John Madden was in Buffalo to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special telephone near the Bills bench. He asked Drew Bledsoe what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God. John asked if he could use it. Drew told him, "Sure, but it will cost you $200." John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I could use some help picking games. He pulled out his wallet and paid $200. John's picks were perfect that week.
The next week John was in Foxboro at Gillette Stadium when he noticed that same kind of phone on the Patriot's bench. He asked what the telephone was for and Tom Brady told him, "It's a hotline to God. If you want to use it, it will cost you $500." Recalling last week, John pulled out his wallet and made the call. John's picks were perfect again that week.
The next weekend John was in Indianapolis when he noticed the same kind of telephone by the Colts bench. He asked Peyton Manning , "Is that the hotline to God?"
Peyton said, "Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents."
John looked incredulously at Peyton and said, "Wait a second, I just paid $200 in Buffalo and $500 in New England to use the same phone to God! Why do the Colts only charge 50 cents?"
Peyton looked at John and replied, "Because in Indianapolis, it's a local call."
GO COLTS
Indy is a very nice town with an interesting town square. I spent some time there a few years ago. It isn't Chicago but still nice. A few shares of Lilly would be a good bet.
Go Bears.
Well it is no worse than exhibiting his ignorance in the sports field. Listening to Sports babble the other day the Local yakkers seem to think the Bears finished 3-13 rather than 13-3 and were on the verge of a disaster from every angle.
Did I ever tell you I HATE the presstitutes?
The Colts are a much better team than the Bears. That said, final score: Bears 37, Colts 24. [Huh? I like your result but wonder how you got there.]
Remember Miegs Field
So true!
Eaxactly! The Chicago fans were brutal to the Saints fans due in large part to Reggie Bush taunting Urlacher. Reggie showed the type of guy he is on that play. Urlacher is tough and always fired up, but I have never seen him taunt anyone.
Perhaps you are unaware that the Bears scored the same number of points in the regular season as the Colts. Or that they had the highest scoring game in the post season.
This isn't the No Scoring Bears teams of old.
Never fear Chicago always has plenty of "Republican" poll watchers. It gets them from the School for the Blind.
Well, after the superbowl, I bet that Chicago will be wanting/wishing for Peyton Manning instead of the loser they have now
While some areas of Chicago are almost as bad as Gary the city is not run down but is spectacularly beautiful. There isn't a drive prettier than going down Lake Shore Drive. This city definitely is not and never has been for the faint at heart though.
I bet you they would take Peyton Manning in a heartbeat!
Including obnoxious people from Chicago I suspect...
This is a hack writer, with no knowledge of sports. So he writes crap like this to keep a job.
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in Lincoln Park when a crazed Rottweiler suddenly attacks one of the boys. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves it under the dog's collar, twists it, and breaks the dog's neck, saving his friend.
A reporter is standing by, sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy.
"Young Cub Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Cubs fan," the little boy replies. "Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.
"Sox Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Sox fan either," the little boy replies.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.
"Bears Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook.
"I'm not a Bears fan either," says the boy.
"Oh... I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Cubs, Sox, or Bears. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.
"I'm a Colts fan," the boy replies.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:
"Little B*****d From Indiana Kills Beloved Family Pet"
You spelled that wrong. It's Crook County.
This is typical nearby rivalry hyperbole .. in VA they do it about WV. In NY they do it about NJ. It may be tacky but it's not original to Chicago.
Besides, Indianapolis DID get the last laugh!
How about a Super Bowl trophy? LOL.
I'm glad I stumbled across this thread again. The chuckle was a good way to start my day.
Note to self: Don't forget to stop at Dick's for a Super Bowl shirt.
I hope they enjoy the fun, now it's time for the Lions to do something!
