Leo had to skip out on us during the biggest NFL game of the year. At a time like this, he really needed to be by Tom Brady’s side. Sign up at redeyechicago.com/fiveonfive.

TOPIC 1: HOW WAS NFL SUNDAY DIFFERENT WITHOUT THE BEARS?
I still cried my eyes out, but over gutsy wins by Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota.
Defensive backs across the league will be rusty from the
dip in interceptions.
It was great. Now Chicagoans can concentrate on Monday’s Steelers game.
I can’t very well feed on the despair of Chicago sports fans without … oh, hello, Bulls!
They didn’t play and still lost a lot of ground in the division. Just shoot me.
TOPIC 2: DID THE COLTS-PATRIOTS GAME LIVE UP TO THE HYPE?
It did. But I still prefer a good episode of “The Office.”
Well, Tom Brady didn’t float up to heaven, so no.
Not that bad. It was slightly better than Sunday’s NASCAR race.
I expected Bill Belichick to sneak up and club Tony Dungy. A little disappointed in you, Bill.
Please, the ’85 Bears would mop up either one of these teams!
TOPIC 3: WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE BULLS?
Don’t know, don’t care. Wake me if they make the playoffs.
It’s an ingenious way of drumming up public support for the Kobe Bryant trade.
Same thing that always goes on with them. Not much.
The Bulls want teams ahead, where they can keep an eye on them. Fools!
Here’s the thing: They suck.
TOPIC 4: A MOTHER WON THE NYC MARATHON. WHAT ATHLETIC THING CAN YOUR MOM DO?
She can roll over in her grave at questions like these.
Not much. She throws like a Jimmy.
My mom can throw a mean
frisbee.
My motherboard could destroy New Jersey and not break a sweat. Good ol’ Mom.
Unless marathon nagging became an Olympic sport,
you got me.
TOPIC 5: WHAT DID CHICAGO LEARN FROM THE WORLD BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS?
Muhammad Ali really has to think about retirement.
That the best fights still take place at City Hall.
That Chicagoans really aren’t that interested in boxing.
They use gloves? Wussies.
That we’ve really built our hopes up for the Olympics. You know what comes next.
