Bears Fans are Insane - Give Birth Early

We all know men are crazy when it comes to sports. It's a well known fact that our girlfriends and wives have to deal with weekends where the TV stays on ESPN or whatever local station the games are on. We (well, most of 'we') have overpriced and oversized televisions that are neccessary to watch that buzzer beater or to see whether or not his foot was out.

Most men ask one favor of their significant others during playoffs - leave us alone. No trips to Target, no repainting the guest room, no talking about our feelings. We want to watch the end of another season and we don't want to be bothered unless you are bringing us another 12 pack or freshening up the queso dip.

What I would probably never ask for (sans the Cubs in the World Series) is for my wife to induce labor for a game. But that's what Colleen Pavelka did for her husband Mark. Mark had tickets to Sunday's NFC Championship game and was facing a situation - his child could be born any day now. Maybe the doctor knew about Mark's tickets, because he informed the couple they could induce labor on Friday, and they did. So, while Colleen was in the hospital today rooting the Bears on, Mark was at the game, watching the Bears clinch the NFC and come one win closer to a Super Bowl Championship.

Now that is what I would call a labor of love.
