promise not to make a single mullet joke," said Lakeview resident and die-hard Cubs fan John Hemlinger. "This is about winning the Super Bowl, not embarrassing a Sox fan because I make triple his salary." Added Hemlinger: "Plus, those guys really know how to riot. I can't wait!" Lifelong White Sox fan Larry Coleman plans to make changes too, primarily by easing up on the anti-Cubs sentiments. "So what if most Cubs fans can't name more than three players on their team?" asked Coleman. "Those uptight yuppies are okay in my book--at least until after the big game. I can beat them up later."
