Meh. You're just like any Chicago sports fan. Paranoid and worried even if the team is up 3 games to zip or up 80-zip.




I think Da Bears will be fine come Sunday. I'm quite sure this year's playoff game will not be like the last time they were in it (against Philly)...GO BEARS!

hopefully. i really dont want football season to end, especially after the pain i went through during baseball season. i dont want to turn my focus 100% onto the Cubs, yet. Hoping for a Bears victory, badly.

whiskers, it's not my decision, but i bet they'll try it

I'm not normally one to bet on sports, but the Pats +3 was too good to pass up.

The pats just need to go home. Brady's whinning bothers me almost as much as the Belichick(sp) team philosphy(anyone remember Cle?) or the hey look at me I had a stroke but have enough heart to make a come back.

In the NFC I hope Was gets spanked and the panthers move on.

I don't see how you could hate the patriots for anything other than the superbowl rings. They're probably the least flashy/egotistical/obnoxious team out there

Lets see.....

Ty Law
Brady's whinning
Belichick(sp) team philosphy(anyone remember Cle?)
the hey look at me I had a stroke but have enough heart to make a come back.
their fans annoy me with the we never lost a game in the franchise history attitude


for the least flashy/egotistical/obnoxious they certainly get a ton of airtime about them not being flashy/egotistical/obnoxious

just my

Airtime vs personality are two completely different things.

All personality:
whinning about not being considered competition
ty law when he was there
the Brady "chip on his shoulder this year"

No offense to Belichick, but Don Knots (Three's Company era) could coach the Pats to a Super Bowl win with Brady as QB.

Very similar to Bill Walsh. Sure, great coach, but he had Montana at QB.

Cool! I'd love to see Tampa Bay implode! I'd also like to see someone ruin Chris Simms confidence by constantly questioning his ability!

well, I did some research, and found that the Panthers have not, at any time this season, won 2 straight games against teams with above .500 records. Also, the Bears have only given up 5 TDs at home, over 10 points once, and lost only once (to the game I went to !).

I wouldn't be that worried about Carolina's O. Their D was tight last week so Chicago needs to prey their O works. I had Thomas Jones on my Fantasy League and I don't recall a lot of 100 yard games towards the end. Near that but not over.

Keyshawn = over rated
TO = TD

I would love for TO to go to Tampa. He will be humbled like Keyshawn in Dal. He is competitive. He would have caught that ball

WHAT?! Hey, TO has got the talent, no questions asked. But don't you think its a HUGE gamble to take? I say, he's got ONE MORE shot, and if he blows it, he's done. We'll have to wait and see, and I give kudos to the team who pays him and takes that gamble.

I wouldn't say he's humble in Dallas, I've seen many arguments on the sideline with Bledsoe..
