TOPIC 1: WHAT’S YOUR PLAN ‘B’ FOR THE BEARS?
Stop playing powerhouse AFC teams. If possible, schedule Michigan.
Isn’t it obvious? We had the ’85 Bears. Now we need — that’s right … OCHO CINCO!
Work out the kinks against a team that has no business being in the — oh, hey, it’s the Chiefs.
Quit worrying!
After watching the Cardinals vs. 49ers last night, I’m hoping for a move to the NFC West.
TOPIC 2: WHICH NFL CONTENDER IS A PRETENDER?
Your Chicago Bears. 8-8, folks. 8-8.
It’s one week, people. One performance can’t ruin your year, unless you’re Britney Spears.
The Eagles. Fun fact: Their “receivers” actually are cardboard cutouts of Fred Barnett.
New Orleans.
If by “pretender” you mean “unable to run the football as men do,” then it’s your Bears.
TOPIC 3: IS SPYING ON THE OTHER TEAM CHEATING?
Not if you’re spying on the other team’s cheerleaders. That’s just good business.
Is it cheating when the government does it. No, wait … not the black van! NOT THE BLACK VAN!
Totally constitutional. Ask any former U.S. attorney general.
They exchange film and information, they help each other spy.
I can’t see why it would be … unless you’re caught. Spying, that is.
TOPIC 4: DOES THE NL CENTRAL DESERVE TO SEND A TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS?
No less than the Yankees deserve a wild-card spot with their $190 million payroll.
Appalachian State deserves a shot more than this bunch.
If the Arizona Diamondbacks can go, anyone can.
Of course. Who won the World Series last year? The NL Central!
Since the “steriods era” ended, we’re living in the “mediocre era.” No.
TOPIC 5: HOW ARE YOU DOING IN FANTASY FOOTBALL?
I’m 0-1, but in my heart I’m a winner. Actually, in my heart I’m 3-6.
I’m not saying because it would be poor sportsmanship to say I beat Jimmy by less than a half point.
I’m breaking out the defibrillator. … CLEAR!
I’m not in a fantasy league! Well, football that is!
I have the Bears offense and the Jets defense. In other words, trade, anybody?
