don't count out the Bears

It was pretty hard to watch the Bears struggle in the first half this past Sunday. The Giants were living large with their pretend jump shots and many other shows of celebration. They looked strong and dominant and invincible. As the Bears headed for the lockerroom it probably looked to many people that the Bears weren't nearly as good as their record shows. As the commentators were doing what they get paid to do...yapping...I thought, don't count out the Bears just yet.

That thought turned out to be prophetic. Rex Grossman may have a clone that plays for him occasionally but isn't quite as good as the real thing. I don't know how else to explain how horrible he can play and then he goes into the locker room and for some unexplained reason he starts throwing perfect passes. This guy threw three touchdown passes in nine football minutes. That's not bad.

One thing the Bears are showing us is that if you're going to watch them on TV you'd better watch the whole game because they are anything but predictable. If you go for a walk around the block you may just miss out on some fabulous, exciting football.

Go Bears.

I totally agree. Everyone wants to count the Bears out, so they are just gonna have to prove themselves on the field. As far as Grossman goes, I think he'll become more consistent as he ages...I hope. But for now, it does seem like there is a clone that does great or an evil twin that stuffs the good Grossman in his own locker.

Better not count out the Cubs anymore either. Soriano is quite an acquisition.

Yeah, its a good pickup, I just don't like that they signed him for 8 years. He's gonna be 38 years old making 17 million a year, yuck.

Do you think Tribune is really going to sell the Cubs?

I'm not sure. I haven't read enough to voice a very strong opinion, but there must be something to all the talk.
