I'm live blogging this game for about as long as I can stand it (which might be about a quarter) or until I switch my face over to NC State vs. Spurrier in the first actual football game of the year. Note: I'm listening to Joniak on WBBM and watching some funky European stream where they keep referring to this as a "match".
7:32 - WBBM commercial just said, "If you drive drunk, you mine as well have the word 'loser' tattoed across your forehead." Can you imagine if that was the actual punishment for a DUI? Nobody would EVER drive drunk.
7:34 - National Anthem. Remind me, if I ever meet you, to show you what "ramparts" is in sign language.
7:35 - Orton and Grossman not playing much tonight, according to Joniak.
7:42 - Payne and Jersey City out there together.
7:43 - Pretty easy drive here for Cleveland. I can smell another ten days of overreacting. No Tommie Harris or Mike Brown as far as I can tell.
7:45 - That's enough now. Get Ogunleye, Vasher and Urlacher out of this game right now.
7:51 - Tom Thayer praising Matt Forte's excellent pass protection on the Kellen Davis drop.
7:53 - John St.Clair false starts twice in a row. This is the kind of shit bothers you, whether the score counts or not.
7:54 - THEY JUST GOT A 3RD AND SUPER LONG WITH A SCREEN PASS! Is it September 7th yet?
7:56 - Interception. Okay, that's enough. Everybody to the sideline. Ya'll can kill Jerry Angelo all you want but Matt Forte looks like a stud - even on funky European streams.
7:58 - Bears need to get better against the cutback run.
7:58 - Danieal Manning blitzing from the nickel spot and looks terrific doing it.
7:59 - I can't handle the barrage of ads on this radio broadcast. Every word out of Thayer's mouth is a spot.
8:00 - Get Vasher out of this game. Please.
8:01 - Get Urlacher out of the game. Please.
8:01 - The most horrific radio commercial of alltime just aired warning girls to stop posting pictures of themselves on the internet because "some man will spend alone time with your topless photo."
8:03 - Like to see Jersey City make solid tackles at the third level. That's what he's going to need to do all season.
8:08 - This defense is so silly. Why are they so good in the red zone?
8:14 - I'm done. Once Forte (my new favorite player) leaves, so do I.
See ya'll tomorrow.
