The Cowboys are ruining the Bears
If you know me, you know I have a certain affinity for the Chicago Bears. I have a deep love for all our Chicago Bears. And as a Bears fan, there are teams I “hate”. The Green Bay Packers come to mind. But this is the sort of hate you have for your brother who […]
Its easy if you try. No polls to discuss. No one left standing to cry. Imagine all the fans happy cheering today. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! One of my first posts on this blog was about the BCS. See, I went to a school where we found out who had the best football team on the field. […]

I know… I’ve been totally ranting lately. Its the weather. The weather makes me do things… bad things. And since we live in this screwed up world we call home; well, you get the idea. I can go overboard. So, instead of raging about the new UNDP report that just came out (read the news […]
The Bowl Championship Series. What a stupid idea. Its Saturday, the day after shop-fest and two days after Thanksgiving and I have to say I am enjoying college football today.
