Boers and Bernstein are highly critical of people saying for how long they've been fans of the Bears. I too can't stand those fan statements since they have no bearing on the quantitative elements of why the Bears suck. It doesn't matter that I've been an active fan of the Bears since 1984. I'm a fan. I have an opinion. The more or less years of being a fan have no bearing on my opinion.
However, given the current death spiral that the Bears are in, I'm concerned that we're heading into another decade of ineptitude. But then it occurred to me to take a look @ the decades and determine where my Bears fandom has gotten me.
