(he's the guy who sets up shop across from the Vienna beef place right by the viaduct on 35th just in case anyone wants to go all Craig Mack and jock my style =)

yeah you know in retrospect I should have gotten that "Kings of the North" shirt where that phrase is in the GOT font/style because it's a more recent reference. Or hell I reckon I coulda went for the other timeless designs akin to legends like "Ozzie Mows My Lawn!" Or " Cardinals fans take it in the Pujols" even tho I strangely don't remember what they were for some odd reason/s!

nevermind that the shirt is technically spot on re: Mitch being a known unknown heading into year 2/2.5/3/whatever because even tho he piled up some !!! #s last year nobody is really sure about Mitch; yeah he's obviously not 100.0% as good as his [passing] #s indicate, but is he able to become a legit starting QB for a contender? A playoff team? A bang average parity darling who rode a hot defense as far as it could go? (SEE: RAMS, LA)

this uncertainty is perfectly encapsulated in the mantra "I've got 99 problems but Mitch ain't one" cuz it hearkens people's worries about the bears (defensive fall-off, RB uncertainty in a post-jordan-Howard world, the black hole of infinite sucktitude that we call the Kicker position) but provides a sensible outlook re: the Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky Experience™®® that says "yeah he's pretty ok/solid/good [read: good enough] to such an extent that I'm not worried about him as much as [insert concern/s here]" ERGO lets remind the world that I'm at least shoulder-deep in my 30somethings by referencing a cool song from back when I was cool/er 17-18 years ago that just happens to literally/figuratively "rhyme" with a major talking point @ your average bears watercooler conversation all around the world, let alone BEAR NATION™®©, the city, etc.

TLDR = I shoulda DBOTW'd the guy for not having a hip-n-now "Old Bear Road" shirt for sale today #AintNobodyGonnaTellMeNUTHINNNNNN #AintNobodyGonnaSellMeNUTHINNNNNN </ignantmotherfuckers>

AHEM... I digress...

LET'S THANK THE LORD FOR YET ANOTHER HOF-QUALITY POST FROM EVERYBODY'S GUY, DARKSIDE!!!!

I think this will be a down year for the Bears if they have 99 problems to solve.
