Craig responds to a bizarre column published by the Chicago Tribune, in which columnist Eric Zorn let the city know just how offended he was after last weeks game. Zorn was offended when Chicago Bears’ rookie placekicker, Eddy Piñeiro, thanked his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after making a game-winning field goal.

I’m talking about atheists on the losing team or in the losing fanbase, as Zorn implied. It sounded funny and I’m just having a bit of fun.)) I honestly believed((Aw shucks, there I go…I didn’t even make it further than the second sentence. Sorry, Eric.)) that I had missed a joke and largely brushed it off until later, when I heard Zorn clarify his column while appearing on the Bill and Wendy Show on WGN Radio 720 AM, and reiterate later in the week while appearing on the John Williams Show. As it turns out, Eric Zorn, an adult, was actually offended by Eddy Piñeiro’s postgame jubilation.
