A grizzlie bear approaches you…

ESPN’s Bill Simmons made me fall off the couch laughing tonight. He wins the award for best column of the year, so far.

For those who were hunkered down in their fallout shelters the last 4 days and didn’t hear about Steve Smith’s full out assault on the Chicago Bears entire defensive backfield during the Panthers 29-21 win Sunday night, here’s Bill’s award for “Worst Move Before a Playoff Game”

To the Bears D-backs who trash-talked Steve Smith in the pregame warmups before the Carolina game. Why wasn’t this in the scouting report? If you were Lovie Smith, wouldn’t this have been your only ironclad instructions all week? Don’t talk to him, don’t look at him, don’t even make eye contact with him. If he approaches you in the warm ups, act the same way you would if you were hiking in the wilderness and a grizzly bear approached you — don’t move, don’t react, don’t do anything until it walks away.
