Eddy “Dinero” Pineiro

For fans of the Chicago bears today they are feeling vindicated. They are feeling absolved from a heartbreaking loss that is echoed by the two words uttered from Chris Collinsworth’s voice “Double-Doink”. Last year in the NFC wild card game of the NFL Playoffs the Chicago Bears were sent home in a heartbreaking fashion. Their who at the beginning of the 2018 NFL season was thought to be the rope to pull them from their pit of kicking misery that they have been in since the release of fan favorite Robbie Gould. Cody Parkey was the savior from Florida and he quickly displayed he was not the man we thought he was and wildly inaccurate, actually hitting the uprights of the field goal post multiple times. It became wildly obvious he would be the downfall of this team. On that cold January night in the NFC wild card game he truly outdid himself and managed to miss a 43 yard field goal and hit the left upright and the crossbar as time expired on the clock to bounce the Chicago Bears from the playoffs. To add insult to injury the day after destroying the hopes of the Midway, Cody Parkey went to New York to appear on Good Morning America to talk about his missed field goal. To fans it seemed like he was wearing it as almost a badge of honor. To the organization they were also upset by his performance and post game antics. They decided they would rather pay him the remainder of his contract money to not play for them. He was so bad that the Chicago Bears agreed to pay Cody Parkey $5 million dollars to just not work their anymore. This left the Bears with the heartburn of not winning in the playoffs, and having to endure longer into the pit of kicking misery that the South Beach Savior was supposed to be their life line.

This off-season for the Bears news around them was entirely quiet except for one position, that's right the Kicker position. The Bears took a completely unorthodox approach to finding their new kicker. They invited over 10 kickers to compete for the job. They used the haunting memories of the 43 yard “Double Doink” and a strange set of circumstances to identify and find their new kicker. During the final stages of the competition Chicago made a trade with the Oakland Raiders for a young unheralded kicker named Eddy Pineiro who also hails from Florida. Oakland agreed to send the strong legged kicker to Chicago for a conditional seventh round pick (meaning that if he did not make the team for Chicago he would not cost the bears the seventh round pick). This trade was for proverbial peanuts in the NFL, meaning he would not cost anything if he was not very good. Piniero was cast aside, given away for nothing that gave him a chip on his shoulder as he stated in interviews and it gave him the swagger that Chicago adored. He eventually went on to win the kicking competition beating out the other 11 kickers.

Since wining the kicking job Eddie Piniero has been perfect in the first game and the second game. However, it was what happened with one second on the clock and 53 yards from the goal post that absolved the city of Chicago, cast a life ring into the pit of despair they have toiled in for 5 years. He hit a game winning field goal to lift the Chicago Bears over the Denver Broncos. This type of clutch effort is not something the team has seen since the years of Robbie Gould, Paul Edinger, and Kevin Butler. But for the time being it seems all wrongs have been righted for the Bears, and they finally have the Special Teams Ace they have hungered for. The legend of Eddy “Dinero” Pineiro is growing and the young confident kicker is Chicago’s golden child among the ranks of Toews, Kane, Baez, and Mack until his next kick.
