It's her ticket into the game that she's shooting for. Surprised no one has thought of this before.

Re: Take her pom poms to the Superbowl!!

Did you see the story about the Bears player who told a fan, on TV, that if the Bears make the Super Bowl he'll give him some tickets. And now that they've made it he's not giving him any tickets. I am trying to find the story I can't remember the player's name.

Re: Take her pom poms to the Superbowl!!

Here it is

Quote:
'It's on tape': Fan demands Bears player fulfill ticket vow
(http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2...RRIS25.article)

January 25, 2007

Months before the Chicago Bears clinched their first trip to the Super Bowl in 21 years, safety Chris Harris stared into a video camera and promised to take fan Bryan Lange with him to Miami if the team made it to the big game.

The apparent promise -- made during a 40-second interview with a public access television show last June -- might have seemed like a longshot at the time.

But now that the Bears are in, thanks in part to Harris' big plays last Sunday, Lange is trying to hold Harris to his words.

Lange, a construction worker from Crystal Lake and a Bears season ticket holder, has set up camp on the road to Halas Hall this week with a sign saying, "Chris Harris You Promised.''

He also posted a clip of the interview he filmed at a charity event at www.psychobabble tv.com/chrisharrispromised.

In it, Harris tells Lange -- who goes by the name Chong on a show called Psycho Babble -- that his goal is to make it to the Super Bowl.

Says Lange: "If you guys make it to the Super Bowl, I'll sell my Harley to go.''

Harris replies, "You won't have to sell it. I will give you tickets.''

Lange replies, "I'm going to hold you to it. I've got you on tape.''

Harris, looking at the camera, then agrees: "It's on tape. If we win, he's going.''

Lange concludes the interview by saying, "Chong is going to the Super Bowl with the Bears on Chris Harris' dollar.''

After two days in the cold, Lange, 33, says Harris told him Wednesday that he couldn't help him.

In a phone interview, Harris' agent, Albert Elias, said he was unaware of Harris' promise but called Lange's appeal "a very unreasonable request considering Chris has over 40 family members trying to get tickets and he's only offered 15.''

Dave Newbart
So apparently Harris didn't think the Bears really had much of a chance to make the Super Bowl.

I just heard a little bit about it this morning. You can imagine the news here in Indianapolis doesn't care too much about it.

I could care less whether that guy gets to the game, I'm a Colts fan I don't want more Bear fans there. But my point was that Chris Harris must not have thought the Bears had much of a chance to make it. He knew he would only get a few tickets and I think he knew how many family members he has. So why would you say something like that unless you thought it wasn't going to happen?

i hope the colts kick the bears' butts...i mean, i love chicago (as a city), but the sports teams, really drive me to drink. i can tolerate the white sox, but that's american league baseball, which doesn't really count in my book

a friend at work asked me why i didn't like chicago sports teams and i told him because the media just worships them so much, that they become unbearable to watch. the interviews are just so annoying. he then asked me if i lived in cincinnati, if i would still be a fan of the reds. i told him probably not, i'd probably be a cub fan

I doubt that's what the bidders are "shooting" for.
