The city of Detroit owes us for letting the Lions end their
24-game road losing streak in Chicago. My suggestion: the Pistons’ Richard Hamilton.
My NFL mantra: Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive. Deep breath. Release. Hey, I thought the Bears’ long-snapping looked extremely sharp!
Chicagobears.com solicited e-mail questions for President and CEO Ted Phillips and Lovie Smith. Cool idea. And if you sent one in, I trust it didn’t get blocked.
NFL.com set a four-day opening weekend record with 9.4 million visits, and none of them came to see what the great David Terrell had done.
Fantasy football is wonderful because it combines all things purely American: gambling, competition and ripping the fullback dive when the passing game was just beginning to click.
Fantasy tip: Go with whatever defense the Bears are facing.
Ever eat too much ice cream really quickly and then your head hurts but you keep eating because there’s another piece of cookie dough and it’s soooo good? That’s how I feel about Week 1 of the NFL.
As two-night guests at U.S. Cellular, the Marlins and Expos must be honored to be in one of America’s old, classic ballparks.
These two teams would have played at Wrigley, but the Cubs had it reserved for a wake.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. The Marlins mascot threw out the first pitch. Where’s a crazed, shirtless, tackling Chicago baseball fan when you need one?
We must protect this house.
Here comes the Ryder Cup. Hide in the southwest corner of your basement. It’ll pass.
Five things …
My five other proposals for The Cell:
– Dog track on the concourse
– Use parking lot as new Meigs Field
– Drive-in theater (no Cubs flicks)
– Little League World Series
– J.Lo’s next wedding
