I believe the Arizona Cardinals will win respect but I still have a poster in the football room that says........
IF IT’S SUNDAY................WE ARE DOWN BY 20


The Bears ate too much deep dish Chicago pizza last season and concentrated more on watching the chicks along Michigan Street than on the football.
This season, pizza gorging and chick watching will again be primary on the Bear’s schedule, as they limp through the season wounded and bloody, reflecting perfectly their namesake home - Soldier’s Field. Calls will be made to rename the stadium Bear Rug, as team after team walks over the former Monsters of the Midway.
By game 5, Wrecks Grossman will enter the field of combat with a trench shovel in hand, hoping to bury a performance even more dismal than last season.
That the Bears will lose twice to the hated Green Bay Packers has already been chiseled in stone by God. But losing twice to the Detroit Lions on last minute fumbles/interceptions by Grossman will have Chicago fans begging for the Chicago mob to dig graves to bury the remainder of the season.
The highlight of the season will be that Chicago deep dish pizzas will retain their title as the best pizzas east of the Mississippi and girl watching along Michigan Street will still be the No. 1 Chicago spectator sport, both of which the Bears will have done too much of.
Surprise teams marked improvements: Dolphins and Browns.
Surprise teams noted disappointments: Ravens and Chargers.
Editorial: Not a Falcons fan, but damn! - I hope Joey Harrington has a career year and the Falcons go at least 8-8 just to prove an anti-Vick point. (though I do want New Orleans to win that division...)
Are we ready for some football!?
I’m going to wait for James Taranto’s picks. He is NEVER wrong.
...The Detroit Lions have been officially eliminated from playoff contention.
I’ve been a Vikings fan my entire life.
This is the first year that I just cannot work up any enthusiasm for them. None.
