Did the Saints win? Is that even NFL?

According to something called "Sports Illustrated", the Colts won and the Bears won. The Saints lost to the Bears. The Patriots lost to the Colts.

And we all know the outcome if a colt is attacked by a bear.

A horsey colt or a weapony colt?

Of the horsey variety. With the galloping and the whinnying and all that business.

Ok, now what kind of Bear?

You know, a there's a lot of talk about Rex Grossman...and he is indeed extremely mediocre. But he's on the right team for that. As long as he doesn't do anything really stupid, he can get away without being particularly great either because the defense can magically create points. Heck, even if he DOES do something stupid, if the defense is at its best it won't matter (witness several regular season games, as well as the "called a timeout with no timeouts left" penalty that wasn't called and the "Oh, I was supposed to run the hurry-up instead of walk off the field?" brain fart at the end of the first half). Secondary to becoming better at the position, he'd first better work on staying aware of what's going on of he won't last long at all.

Well....I was glad the Colts won. What an odd game. The Colts were so completely dominant that it was incredible to me that the Bears were in the game until Grossman threw the interception that was returned for a TD in the 4th. The Bears stats were so embarrassingly poor I just couldn't believe it wasn't 30-7 at that point.

I guess that points to what GD last posted about Grossman. He was absolutely beyond pathetic, but the Bears were still in it.

In spite of all of the talk of the Bears that they are happy with Grossman and how he's their man (certainly what they had to say during the playoffs), it isn't going to be long the trades take place to get someone else in, or to trade up in the draft. I would guess it will more likely be getting a veteren, because their D can perhaps take them far again next year if they stay together. Not many groups stay together long in the NFL.

Adam Vinatieri can suck it.

I watched the entire game. I only saw 1 commercial that amused me (the 2 Coke ones didn't count since I have seen them at the movie theater). It was a BlockBuster commercial with a CGI rabbit and guinea pig trying to use a mouse to access the internet. That one cracked me up.

I am gald the Colts won...for some reason I have always seen the Bears as just a minor step up from the Raiders. This was brought home when the commentators were talking about one of the Bear's players having to get special permission to leave the state due to a huge weapons charge.

Carl and Ray- the ad is called Mouse Click. I went to Youtube and if you search for them there is a "Best of..." video that includes that mouse ad. Very funny.

I am happy for the Colts too (though I would also have been happy for the Bears)- though if the Bears want a new QB we have one in Denver they can have.
