The Chi-Town Curse
Comment of the Week
Winner gets a free Nextbook Press book appropriate to his or her comment (if he or she emails me at mtracy@tabletmag.com with his or her mailing address).
This week’s winner is Sophia, who writes of Tim Tebow’s late-game heroics, “Hah. I was ready to convert if only da Bears could hold on for 56 seconds but nooooooooo. Ergo I think a) Tebow is a miracle worker or b) Chicago is cursed. Or both:)”
Sophia gets a copy of David Mamet’s The Wicked Son, because Sexual Perversity in Chicago is the exact opposite of Tim Tebow in Denver.
