Ngasekupheleni kuka-April, uSteve McMichael wayengumlingisi okhuthele kakhulu ku-Bears ngo-1985. Engxoxweni ne-WGN, kwavezwa ukuthi watholakala ukuthi une-ALS futhi uvame ukubizwa ngokuthi uLuge Grieg.(Lou Gehrig) Ukugula kwakhubaza ihlombe lakhe.Kubalandeli bemigilingwane ephithizelayo enkundleni kanye nomsingathi ka-Mark Giangreco kuhlelo lwangemva komdlalo we-NBC-5, lesi isigcawu esinzima.NgoDisemba 1991, uMarcia Froelke Coburn waheha uMcMichael ngentelezi yakhe eqinile ngenkathi uMcMichael ebhala iphrofayili yaleli phephabhuku, ngenkathi esenonkosikazi wakhe wangaphambili uDebra ngaleso sikhathi.
Wangena egumbini lokuhlela izindaba ze-TV ku-Channel 5 futhi wasusa i-phlegm emphinjeni wakhe.Waduma kanje uMongo (Mongo) ngemuva kokuba umlingiswa ka-Alex Karras ku- “The Blazing Saddle” ememezele ubukhona bakhe.Wabe esethatha ummese wokuzingela we-Bowie (isipho esivela ku-Kevin Matthews wesiteshi somsakazo i-WLUP kuze kube manje) futhi wabubula etafuleni lomdidiyeli.
Lobu ubusuku bokuqala besizini entsha, noma ngabe umdlalo webhola noma umdlalo wezemidlalo kaMcMichael ngeSonto.AmaBhele ahlule iMinnesota namhlanje ntambama.Manje, izinga elithile lokushuba nokujabula kuntanta emoyeni.Uzokwenzani uMike Michael kusihlwa?
Uma kubhekwa ukusebenza kwakhe okwedlule, kunzima ukusho.Wahlephula ibhodlela le-stunt ekhanda lika-Mark Giangreco elihlanzekile, wamfutha ngokhilimu ohlutshiwe kanye ne-champagne, wabe esemcindezela ukuze uDebra akwazi ukupenda umlomo wakhe nge-lipstick.Kwesinye isikhathi u-Pepe we-Chihuahua kaMcMichael uvela egqoke isigqoko sakhe sokuzivikela sebhola esincane (esidonswe u-Debra) noma isikwele esibomvu (esithungwe u-Steve) Embukisweni.
Njengebhere elibusayo kanye nenkanyezi ye-TV embi, uSteve McMichael ugcwele izinyembezi emehlweni akhe.Kodwa usachitha isikhathi egqokela unkosikazi wakhe omuhle uDebra
Uyayazi imfihlo yempumelelo, futhi impumelelo-njengothando-yinto enhle kakhulu.
Abanye abantu bayamkhulekela, abanye bayamzonda.Abanye abantu bambiza “leya ndoda”, njengokuthi “Ngiyalithanda ibhola, kodwa ngeke ngiyimele leyo ndoda”.Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuthi uyindlalifa yesihlalo sobukhosi sikaJoker esasingenamuntu ngemuva kokuhamba kukaJim McMahon.Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi uyena yedwa owasinda ekuhlanzweni kobuntu okuthukuthele eminyakeni embalwa edlule.Abanye abantu bafuna ukumkhipha epalini bese bemkhipha edolobheni.
Lokho, kanye neqiniso lokuthi le ndawo yayigxuma lapho engena endlini yakhe.Umsakazi we-TV ovela kwa-ESPN ulinde ukuxoxisana naye.Iqembu lakhe laphenya, lafaka izintambo futhi lafaka izibani ukuze lithwebule isikhathi sakhe esikhululekile ekhaya emuvi.Umlobi womagazini wayezulazula, ecwile emkhathini.Intatheli yephephandaba icele ukucashunwa ocingweni.UmkaMcMichael uthe ushaye izingcingo ezimbili futhi kufanele azibuyisele kungakapheli ihora.Okungenani, ucabanga ukuthi yilokho akushilo.Inja, inyakaziswa yibo bonke abangazi nababanga umsindo, yamemeza ezinyaweni zayo.
Ngaphambi kokuba athole ngisho nethuba lokuthola ukuthi kwenzekeni kwasekuqaleni, wangqongqoza emnyango—izingane zomakhelwane ezimbalwa zazidinga amasignesha athile ekhadini le-bubble gum.
Konke ukunakwa sekunesikhathi eside kukhona.Futhi nansi manje-manje usengumuntu wesikhathi, iqembu, noma idolobha-uSteve McMichael akakwazi ukuzibamba kodwa aveze intukuthelo yakhe.
"Ubekuphi wonke umuntu kule minyaka eyishumi edlule?"Umakadebona wacelwa ukuthi avikele amaBhele.“Ngilapha kusukela ngo-1981 ukuze ngibambe iqhaza kuyo yonke imidlalo.Kubo bonke lobu busika obubandayo, ngizikhokhele izimali zami.”Kubukeka sengathi usanda kuphuma enkingeni.Ukhethwe ku-All-Pro kabili.Ubeyilungu leqembu elawina iSuper Bowl ngo-1986. Eminyakeni emibili edlule, ubeke endaweni yokuqala noma eyesibili kwezokuvikela ohlelweni lwangaphakathi lwamaBears.
Angaqhubeka.Kodwa liyini iphuzu?Izibalo zisebenza kwabahluliwe.Kodwa-ke, ufuna nje ukwazi ukuthi kungani leli gagasi lilinde kuze kube manje-lapho eneminyaka engu-34 ubudala, wayeyilungu elidala kunawo wonke webhere ngaphambi kokungena empilweni yakhe.
Kunjalo, lokhu kubhekiselwa kuhlelo lwakhe lwangemva komdlalo ku-WMAQ-TV, lapho uMcMichael ebekwe khona phambi kwekhamera ebukhoma.Waziwa ngokukhipha imimese yokuzingela (evame ukusetshenziswa ukunyakazisa ikhofi noma ukucosha amazinyo) noma ukuqhekeza amaqanda ebusweni bomphathi wezemidlalo u-Mark Giangreco.Wenza ihlaya ngezinkolelo zabantu nezithandwa zocansi, futhi wabiza indlovukazi yakhe e-blonde eneminyaka engu-31 u-Debra nabangane bakhe abakhulu ngokuthi “Kotex Mafia.”Ungumfana wasemakhaya eTexas othanda ukufuya izimbuzi.
Ngokuvamile, uzophumelela.I-PTA yamgxeka, ababhali bezemidlalo kanye nabagxeki be-TV bamfaka ohlwini olushicilelwe, futhi omunye wamahange wezindaba we-WMAQ wasikisela kuye ngamazwi anesizotha, afana nenkosikazi ukuthi kufanele abe nesimo sengqondo futhi amsunduzele endaweni lapho ilanga lingashi khona- kuhle ukubuza Ungabi uma esakaza.
“Yebo, ngingabacasula abantu,” kusho uMcMichael.“Kodwa noma bengeke bangibekezelele kodwa kusenzima ukuthi bangangibukeli kude.Uyazi ukuthi kungani?”Wehlisa izwi, elungiselela ukuxoxa ngemfihlo yakhe.“Bakhathazeka ngokuthi ngolunye usuku ingqamuzana lami lokugcina lobuchopho lizophuma kungazelelwe futhi ngiwele onqenqemeni.Abafuni ukugeja.”
Bangababhangqwana abamangalisayo, njengabalingiswa basezinganekwaneni zesimanje: iChicago Beauty and the Beast ebusayo.Njengomsubathi, ungomunye wezibani ezimbalwa ezikhanyayo eqenjini elicwebezelayo eliphansi.Njengomuntu we-TV, wesabisa amagagasi omsakazo wendawo, ephakamisa isibindi nokunambitha okubi kube uhlobo lobuciko.Uyikati elihayizayo, elithandekayo, futhi ubumnandi bakhe bushintsha ngobuhlakani.Uyidwala lakhe;wamnika ubufakazi obukhulu.
Ubuso nobuso, uMcMichaels akakwazanga ukuzibamba.Isitayela sabo singesi-Southern Gothic: U-Steve uthanda amahembe kasilika namabhulukwe ahlelekile, amabhuzu e-cowboy ka-Tony Lama kanye nezibuko zelanga zesitayela sika-John Lennon Jr..UDebra uthanda izingubo ezinemibala egqamile (i-aqua, ebomvu, ewolintshi noma ebomvana) futhi ithambile kakhulu (izikhonkwane, izibuko noma ama-sequin), amacici amakhulu nezithende eziphakeme zegolide.Uthanda ibhande leKieselstein-Cord.Unobuthakathaka bobucwebe bakhe obubizwa ngokuthi "igumbi lokukhula": amasongo namasongo kanye negumbi lamadayimane engeziwe.Emini, wayeshayela iFord Mustang eya eHholo likaHarrah, futhi wayedonsa iCadillac emnyama.Kodwa kusihlwa, bathatha i-Rolls Royce cruise ebomvu bezungeza idolobha.
Ezweni lezemidlalo ezikhokhelwayo, bangumbhangqwana okhuthele kakhulu.Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, uDebra walandela uSteve ePlatteville ukuze bachithe lonke ikamu lokuqeqesha ndawonye.
Wathi: “Angiqondi ukuthi kungani ufuna ukushada nomuntu bese ungachithi sonke isikhathi sakho naye.
Uthe: “Ngizokutshela ukuthi ukuhlala nabafana akungikhuthazi ukudlala ibhola.”
Njengamanje, izimpilo zabo zifana nomdlalo ophelele, yonke into isimi ngomumo, bathathe isinyathelo esifanele.
Wangena egumbini lokuhlela izindaba ze-TV ku-Channel 5 futhi wasusa i-phlegm emphinjeni wakhe.Waduma kanje uMongo (Mongo) ngemuva kokuba umlingiswa ka-Alex Karras ku- “The Blazing Saddle” ememezele ubukhona bakhe.Wabe esethatha ummese wokuzingela we-Bowie (isipho esivela ku-Kevin Matthews wesiteshi somsakazo i-WLUP kuze kube manje) futhi wabubula etafuleni lomdidiyeli.
Lobu ubusuku bokuqala besizini entsha, noma ngabe umdlalo webhola noma umdlalo wezemidlalo kaMcMichael ngeSonto.AmaBhele ahlule iMinnesota namhlanje ntambama.Manje, izinga elithile lokushuba nokujabula kuntanta emoyeni.Uzokwenzani uMike Michael kusihlwa?
Uyikati elithandekayo, futhi ubumnandi bakhe buthonywa abantu abahlakaniphile.Uyidwala lakhe;wamnika ubufakazi obukhulu.
Uma kubhekwa ukusebenza kwakhe okwedlule, kunzima ukusho.Wahlephula ibhodlela le-stunt ekhanda lika-Mark Giangreco elihlanzekile, wamfutha ngokhilimu ohlutshiwe kanye ne-champagne, wabe esemcindezela ukuze uDebra akwazi ukupenda umlomo wakhe nge-lipstick.Kwesinye isikhathi u-Pepe we-Chihuahua kaMcMichael uvela egqoke isigqoko sakhe sokuzivikela sebhola esincane (esidonswe u-Debra) noma isikwele esibomvu (esithungwe u-Steve) Embukisweni.
Namuhla ebusuku, uMcMichael ubekhuthele, okungenani esebenza njengenyama yenkomo eqinile yaseTexas engu-6-foot-2 kanye ne-270-pounds.“Ungasho ukuthi “jeqa” ku-TV ngemva kuka-10:30 ebusuku?”wabuza.“Ngibheka nje ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi akukho engingakusho.Kanye.”Wabe esebhala enye inhlamba.UDebra wayengenazwelo njengakuqala, ebeka izandla emehlweni akhe.U-Giangreco kanye nomdidiyeli wohlelo bahleka, nakuba bethukile.Ngemva kwemizuzu eyishumi, umuntu uzohlala phambi kwekhamera ebukhoma.
“Lapho uhlelo luqala, ngibuze ukuthi ngizizwa kanjani.”UMcMichael utshele uGiangreco.Ngakho-ke, emizuzwini embalwa kamuva, u-Giangreco wavela phambi kwezilaleli zokuqala zale sizini, "Pho, unjani uSteve?"
UMongo wathi: “Kulungile, iphepha lasendlini yangasese linegazi elincane, futhi ngithole enye ye-Debra's Lee Press-On Nails engutsheni yami yangaphansi.”I-Giangreco yayimhlophe ngokusobala.Eceleni, abakhiqizi bathuka futhi bahefuzela.Anikine ikhanda uDebra.Wathi: “Angikwazi ukumlawula.”
Hambisana nekwenzekayo.Ngasekupheleni kombukiso, uMcMichael wakhipha ummese wakhe wokuzingela wawubamba amayintshi ambalwa ukusuka emphinjeni ka-Giangreco.Khona-ke, wamfutha ngentambo engasile.Ukusebenza kuphelile.
Ngemva komzuzu, kwakhala ucingo etafuleni lika-Giangreco.Laba ngabasebenzi bakwa-NBC abasebenzelana nomphakathi.U-Giangreco walalela umzuzu owodwa noma emibili, wabe esephendula."Ubukuphi ngonyaka odlule?"wabuza.“Yilokhu esizokwenza.Yilokho umbukiso.”
Ngaphambi kokuthi uMcMichael ajoyine i- “Sports Sunday” ngoSepthemba 1990, u-Giangreco wabamba umbukiso we-keel nge-Defender Defender ye-Bears phakathi nesizini yebhola.Lapho uBear etshela uDuerson ukuthi ahambe, uDebra McMichael wakhuthaza umyeni wakhe ukuba acele umsebenzi.(“Ngiyazi ukuthi uSteve uzoba muhle ngoba uyahlekisa, ungamqasha ephathini,” esho.) Wakwenza, kodwa i-WMAQ-TV icabangela noMike Singletary kulesi sikhundla.Ekugcineni, u-Singletary (ongumuntu othanda ukuphelela) wayefuna ukulawula iskripthi, ukuzilolonga kanye nokwenza kabusha.UMcMichael uzimisele ukusiza.
Embukisweni wakhe wokuqala, uMcMichael waqala cishe yonke umusho: “O, Jesu Kristu…” Ngesonto lesibili, wenza ihlaya.Embukisweni wesithathu, igama elithi "Kotex Mafia" lakhala kumaza omsakazo waseChicago.Ngesikhathi lo mfana ethi uzimisele ngokudlala amaphiko, ubengadlali.
Kusenjalo, idolobha lonke lase likhuluma ngale inganono ebizwa ngokuthi uMcMichael.Ngokuhamba kweminyaka, uJohnny Morris nomqeqeshi uMike Ditka weChannel 2 banalesi sikhathi.Esikhathini esingaphansi kwenyanga ngo-1990, izilinganiso zeChannel 5 zicishe zaphindeka kabili.
Ku-WMAQ, umbuzo uba: wehliselwa kanjani phansi umuntu onikeze igama elithi “igunya lokuvikela” incazelo entsha ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa inzuzo?KuMongo, impendulo iwukusuka kumaqhinga okwethuka bese uphendukela ku-farce.(Noma kunjalo, usathanda ukufaka i-“Kotex Mafia” ezingxoxweni zakhe ezibukhoma. Ohlelweni lwakamuva, uqhathanise isimo sakhe sangemva komdlalo nesezifebe-”Bengisebenza kanzima futhi ngikwenza. “Wet” and call its abalandeli "Mongoloids".)
Umphumela uyinzuzo yabo siqu: amakhaya angaphezu kuka-200,000 abambe iqhaza emcimbini ukuze abuke ubusuku bokuvula bukaMcMichael ngale nkwindla.Isonto nesonto, izilinganiso zabonisa ukuthi yena no-Ditka babe nalesi sikhathi esicishe silahlekelwe.Okuguquguqukayo okuthinta imiphumela yamasonto onke kufaka phakathi ukusebenza okufana nokudlala okuqala kamuva ngenxa yemidlalo ephelelwe yisikhathi (noma ubani osakaza ngokuvamile uyawina ebusuku), nezithenjwa ezihlukene ezihlobene nalokhu kudlalwa okuqale kufinyelele emibikweni yezemidlalo yezinga eliphansi, njengegalofu noma Izinga eliphezulu- imidlalo yebhola lezinyawo yesikole (noma ubani ongena kuligi encane uvamise ukulahlekelwa kakhulu yizibukeli).
Nakulokhu, umphumela ungase ube yikhanda elibuhlungu leligi.“[UMcMichael] ungomunye wamalungu esintu aguquke kancane kancane,” kubhala umlobeli wephephandaba le-TV nomsakazo we-“Sun Times” uBarry Cronin ngemva kokwethulwa kokuqala kwe-“Sports Sunday” ngo-September walo nyaka .“Ngolunye usuku, izethameli zingase zicabange ukuthi uMeng Ge uzogwaza abulale uGiangreco phambi kwekhamera ngommese wokuzingela ayewuphethe.”
Ngemva kwesonto, umlobi wephephandaba i-“The Sun Times” uRichard Roeper (uRichard Roeper) wacaphuna igama lowesifazane owambiza futhi waqala ikholamu yakhe.Utshele uRoeper: “'Ngifuna ubhale ikholomu futhi uyalele iChannel 5 ukuthi isakaze lo mlingiswa kaSteve McMichael.
UGiangreco uthe: “Angicabangi ukuthi abantu kufanele bawe ezihlalweni zabo ngenxa kaSteve.“Izindaba zakudala lezi, futhi angase enze izinto ezishaqisayo.Abantu akudingeki babukele.Ngakho uma benza., Bese beshaqekile, yingoba bafuna ukuba njalo.”
Umbono kaMcMichael uthi: umsebenzi wakhe uwukudonsa amehlo abantu.Yingakho engumdlali ovikelayo.Ngakho-ke, ngezinye izikhathi ezinye zazo zizochitheka emhlabeni wangempela.Yini le engaka?“Bakhangisa i-Kotex kumabonakude, akunjalo?”uthe.Mayelana nokukhononda ngokuthi wayevame ukwenza ihlaya noma asebenzise i-Giangreco njengesikhwama sokubhoboza esikhundleni sokuxoxa ngomdlalo wosuku, waphendula: “Ibhola lingahlaziywa, akunjalo?Insizwa enhle.“Kwenzekeni ngalo mdlalo?"Hhayi-ke, iyasebenza noma ayisebenzi, akunjalo?"
Kuye, kulula kakhulu.Ibhola akuwona umdlalo omuhle.Iba thambile futhi ingcolile ngenxa yegazi, ubuhlungu kanye nomjuluko.Uyafuna ukuba muhle?Thola umdlali we-baseball.
Indlu yabo ese-Mundelein iyindawo yokuzilibazisa yesitayela sezwe.(Bayithenge ku-Dave Duerson.) Bayibiza ngokuthi “indlu yechibi elincane” ngoba indawo yabo eyinhloko bekungamagilebhisi esitayela sika-Santa Fe aphinki asatshalaliswa e-Austin, eTexas.Bahlala lapho kusukela ngoNhlolanja kuya phakathi nehlobo.Lapho ikamu lokuqeqesha liqala, bapakisha amapotimende abo e-Louis Vuitton kanye nezilwane ezifuywayo eziyisithupha (izinja ezintathu, amakati amathathu), base bebuyela e-Mundelein ukuze bayodayisa kule sizini.
Yize yonke ingemuva lendlu enamagumbi okulala amathathu inombono omuhle weDiamond Lake, le ndawo inokuthungwa okufana ne-cocoon.Yilapho abahlala kude nezwe (noma bajwayele kuze kufike umhlaba kubo).Igumbi lokuphumula linosofa abathokomele, amavazi aseShayina, izithombe zezinja ze-foo, imidwebo ye-Debra engabonakali kanye namakhethini aphinki ukusuka phansi kuya kusilingi, okwenza ubuso bawo wonke umuntu bubebomvu.
Ngaphansi kwezitebhisi ezivunguzayo, kunetafula lephuli eliklanywe ngokwezifiso, okuyisipho sikaKhisimusi esivela ku-Debra siya ku-Steve.Phansi kukhona negumbi lesisindo elinesibuko, elifakwe i-multi-station general gym kanye nama-sunbeds.Bavala i-swimming pool yangaphandle eminyakeni embalwa edlule.USteve uthe: “Uma sifuna ukubhukuda, sizobhukuda e-Austin.Ngazo zonke izinhloso ezingokoqobo, ikhishi elimhlophe nalo lalivaliwe.“Ngiyakuzonda ukupheka nomsebenzi wasendlini,” kusho uDebra.
Uthanda ukuphuma.Uthanda ukuhlala ekhaya.Bayahlanya ngomunye nomunye, ngakho bayayekethisa: isikhathi esiningi, bayaphuma.Ndawonye bakha umhlaba wabo omncane wothando.Umphathele izimbali.Washiya incwadi esikhwameni sakhe.Wafaka ummese wokuzingela ebhokisini lakhe lobucwebe.
Baneminyaka eyisithupha beshadile (akukho zinhlelo zokuba nezingane);onyakeni wesihlanu wokusungulwa kwawo, avuselela izifungo zawo eKona, eHawaii.Umkhahleli weThe Bears uKevin Butler kanye naye Unkosikazi wakhe, uCathy, basebenza njengoweta wabo.Bavame ukuqedela imisho yomunye nomunye, nakuba bengahambelani ngaso sonke isikhathi nezinhloso zesikhulumi sokuqala.Lokhu kuholela ku-loop-back, ingxoxo yereferensi, okuyingqungquthela yesi-Georgian ne-Gracie, isitayela saseningizimu.
Ucabanga ukuthi ubuhlobo babo buyi-karma.Ukuhlangana noDebra kwashintsha sonke isimo sakhe sengqondo.Uthe: “Uma uwumdlalo, qala ngokunaka imizwa yakhe, bese ucabanga ngawe.”“Uhlale uyibeka kumapharamitha ka-Awu, uma ngifuna ukuyenza lento izomthinta kanjani??”
Wacabanga ukuthi kukhona ibhere elimnandi emdondoshiya.“Lapho ngihlanganyela emqhudelwaneni wonobuhle, ngobunye ubusuku ngagqoka ingubo futhi ngadonsa umphetho-”
Uthanda ukuphuma.Uthanda ukuhlala ekhaya.Bayahlanya ngomunye nomunye, ngakho bayayekethisa: isikhathi esiningi, bayaphuma.
Wathi: “Usho indlela yokuphuma futhi wasayina ikhadi le-bubble gum.”“Wathenga intambo nezinaliti esitolo, wabe esebuya ezosonga ingubo yami yakusihlwa.Ngoba wayazi ukuthi kufanele ngiyigqoke ngakusasa ebusuku.Igebe elingama-intshi amathathu engutsheni yobuhlalu.Kumthathe amahora ambalwa.”
"Iphi leyo ngubo ebomvu?"Kubuza uSteve avele aphele amahloni.“Kungani ngingambonisi umphetho omuhle engiwufakile?”
U-Debra wabaleka, wabe esevela futhi engubeni yobuhlalu enamajika athambile kanye nomphetho othungiwe oqondile."Manje, akhona amanye amadoda angenza lokhu?"ebuza.
UDebra wazama ukumchazela.“Le yindlela abantu abahlala ngayo eTexas.Ngaphandle uma benomsindo ngeke bajabule.”
Uthe: “Ngezinye izikhathi angihleki, kodwa ngihlale ngicasukile.”Wabubula abantu abavamise ukuqondwa kabi.“Ngiyizwe.Futhi angifuni ukushintsha.Ngiyababona laba abafaniswayo, abathayi, abafana abahloliwe emhubheni womoya lapha, futhi ngiyacabanga, oh cha, akumina, mfowethu.”
Ngakho-ke, wethusa abantu.Uthanda ukusabela okubuthakathaka angakuveza.Sekuwumkhuba manje;wavula umlomo wagxumela phezulu ngemizuzu nje!Umuntu uzizwa ehlukile ngokuthile.
Lokhu wakwenza ngoba engathandi isithukuthezi.“Ehlukile, akunjalo?Kuyabheda maye.Angikhathali ukuthi abanye bathini, uhleka ezinye zezinto zami.Manje, esikhathini esizayo, ungase ucabange, Jeez, kufanele ngibe isilima, hleka kanje—”
Unomkhuba wakhe: ngosuku lomdlalo, kufanele agqoke izingubo zangaphansi ezifanayo ezimnyama kanye namasokisi afanayo amnyama enkundleni yezemidlalo.Futhi kufanele ahambe enkundleni amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokuqala komdlalo, enanela i-hashtag.Uma sekuqedwe noma iyiphi ingxenye yeyunifomu yakhe, uyayizonda.Wenqaba ukulahla ibhulukwe alikhonzile kwaze kwaba yilapho izinqe zakhe ziqhekezeka ngesikhathi ehamba emdlalweni weTampa Bay.Yize kunjalo kodwa ubesacela ukuba zilungiswe (wayenovalo lokuthi kuzoletha amabhadi kulaba abasha), kodwa babekude kakhulu.
Futhi angaba umfana onolaka.Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, ubambe iqhaza empini yokudla okufana nendlu yezilwane emdlalweni wegalofu owawubanjelwe ekilabhini yasemaphandleni.Uthe: “Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngiyafuna yini ukuyiqala, kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi bengihlale ngikuyo.”
Bese kuba khona ukuveza kwakhe ummese esidlangalaleni."USigmund Freud angasho ukuthi lolu uphawu lwepipi, akunjalo?"uthe.Uthe inhloko yommese imane nje iyinsalela yenkathi yezwe lakubo.Abanye, okuhlanganisa noGarry Meier, umlingiswa esiteshini somsakazo i-WLUP-AM, babesatshiswa ngempela uMcMichael.
“O, ngoba bengithi ngizobanqamula,” esho emamatheka.“Ngicabanga ukuthi nami nganginaso isibhamu ku-Garry Meier, akunjalo?”Lesi sigameko senzeke ngesikhathi uMcMichael ehlangana noMeier enhlanganweni esiza abantulayo.UMeier nozakwabo uSteve Dahl bacasukile (noma bazenza sengathi bayiqiniso) ngalawa mazwi asakazwa bukhoma.UMcMichael waveza izikhali zabo wathi, “Wena nomngane wakho oyisidudla Kungcono ungabe usakhuluma ngami.”
"Oh, zingama-props nje," kusho uMcMichael namuhla.“Ummese wenjoloba kanye nesibhamu samanzi.(“Leso isikhali sangempela,” kusho uMeyer. “Mayelana nophawu lomthondo, isibhamu sikaMcMichael siwukuqeda ubuthi.”)
”Inkomo.Bonke bakha iqembu elincane futhi babhala ukuphawula okufanayo okuphambene ngokuphindaphindiwe.”
“Uma eshintsha isitayela ngezikhathi ezithile, uzothakaselwa kakhulu.Angase athandeke futhi abe nokuqonda, kodwa akanalo iqiniso.”
”Maduze bazosenzela amasudi nezicathulo zesikhumba.Noma ngabe yiliphi iqembu elixhawula kakhulu, yibona abawinile kulo mdlalo.
Lapho ekhula futhi ebuyela eFreer, eTexas, izibani ezikhanyayo zazihlala njalo ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku.Leso kwakuyisikhathi somdlalo webhola lezinyawo esikoleni samabanga aphezulu.
UMcMichael uyakhumbula: “Lapho, abantu baphila futhi bafa.”Okufanayo kuya emndenini wakhe.Uyise u-EV ungumphathi womhlaba we-oilfield, kanti umama wakhe uBetty unguthisha wesiNgisi.Unina wathi ungowesibili ezinganeni ezine, “usana olujabule olufuna ukugona nokuhleka ngaso sonke isikhathi.”Lapho eqala ukusho ukuthi wayefuna ukudlala kuphela (wayeneminyaka engu-7 noma engu-8 kuphela ngaleso sikhathi), abazali bakhe bathi kwakumnandi-inqobo nje uma egcina amamaki akhe.Abafuni abe nekusasa elingcono.(Umfowabo uRichard usengunjiniyela kagesi eHouston. Uzibandakanya kwezemidlalo. USteve uthe: “Uyingcweti. Unengqondo futhi nginamandla.”
Lapho akha iqembu, abantu bakhe babehlale beseduze kwakhe.Wabumba wonke amaqembu;esikoleni esiphakeme, wabhala izincwadi ebholeni, basketball, baseball, tennis, kanye ne-track and field.Ubuye adlale igalofu.(“Umama wayejola ngezikhathi ezithile,” kukhumbula unina, “kodwa wayengumsubathi ophelele, ekhathele kangangokuthi wayengakwazi ukuphuma.”) Lapho ehlanganyela emdlalweni webhola likanobhutshuzwayo oneNkanyezi Yezihlabani, uyise. uqashe ikamelo.Ngebhasi, abangani bomndeni baya e-Houston beyomjabulisa.
Wamukelwe amanyuvesi angama-75.Ekugcineni, wayeka inkontileka ye-baseball yeligi encane neSt. ukukhahlela.(Kusukela lapho, akekho esifundazweni oke wamfanisa.)
Lapho ethweswa iziqu, wabhalwa yi-New England Patriots.Ngemva kokusayina inkontileka yakhe yokuqala yobungcweti, watshela unina ukuthi umthengele i-Cadillac entsha-wamtshela ukuthi amehlo akhe aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.Akakwazanga ukuzibamba ezwa ukuthi kuseyisiqalo lesi.
Wathi: “Ngangibizwa njengomuntu ohluphayo.”“Lezi yizinsuku zami zakudala.Ngingumfana ohlezi ekhona.I-Patriots yayingomakadebona emkhakheni wokuvikela ngaleso sikhathi.Ngicabanga ukuthi bacabanga ukuthi angigxilile ngokwanele.”
Ibhele lamqukula lazinza lasebenza ngendlela yalo.“Uzimisele ngebhola,” kusho umgadli uKevin Butler (Kevin Butler).“Bonke abanye abadlali bayamhlonipha ngoba wenze kahle kuyona yonke imidlalo.Uhleleke kakhulu.Hhayi-ke, uhlelekile njengomfana olungile. "
Ibhele eselathatha umhlalaphansi uGary Fencik wengeze wathi: “Mina noSteve sijoyine amaBhele ngemva kokuxoshwa ngamanye amaqembu.Ngesinye isikhathi ngabona umnyango wokuphuma-nawe kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakho.“
Ngokomzimba, uMcMichael akamkhulu njengamanye amabhola okuzivikela kwiligi.Wakwenza ngokuzimisela nokuqeqeshwa kwesisindo esiningi.(Angakwazi ukucindezela ebhentshini amakhilogremu angu-525.) Ngaphezu kwalokho, amehlo akhe nokunyakaza nakho kunamandla kakhulu.Kuhle kakhulu, ngoba konke abekade efuna ukukwenza kwakuwukudlala ibhola.Ukuphuma enkundleni futhi abe umdlali, ngisho nokusebenza kanzima, lonke igazi lebhola kanye nobumnandi obuhlanzekile bokujuluka nokucwila kuye, isasasa alikaze liphele.
Uke waba yi-tomboy.Emuva eTuscaloosa, e-Alabama, wayithanda indlu esesihlahleni, washaya umzala wakhe uPhillip, futhi washibilika ngebhayisikili i-Honda QA 50.“Khona-ke, angazi, ngashintsha kusukela esikoleni esiphakeme,” kusho uDebra.
Ubaba wakhe u-WJ Marshall usebenza efektri yensimbi.Umama wakhe, u-Ann, ungumhlengikazi.Lapho beshada, u-Ann wayeneminyaka engu-16 kanti uWJ enama-38. (“O, eNingizimu,” kusho uSteve.) UDebra unguthunjana futhi ubuthakathaka ezinganeni zabo ezinhlanu.Uyavuma: “Ngangikuthanda ukukuhlanganisa ngisemncane kakhulu.”(Usakwenza. Muva nje, owesifazane othile uthole umndeni wakwaMcMichael endaweni yokudlela emaphakathi nedolobha. "Unenhlanhla yokushada naye." Owesifazane utshele uDebra. "Cha, ube nenhlanhla ukuba nami," kuphendula uDebra. UDebra wathi kumngane wakhe, futhi lo muntu angamazi waqhubeka: “Kungcono leya ntombazane inqamule, kungenjalo kuzodingeka ngiyishaye.”
Ufunde ohlelweni lokukhangisa lweNyuvesi yase-Alabama eTuscaloosa.Wabe esenquma ukuvakashela amazwe athile, ngakho waba isisebenzi sendiza ye-American Airlines futhi wathuthela eChicago.
Lapho uSteve eseneminyaka emithathu umakadebona we-Bears, unina nodadewabo beza eChicago bezombukela edlala.Unina uyakhumbula: “Angikaze ngimbone owesifazane phakathi nalokho kuvakasha.Ngathi kuye: 'Iphi indlu yakho yabesifazane?'Wathi, “Mama, angicabangi ukuthi kukhona owesifazane ohloniphekile lapho.Ngathi, “Ukhona, kodwa ngeke umthole esitulweni sokuphuzela utshwala noma ehholo lokubhukuda.”“
Kunalokho, lapho ebuyisela umkhaya wakhe eTexas ngendiza, wamthola e-O'Hare.Acele udadewabo ukuthi afonele isisebenzi sasendizeni, qede axege idolo.Ngaphambi kokuba udadewabo angakwazi ukukwenza, unina wakwenza.
Wamfonela emva kwezinsuku ezimbili.Wayevele ethanda ukuthi ungowaseningizimu, wayemuhle futhi ephile saka.Ngosuku lokuqala, wamthatha nge-El-dorado eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka wamyisa ku-Kelly Mondelli, lapho abeka eceleni isithombe eduze komdwebo odongeni.Itafula.Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kamuva, beza eLas Vegas ngasese futhi bashada eChapel of the Bells.
Selokhu ashada, uDebra ubesebenza njengemodeli eTexas naseChicago.(Isithombe asithanda kakhulu uSteve ukumenza abukeke njengekati lekati yocansi, u-Ann Margaret.) Ngo-1987, wawina umncintiswano we-Lady Illinois.NgoSepthemba walo nyaka, waqala ukuqeqeshwa kwekota ngoMsombuluko ekuseni noRobert Murphy ku-WKQX, 101.1 FM.
Yize ejwayele ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi nomyeni wakhe, eminyakeni yamuva nje, uDebra useke wasebenzela izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi zaseChicago.Kulekwindla, ubambe iqhaza kuMkhosi Wophawu Lwephasika.Ubambe iqhaza ku-AAIM (Alliance for Drunk Motorists);uhlela ukuqongelela imali yewadi yezingane yase-University of Illinois Chicago Hospital.
Uthanda ukuthenga (“Uyazi ukuthi abantu besifazane baseningizimu bathenga kanjani?” kubuza uSteve. “Uma uthengisa, uzothola amabili”), ukugijima, ukupenda nokuzulazula nezintombi.Amalungu ahlotshiswe ngesikhumba e-Kotex Mafia ahlanganisa u-Eleanor Mondale, indodakazi yalowo owayeyiphini likamongameli, owayeshade noKeith Van Horn, owayengumdlali weBellsney;Umyeni kaRebecca Besser uCharlie ungumnikazi we-InterSport, inkampani ekhiqiza izimpahla zemidlalo.UCathy Butler ubheka uDebra “njengomunye wabangane abathakazelisa kakhulu nabathembekile ongabacela.”
Uthe: “Isikhathi sami esihle kakhulu bekuseSuper Bowl, kodwa umnyakazo wami ohlakaniphe kakhulu kwaba wukuzinikela kuye.”
Uthe: “Angiyazisi ngokwanele iSuper Bowl.Ngacabanga nje, akukuhle lokhu?Sizobuyela lapha minyaka yonke.”
Lapho engena eNeiman-Marcus, uMongo waphazanyiswa ikhawunta yezimonyo.Waphakamisa ishubhu elibonisa i-lipstick futhi wathi ngezwi elingamanga: “O, ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuwumthunzi omuhle kimi.”Umdayisi akakhombisanga zimpawu zokuvuma.Kubo, wayeyindoda nje egqoke ingubo enkulu egqoke isudi kasilika emhlophe nebhande le-Kieselstein-Cord, futhi wayefuna ukufaka izimonyo zakhe.Amdedele.
Phezulu, kufanele azame uku-oda izingubo ezintsha ze-Go Silk.Kodwa izingubo zibonakala zisendleleni.Wapheqa ishalofu.Akukho okwavusa isithakazelo sakhe.
"Kwenzenjani mtanami?"I-Debra inikeze amahembe anemibala egqamile, anephethini ecebile."Ngifuna ukukubona lapha."
"Yebo, nge-Halloween."Kwaba lokho kuye.“Woza,” esho kuDebra, elula isandla sakhe, “Kungcono ngikutholele okuthile.”
Emuva esitezi sesibili, bama esitolo sezinto ze-Chanel, wabe esethatha isikweletu sika-$350 sikaDebra.“Baby, uyakudinga lokhu.”Wakhokha kuqala wabe esehambisa isikhwama sokuthenga eduze nesitolo.
UMcMichaels uhambe ebambene ngezandla waya ekhawuntani yeJudith Leiber, lapho uSteve athanda khona isikhwama sakusihlwa esigcwele ama-rhinestones.Kodwa uDebra wayengenaso isiqiniseko.Baqhubeka nokugqoka izigqoko zabo babuyela ekhawunta yeChanel, lapho uSteve ekhethela uDebra izibuko zelanga zekati.Umonakalo ngalesi sikhathi: $250.Uthe: “Ngithanda ukuchitha imali ngithengela izingane.Wayebukeka ezimisele.
Emgwaqeni, insizwa enovalo ene-TV encane esihlakaleni yawa eduze kukaMcMichael.Nakuba amehlo akhe engakaze abonakale eshiya i-TV, lo mfana waqaphela uMcMichael.“Ngingumlandeli oqotho,” esho, esagxile kumabonakude wakhe.
UMcMichael abuke lo ahamba naye, aphakamise amashiya, athule.“AmaJason!!!”
Engakaze abheke kude nomndeni kaJason, umfana wazamazama.“Usele.”UMcMichael wamangala futhi.“Balahle i-QB exakile futhi abasadingi ubumnandi nobumnandi-”
U-McMichaels no-Ditkas bobabili babegqoke kahle-u-Debra ngamajakhethi esikhumba e-harlequin amnyama, abomvu namhlophe, u-Steve ogqoke isudi ensundu ye-Go Silk, umqeqeshi kanye no-Diana emithunzi ehambisanayo yethusi nomzingeli oluhlaza-kodwa babengenandawo abangaya kuyo.Esikhundleni salokho, balinda kuleli gumbi eliluhlaza le-WBBM-TV ukuze kufike u-Johnny Morris, usokhaya wezemidlalo we-Channel 2 kanye noBear wangaphambili ukuba bafike.Ngemva kwalokho, bazokwazi ukuqopha i-“Mike Ditka Show” yaleli sonto (I-Mike Ditka Show).
Lolu hlelo ludlala njalo ngeSonto ngo-11 ekuseni kule sizini;ihlanganisa u-Ditka noMorris bexoxa ngomdlalo wangesonto eledlule, ilungu leqembu (elikhethwe nguDitka), kanye nabalandeli besitudiyo abashisekayo.Ungaluphambanisi nohlelo lwesifinyezo sohlelo lwezemidlalo lwangeSonto lwe-“Morris-Ditka”, oluqhudelana ngqo nokusebenza kukaMcMichael no-Giangreco ngo-10:30 pm.
Izindonga zaleli gumbi eliluhlaza empeleni ziluhlaza.Bajikijela umlingisi onyantisayo, onesiphithiphithi ebusweni ekamelweni.Wonke umuntu wabonakala ephazamisekile kancane.Noma bangase bavaleleke ethangini lezinhlanzi.
Ngezinye izikhathi, kulezi zinsuku, uMcMichael akakwazi ukuzibamba ukuzizwa ngaleyo ndlela.Konke kuyamangalisa.Uyini yena?Ufuna ukwazi.I-gladiator yaseRoma noma umdlali webhola?
Iqembu le-ESPN selilapha, libheke nekhamera yakhe futhi, elingazange lisize.Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwegumbi, kukhona le ntatheli.“Hawu, uye lapho wabhala izinto,” esho ephotha ekugcineni kwezinwele zakhe ngesandla esisodwa ebamba ezikaDebra ngesinye.“Ungenze ngaba novalo ngalelo peni.Uzozama ukungenza ngifane nohlobo oluthile lwenadi ngoba ngiphotha izinwele zami.”
Akekho owamnaka.Izintokazi zikhuluma ngemfashini.U-Ditka ubukele i-"Wheel of Fortune" ku-TV.Wayehlafuna ushingamu futhi egqolozele ngolaka, njengokungathi wayeyitholile impendulo yokuthula emhlabeni—noma icala lokucasula abanye.
“Uyazi, ngizwile ukuthi u-Fan Na wayengakhethi izingubo ayezigqoka kulowo mdlalo,” kusho u-Diana Ditka enqekuzisa ikhanda ku-TV.
Manje, u-Diana waqala ukuncokola noSteve.“Steve, kungcono ufunde ulimi lwakho namuhla ebusuku.Bazokulungisela umdumo.”
Njengoba “Isondo Lenhlanhla” laliphela, uDitka wema izikhathi ezimbalwa ekamelweni.“Hhayi-ke, wangincenga ukuthi ngibukele uhlelo lukaCoach ngalobo busuku,” akashongo lutho.Ecabanga nje, anikine ikhanda athimula.“Mfana, isilima leso.”
Lapho ekugcineni efika uMorris, wonke umuntu waphuthuma esitudiyo.Yayigcwele abantu abashisekayo bamaBhele: abantu babegqoke ama-sweatshirts, amabhantshi nezigqoko ezifana namakhanda amabhere.Othile unewashi noma ibhokisi lomculo elidlala inguqulo encane enensayo ye-"Bear Down, Chicago Bears".Izinga lamandla liyinkohliso, sengathi iSuper Bowl isanda kunqotshwa amabhere kuleli gumbi.
U-Ditka wayekude kakhulu esikhathini esingeside esidlule kangangokuthi kwakufanele aye ku-Mars, kodwa ngokuzumayo wabonakala elula ukusondela futhi wahlekwa ngisho nalesi sigameko.Uthe: “Manje, i-ESPN yenza uhlelo olukhethekile no-Steve ukuvumela izethameli zidlale,” ngakho zama ukwenza imibuzo yakho ihlakaniphe.Wathula kancane.“Ngakho-ke, ngeke uthole izimpendulo.“Wonke umuntu-kuhlanganisa nomqeqeshi uhlulwa wukuzibamba.
Uhlelo luqala futhi luqhubeke njengoba iziqeshana zemuvi, amazwana, nemibuzo iqhubeka.Bese kuyisikhathi sezivakashi kuleli sonto.Lapho uMorris ethula uMcMichael, izethameli zaphendula amakhanda.Ngalesi sikhathi, ubeyiqholo nenjabulo yabadlali base-Illinois, njengoba kwasho ingoma yetimu yeBears.
Lapho ihlombe seliphelile, uMcMichael wahlala esihlalweni sakhe wabheka uMorris.“Ngingamthengela uJohnny isipontshi?”esho ekhomba uMorris esiphongweni.“Ujulukile.Johnny, awudingi ukujuluka kakhulu.Ngizoba umfana omuhle."
U-Morris, ngenkulumo engacacile, welula izingalo zakhe zivundlile futhi wenza ukunyakaza okujwayelekile "okusika".Wabuka umthwebuli wezithombe kanye nomdidiyeli wayesethi, “Qala futhi.”Isitudiyo besigcwele isiphithiphithi.“Angikuthandi lokho,” kusho uMorris kuMcMichael ngokhahlo, njengothisha ebela izingane ezinezinkinga imisebenzi.“Angidlali;lokhu akuwona umsebenzi we-Giangreco."
Kube negagasi elithi “oh” ezilalelini.Okwesikhashana, kunzima ukusho ukuthi ukuzwela kwabo (noma uzwela lukaDitka) luphi.“Awu, uyajuluka,” kusho uDitka ephakamisa amahlombe.
Ingxenye yaqala futhi, kulokhu, lapho uMcMichael wethulwa, izethameli zangena esimweni esiyinhloko.Bayameseka lomfana omubi.Lapho ekugcineni ukuklabalasa nokushaya izandla sekunyamalele, uMcMichael wathi: “Johnny, ngicabanga ukuthi laba bantu bayangithanda.”
Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, uhlelo lwaqhubeka ngaphandle kwesigameko.Khona-ke, kwaqala ingxenye yemakethe entsha, futhi uMorris wabuza uMcMichael: “Ingabe uthanda ukudlala kakhulu manje kunalokho owawukwenza eminyakeni embalwa edlule?”
“O, kunjalo,” ephendula.“Ngiyakwazi engikwenzayo manje.Umusha, uyisiphukuphuku, futhi uyakhangisa—”
Ngemuva kwemizuzwana embalwa, i-pandemonium izoxebuka.U-Morris waphakamisa izingalo zakhe ngobudlova futhi wamisa ukusebenza.UDietka wayehleka.UMcMichael wenza sengathi umsulwa intende yakhe ibheke phezulu."Ngabe lokho akulungile?"uthe.“Qala phansi,” kusho uMorris.
Lapho ingxenye iqala futhi, uMorris weqa noma yini ukuze abuze uMcMichael ngokuqondile.Eqinisweni, embukisweni olandelayo, ngeke akhulume noMcMichael.Kunalokho, waphonsa inhlolokhono ezilalelini.Ngakho-ke, kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba sekupheleni.
Khona-ke, ephasishi le-WBBM-TV, uMcMichael noMorris bawela umzila okokugcina.Elula isandla uMorris.Yeqa izigqi ezimbalwa aze anikine ikhanda uMcMichael.“Uxolo, angikwazi ukusebenzisa ezinye zazo,” kusho uMorris.
"Manje, kungani kufanele ngidabuke?"Ebuza, izwi lakhe lanele ukulithwala.“Ungumdlali webhola omdala nje.”
“Uyazi, uJohnny Morris akakwazanga ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zami ngonyaka odlule,” kusho uSteve.Lobu ngobusuku obulandelayo, endlini kaMcMichael, ngiqunga isibindi ngesigameko sika-Morris, futhi ngihlangana kabusha nesikhwama samashidi amazambane abhakiwe.“Ngesikhathi ngelula isandla sami enkanjini yokuqeqesha?Wangifonela ekhaya wangicela ukuthi ngimnike isipuni.”
Ehlobo lika-1989 no-1990, uMcMichael wabambezela ukubika emakethe yamabhere.Uzama ukuphinda axoxisane nenkontileka yakhe nge-ejenti yaseTexas u-Larry Bales, kodwa inkontileka ayikaze isebenze.
Ukuphikelela kwaba yimpumelelo ngokwengxenye futhi kwamnyusela iholo.Nakuba uMcMichael enqabile ukudalulwa igama (uzothi kuphela “okuncane kunokuncane, okuncane kunabanye”), abangaphakathi embonini bakholelwa ukuthi umholo wakhe ovela emakethe yamabhere ungama-$600,000.(Kanye mayelana ne-$ 50,000 evela ku-WMAQ.) Nakuba iholo le-NFL lokuzivikela lingenakuqhathaniswa nomholo wama-quarterbacks aphezulu kanye nonogada, akuyona iholo elimangalisayo ikakhulukazi, ikakhulukazi kuMcMichael (McMichael) Ngokuphathelene nobukhulu nokuvumelana.
“Angicabangi ukuthi kukhona abakwiligi abanemali eyanele yokwenza esikwenzayo.Ukuze kujabulise abanye, lokhu kungase kubangele umonakalo unomphela emzimbeni wakho.Angazi.Angifuni ukuba wonke umuntu, ngoba uma ngizizwa nginecala uma ngifaka yonke le mali ebhange, lowo mfana uzozibulala khona.”
Ubephuke ubambo (uthunge ibhande lesihlalo), iqakala lakheka, ukuqina kwendololwane, wopha engalweni, igazi ligobhoza nebhulukwe emlenzeni webhulukwe.Uhlinzwe amadolo kasithupha, kodwa akakaze aphuthe ukuwa.Kodwa wayazi ukuthi wayengeke akwazi ukuqhubeka unomphela.
Wenza ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhle (okuhlanganisa iScholz Garden, indawo yokucima ukoma eyavulwa nguye ne-ejenti yakhe e-Austin);wayazi ukuthi ngemuva kokudlala ibhola, kwakungadingeki asebenze ukuze aziphilise.Wayecabanga, mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ajoyine i-World Wrestling Federation.ngokwethembeka.Uthe: “Mina noWilliam Perry, sizofaka iqembu eliyingqopha-mlando enkingeni.Isiqiniseko sakhe kuphela ukuthi ukuphila emhlabeni wangempela (okungukuthi, ukuphila ngaphandle kwebhola) kuyamethusa.
“Ngoba abantu abaningi abasifanele isikhathi sakho.Bagebenga, bajikijele izinto, futhi bahlala endaweni enedaka endlini yengilazi. "
Lowo muntu ongaphandle.Ngaphakathi, kukhona abangani bakhe (uButler, uPerry, uFinch, umlingisi uJim Belushi), umkakhe, nezinja ezintathu namakati amathathu alele embhedeni njalo ebusuku.
UMcMichael noButler bangena ngomnyango ongaphambili, bajikijela ama-hello ambalwa, base bevula i-corkscrew ezitebhisini ezivunguzayo.Ngemva kwesikhashana, umsindo we-stereo ogobile nomsindo wamabhola e-pool wantanta phezulu.
Lolu wusuku lwesibili ngemuva komdlalo wokuqala weqembu wangoMsombuluko ebusuku wesizini;okwamangaza wonke umuntu, kuhlanganisa nezawo, amaBhele ehlula amaJets aseNew York ngesikhathi esengeziwe.Indlela eya empumelelweni iqale ngomzuzu wokugcina nohhafu, ngesikhathi uMcMichael ehlwitha unogada weJet uBlair Thomas wawela lapho.Ngemuva kwesexwayiso semizuzu emibili, kungokwesithathu uMcMike edlala ku-inthanethi kule sizini enamasonto amane ubudala.
Ngakho ukhathele kakhulu namuhla.Ngenkathi u-Debra ethi iqembu lamafilimu e-WMAQ-TV lizokwenza inhlolokhono bukhoma ngo-5 ntambama, wayehlanya kancane.“Mfana, uyangiphonsa emaphephandabeni, akunjalo?”uthe.
Nokho kunento afuna ukungikhombisa yona.Leli ikhadi lakamuva likaSteve McMichael bubble gum.Ngaphambili kunesithombe esigcwele ubude bakhe esenzweni, sinegama lakhe kanye nenombolo 76 phezulu;ngemuva, ikhadi lihlukaniswe kabili, ngesidalwa sikaMcMichael ngakolunye uhlangothi nesithombe esiseduze ngakolunye.Ingabe leso akusona isithombe sokulwa kwebhele langaphambili uDan Hampton?
I-TV yayivuliwe;yena noButler baqala ukubuka izindaba ngo-4:30.Indaba esemqoka imayelana nokunqoba kwamaBhele.Eqinisweni, ukusakazwa kwezindaba okuningi kumayelana nomdlalo.Babukane noButler.Kubo, lezi yizindaba, futhi ziyizihloko zezindaba kwenye indawo edolobheni.
Imibiko kumabonakude iphinde ihlale ivela: ukubuyekezwa kwemigwaqo mayelana nemidlalo;ukusabela kwabantu ezindaweni zokudlela;indela yaphikelela ngokuthi uNkulunkulu ungumlandeli wamabhere.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukudlala kabusha lezo zikhathi zokugcina ezishaya inhliziyo ngokuphindaphindiwe njalo kuqala ngezenzo ezinkulu zikaMcMichael.
Kancane kancane, lapho ekubuka konke lokhu, ushintsho oluncane lwavela ebusweni bukaMcMichael.Ubekhuluma ngathi kanye nabo ngaphakathi nangaphandle.Kodwa manje wayesebukeka njengomuntu, ebona into entsha futhi ekude.Nakuba wayengenandaba kangako kodwa wayesakubona.Wathi, “Lokhu kuyindaba enkulu ngempela, akunjalo?”
