Want to thank Chicago Bears personnel & George McCaskey for not allowing nephew in preseason game until 2nd half. They didn't want to traumatize him.

Ok.

holy shit you're STILL on this? man it was a PRESEASON game, and IIRC it wasn't even the third one (you know, the actual "dress rehearsel" for the regular season where starters play into the third quarter) so odds are you'd see a bunch of players #35-70 on the roster and hey NEWSFLASH only 53 guys make the roster in the end.

so really, i think it could be argued that george went out of his way to SAVE your nephew from the dregs/season-ticket-huste known as "the NFL preseason" where you're charged full price to watch a half-assed-at-best game.

regardless it's certainly not worth all of the effort and hoopla you made broadcasting your gripe with the mcclaskey family some ~200 odd times when it happened, let alone ~3-4 months later when the issue is long beyond the potential blip-on-the-radar-at-best that it was when it happened.

not trying to be a dick here, david, but really man.... i know what happened to you sucks and it's sour grapes for you, but still you're only opening yourself up to more scorn and ridicule from the CSFMB faithful by dredging it up once again and bemoaning the point again. yeah what happened sucks, but IIRC it was some sort of grey area where the team might not have even 100% been at fault, at least from the perspective of us outsiders, so you're really not doing yourself any favors here by continuing on and on and on like anything's gonna happen about it. speaking of, what's the best case scenario for you here? that you raise up enough of a stink that word gets to george and he goes "HOLY SHIT! THAT'S *DAVID SPADA* A LONGTIME BELOVED NAME IN THE PANTHEON OF CHICAGOLAND SPORTS TALK RADIO! IF HE GETS ANYTHING BUT AAA SERVICE HIS COMPLAINTS WILL SURELY CAUSE MILLIONS TO TAKE NOTICE AND THE BOYCOTTS/DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST US COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE FAMILY BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF TIME! WE'D BETTER MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH MR. SPADA AND GIFT HIM AND HIS NEPHEW PROPER SKY/BOX SEATS FOR NO LESS THAN 2-3 GAMES TO MAKE UP FOR THIS HORRENDOUS OVERSIGHT!!!!!"

do you think THAT's gonna happen? or, more likely, is this just gonna be a case of sour grapes that caused you to be the butt of the joke.... and now long after everyone had forgotten about it you're bringing it up again so everyone who had a laugh at your expense can laugh again, and those who didnt see/hear about the sour grapes when it first happened can join in the laughs-at-your-expense? i just dont get it man. i mean god bless you and your nephew and if you got a raw deal, well, shit happens.... but it's the PRESEASON man. it's a hustle because they tack these PRESEASON games on to the season ticket package and make people pay full price for these meaningless games / overhyped scrimmages if they wanna be able to get their proper season tickets.... so like the fact that you got screwed over on some PRESEASON game only goes to further illustrate just how crazy this is. and the fact that you're continuing to harbor a grudge will likely only bury you deeper on the bears' shit-list/s as opposed to bringing an important matter to george's attention so he can make it right with complimentary passes to excellent seats for regular season game/s that matter.

or maybe if he's got a sense of humor he'll get you first row tickets to our first home playoff game, and you and the nephew can sit there in the first row with plenty of room to move about durng the first round of the playoffs. would that make it up to you?
