And somewhere...over in the east coast. Near Pittsburgh. A man called Jonesi is having a mini-orgasm after mini-orgasm seeing the 4TDs Ben Roethsadfsafsadfjsdfjasdljfsdafburger has tossed so far...







So much for the early hype about Jamal Lewis being reborn in Cleveland tho.

Randel El caught that hail mary off the bat-down, tackled at the two though.

Lotta FG winners today...Moss seems like he'll be having a big year with 180+ receiving today





Let's see how those bears do

Looks okay to me so far.

Not quite the aerial show points-wise...but, it's got me entertained.

The Bears are so cute. They are getting all mad that they can't move the ball.

after today's game it's hard not to look at Moss as a consistent, clutch player and all-around stand-up guy. Maybe one of the best receivers ever. It's almost silly that he's had all those naysayers for the last 6 years.

The Bears defense is great.....but keep in mind the Chargers are now coached by Norv Turner.

I'm sure Renegade is happy that Jacksonville cut one of their "starting caliber" QBs.

And Da Bears are led at QB by the worst QB on the universe and beyond: Rex Grossman.

You're being a little hard on the guy, aren't you? He did get them through the playoffs to the super bowl last year.

No whey.

He deserves ALL the criticism and spew tossed his way. Heck, if he wore a Dallas Cowboy jersey, he'd be criticized just as bad.

Aww...the greatest RB evar (better than Sweetness or Jim Brown) didn't get in on his first try...?!?


And worse off...he got stopped by the most overrated LB in the history of football...evar. Ouch.

Whoa. The GREATEST QB just fumbled on the goal line...? Man...that's okay. I know that Rivers just wanted to give Chicago a chance. That's all.

BTW, stating that Tomlinson is on par with Payton or Brown is like saying that Peyton Manning belongs in the same breath as Dan Marino.

Well, I'm just quoting the press...then again, I'm sure Sweetness was never nice enough to get only 13 yards on 13 attempts. He had way less class than LT...such a nice guy LT is...trying to give the lousy Chicago team a chance to win.


I'm so...touched.

BUT...the outcome of this game is obviously not yet determined...But, in the nutty and out-of-mind event that SD loses, I'll wait for all the excuses by the press to come out.



And I'm sure they'll mention how classy Rivers and LT were in being so nice to the Bears and giving the second rate team a chance to remain in the game.

Thomas Jones had another year left on his contract.

At least that guy knows how to hold onto a football.

Pffft...Rivers fumbled just as much as Grossman. So, they are equal in my books.



Only Romosexual is better than both. He's the greatestest QB. Evar.
