That's not a factor. My prediction goes back to something Mike Ditka talked about the last time the Bears were in this situation - The Grabowskis vs. The Jones.

You could see it in the conference championships - the Bears were in the snow, getting muddy and snowed on, playing Bears football. While the AFC game was picturesque - bright green field, bright white yard marker stripes, pretty blue uniforms on both teams.

And the Bears want it more, for their entire team, while all the Colts noise is about how important this is for Peyton Manning.

Now, I might be wrong about this; I thought I was wrong once before, but I was mistaken.

Indiana has the BEST watermelons, from around Evansville. I have no idea why.
Indiana has three NCAA championships. Chicago has one.

[steve8714]

In St. Louis we still use "Hoosier the way he states, but we are quick to separate that from residents of Indiana, about whom we have few preconceptions.

"Indy has nothing we'd want"

After the game we will, it's called the Vince Lombardi Trophy

[John W]

Well, we'll see.But, the SB should resemble the AFC game in field appearance.And, I like Ditka,but, his 1985 "Grabowskis" played on artificial turf at Soldier Field before it went to grass, if thats what you call it.

[smug]

Indiana has three NCAA championships. Chicago has one.

Actually they have five. 1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, 1987.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Lovie Smith immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again...

GO COLTS !!

Now Now. Can't we just all get along?

[Paige]

Before meeting her? This is not funny...and have you seen the welfare recipients in Chicago?

Enough said ...

[Richard Kimball]

Nah. It's kind of funny, though, to see a b*tch fight between Chicago and Indianapolis over which city is cooler. It's like watching Rosie and John Goodman fight over who has lower cholesterol.

[stockstrader]

Of course Chicago 'thumbs its collective (pun intended) noses' at Indiana.
Why wouldn't it?

After all, what self-respecting, hard-core liberal, solid-blue city, in the bluest of blue states WOULDN'T look down on a red state like Indiana that has voted Republican in every single Presidential election in last 40 years!!!! (For you Colts fans--that's the last TEN elections).

[dforest]

At least our citizens don't have to drive out of city limits to get a job at Wal mart. Hey....I thought Richard Kimball was dead. He is alive and typing.

[Earthdweller]

"I thought Richard Kimball was dead. He is alive and typing."

I'm sure he and all his liberal fans will have a lot to say after the game.

Fill'er up boys!

[dforest]

He will know what being a Fugitive is all about!

[joebuck]

Let 'em have their trash talking. Colts will do their talking on the field next sunday when they beat the Bears like a red haired step-child. Peyton will feast on this defense. How he does it depends on whether Lovie dares to try the two deep wide coverage on evey down like the Ravens and Pats did to their regret. I do, hoever, appreciate the dilemma - pick your poison.

Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around.

They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots' flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Tom," said God. "This is very special house; not everyone gets a home in this neighborhood."

Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a blue and white sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Colts' logo flag, and in every window, an Indianapolis Colts towel.

Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said "So what's your point Tom?"

"Well, why does Peyton Manning get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said:

"Tom, that's not Peyton 's house, it's mine."

GO COLTS!!!

[steve8714]

mo' better.

[Loud Mime]

It's typical football trash-talking.

Sad to see that this guy could't find anything else that was worthwhile.

[Republic]

ROFLMAO! Tooooooooo much!

**** Before meeting her? This is not funny...and have you seen the welfare recipients in Chicago? Enough said ...****

I'm sorry but the way he put it, it is funny.

And I LIKE Indiana and I love the Indiana Dunes Sate Park. Been going camping there off and on since 1957. Why I know those woods like Daniel Boone. Heck, there's still 'trails' (not official ones) in the back woods I marked with my trusty hatchet (3 slashes, 2 slashes, etc). Even saved a lost Boy Scout once back in '58 (that was funny). And there's this little greasy spoon restaurant / cafe in Chesterton next to the train tracks that serves some of the best food (at least it was still there a few years back).

The only problem is, to get there I have to go through Gary.
