A back fumbles inside the 10-yard line. A kicker hits the upright. A fumble gets returned 95 yards for a TD. A QB sails a late interception. A stadium goes silent. The Bears became the Packers, and the Packers became the Bears.
I know it’s been said many times, many ways, but Lovie Smith, I lovie you.
Hundreds of fans welcomed the Bears home at O’Hare. OK, it was just me, but it’s a thought for next time.

Hey Paul Edinger, snap out of it.
If Wisconsin is looking for some payback, their indoor soccer team plays your Chicago Storm on Oct. 23. That’s right, Milwaukee Wave. I’m talking to you.

The Cardinals clinched when the Cubs lost Saturday, and I think St. Louis should send Chicago something nice, maybe flowers or chocolates. Or Albert Pujols.
Northwestern and Illinois each won college football games on the same day. Now there’s something to tell the grandkids.
I feel pretty guilty about not following the Ryder Cup very closely.
No, wait, sorry. That’s just gas. I’m good.
