The story of Chicago Bears offensive lineman Charles Leno proposing to his girlfriend after the Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was fun.
But pay special attention to what he said when asked if he would have still proposed had Chicago lost.
“I knew we would win,” Leno said, according to Bears sideline reporter Mark Grote.
That’s a good line after you’ve already won, but there’s a message attached. The Bears don’t seem to view this wildly successful season, which now includes an NFC North championship, as a temporary thing.
