Dear Lovie Smith,

I know you have a big game ahead of you tomorrow, and you probably have a lot on your mind right now. But I just wanted to ask you for a teeny tiny favor. Nothing huge. I just need the following to happen (all of the following, not 2 of 3):

a) The Bears win the game
b) The first score of the game is a field goal (either you can score that field goal or limit the Panthers to scoring a field goal first instead of a touchdown)
c) Have over 3 field goals total (between both teams) for the whole game. You can have as many or as little touchdowns/safeties as you want, but lets have a lot of field goals.

See? It's not that hard, right? I mean, you guys have the best defense out there, and have prevented teams from getting touchdowns all season, forcing them to try field goals when the time came, and it shouldn't be any different for the Panthers game tomorrow.

I admit, I have some money on the game. I'm in Vegas, and I have to admit that I'm a bit of a gambler, and hell, while I'm here, why not place a little bet on my favorite team?

I'm not doing it because I'm greedy for the money...I'm doing it because I believe in you, Lovie, you and the rest of the Bears team. You guys can win it all. You've played the Panthers before and had 3 field goals (btw, if you get three this time I'll get my money back.) Not only that, but you also managed to sack QB Jake Delhomme 8 times and kept them to 3 points, where they had averaged 20 the weeks before.

So I believe you can beat them.

...and I believe you can my my requests come true, therefore getting me out of my gambling debt and help my unborn son go to college.

You want him to go to college, don't you?

Thanks Lovie, you're the best.

GO BEARS!
