Yawn.
I took a power nap Wednesday evening, and I’m just getting up.
I miss anything?
You know how long I’ve been waiting for one of Chicago’s baseball teams to win a World Series so I could tell that joke? Gotta tell you, it had a lot more zip when I first thought of it in ’84.
How about this one? “I went to the White Sox game, and all I got was this lousy championship T-shirt.” Ker-blammo!
So now the pressure’s on the rest of the bums around here to make something of themselves. We all know that’s not going to happen with the Blackhawks, and the Bulls haven’t even started yet.
That leaves our ever-lovin’, division-leadin’ Bears, who could follow the Sox’s footsteps by sweeping the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
And just to put it out there, I am not–repeat, not–allergic to champagne (unlike certain players I won’t name), so keep it coming.
And here now, the picks:
BEARS (3-3) at Detroit (3-3)
Noon, WFLD-Ch. 32
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: Kyle Orton, take a long hard look at Joey Harrington, if he hasn’t already been stuffed in a suitcase. He was the golden boy, too, in Detroit, until he threw his first pass. Now comes journeyman savior Jeff Garcia, who you may remember as Terrell Owen’s professional whipping boy. Quick, someone start a rumor that Jeff and Sheryl Swoopes are lesbian lovers. Swoopes, there it is!
THE LINE/OVER-UNDER: Lions by 3, 321 1/42
FINAL SHAKE: Bears
