Fill in the blank: _____________ was the surprise of the night in Sunday’s Bears-Broncos game.
“My interest in an exhibition game.”
“The stain Jimmy left on the couch.”
“Cutler.” I was truly impressed with the young QB’s poise under fan and Bronco pressure.
“Ed Hochuli’s not-as-ripped guns.” Did they start testing NFL refs for PEDs?
“My buddy’s low blood pressure.” @philwrighthouse
What is the danger of the Bears having two preseason games in five days?
They could think it’s Thanksgiving and accidentally go to Detroit.
Matt Forte will be catching roughly 7,000 check-down passes in that span.
The water boy might take a spot away from someone trying to make the practice squad.
Haniemania might sweep the nation!
Fans gaining 10 pounds from tailgating overload. @AaronBSam
What have we learned about the Cubs and Sox and road games?
Bad teams lose a lot of road games.
Like the other members of this panel, they shouldn’t leave home without bags over their heads.
That both teams are more interested in the hotel rooms and sight-seeing tours.
Both teams must be staying at really, really bad hotels on the road.
At least they know where the best hot dog joints and bars are in other cities. @salaminizer
Who has done so little professionally in Chicago but gotten as much hype as Jake Peavy?
A three-way tie between Leo Ebsersole, Jerry Riles and Alex Quigley.
Rod Blagojevich.
This past Cubs season, Mark De Rosa. You’d think he was the second coming of Ernie Banks.
Um … Howard Stern?
Have you met our mayor? @Henjealy
How did you celebrate Monday’s start of tennis’ U.S. Open?
I painted my balls green.
I opened a beer and tried to forget.
Tennis? I’m still crying about Tiger’s Barclays defeat over the weekend.
I assumed Roger Federer was going to win it all again and lost interest.
By not watching the U.S. Open. @jakepotashnick
