They're not selling booze in Giants Stadium for the Jets / Pats game Monday night. They are still selling packs of razor blades and bathtubs full of warm water.
Congrats to the Houston Texans. Let the D'brickshaw Ferguson era begin!
For all those people who were on the "but Kyle Orton just wins" bandwagon, here's a stat for you: Kyle Orton got credited for a win Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
I've said it a thousand times...wins are the wrong way to job a quarterback in the same way wins are the wrong way to judge a starting pitcher in baseball. There are too many elements out of that position's control. Kyle Orton is the Aaron Small of the NFL.
How come every time we see a team on national television completely failing to tackle it's the Kansas City Chiefs?
I really hope every Bears fan got a chance to watch the Packers be humiliated last night. It was great. And John Madden spent the entirety of the second half essentially calling the Pack "quitters."
SHUT UP ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS, ESPN! SHUT UP. STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM! You why I don't care about their win over the Colts? Because they lost to the Dolphins at home the week before. Why are people so intent on making excuses for this team?
How many magazine covers does Shaun Alexander have to make before people stop calling him the "player you've never heard of." Listen idiots, this is a fantasy football dominated culture. Every single NFL fan in the country knows not only who Shaun Alexander is but how many touchdowns he's scored the last five seasons. And this whole - BUT THEY PLAY ALL THE WAY OUT IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON thing is just ludicrous.
If the Patriots beat the Colts in the divisional round of the playoffs, is that the funniest thing to ever happen in sports?
If I was ever going to bring back the minstrel show to popular culture, all I'd have to do is study tape of Michael Irvin on Monday Night Countdown.
Listen everyone knows I detest Brett Favre but don't the Packers have to turn to Aaron Rodgers down the stretch here to see what they have. How many seasons will you sacrifice to Favre's legend status?
I like Charlie Frye.
I love Rex Grossman.
I know it didn't seem like that big a deal but I think it's pretty impressive that over a thousand people gave up a few hours of their day in Detroit Sunday to protest their general manager still having a job.
Funniest development in football this year: Jim Haslett asking for a five-year extension and complete control in New Orleans. In similar news, Chad Hutchinson has requested the franchise tag from the Bears.
With two weeks left in the season, here are my awards:
MVP - Shaun Alexander
Offensive Player of the Year - Steve Smith
Defensive Player of the Year - Brian Urlacher
Offensive Rookie of the Year - Cadillac vs. Ronnie (whoever finishes with more yards)
Defensive Rookie of he Year - Shawn Merriman barely over Lofa Tatupu
Coach of the Year - Lovie Smith
If I'm Tony Dungy, I go out and beat the Seahawks this weekend and start resting on Sunday.
Anybody know how to drive a subway train?
The second seed in the NFC is an absolute necessity for the Chicago Bears. I just don't see how any of these NFC teams are going to come into that stadium and beat them. That puts them an upset against Seattle (more than likely) away from home field throughout. Oh god, here I go again...
If the '72 Dolphins played in this year's NFL they'd be 8-8 at best.
I love John Madden but the Packers are not a couple moves away from being the best team in the NFC North again.
If you were to make a list of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this year, how long would it take for you to get to an NFC guy?
Peyton, Palmer, Brady, Plummer, Trent Green...
Mike Green is the Aaron Brooks of safeties. He sucks but occasionally he does something that makes you stop and marvel at how gifted he is.
Merry Christmas.
#2 jeff said . . .All I heard from ESPN iswhat the Colts did not do to lose that game. I did not hear any credit given to the Charger's defense for domniating the so called best offense in the NFL. If the "Da Bears" had a quarter of the offense the Chargers have, they would actually ahve a chance at going to the Super Bowl.

#3 Chad said . . .The "so-called" best offense in the NFL? That's a bit of a rash criticism...this is one of the best offenses in the history of the NFL. They played poorly this week - dropped passes, missed blocks. The Colts also fumbled a kick return on their own five yardline.

Hello Everyone,
My wife was finally able to kick the habit before she got pregnant with our now first born beautiful baby gilr, so I tought I'll share the resource that she has used to help her quit the smoking habit with as many people as I can.
She was a heavy smoker for about ten years and just a couple of weeks after finding out about the program that I have researched online, she was able to quit smoking permanently and now can't stop telling people about how she had kicked the habit for good.
Anyway if you want to check it out, here is the site that my wife has used to help her quit smoking; http://endthehabitnow.comJuly 27, 2007
Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
