JJP, lets keep that angle to ourselves, that is an amazing thought process right there. We can really unload on that the first couple days and let the minions figure it out at a later date. Great find right there. Speed horses that are off form suddenly find Hawthorne form. Big fan right there.

I have alot of commitments in the next couple weeks up here. A wedding, handicapping contest, two Cubs games, and a Bears preseason game. Still cleaning my wounds from the first trip, almost healed.

I hope you didn't pay for those tickets. Preseason football is absolutely unwatchable.

One of the biggest travesties in sports is the NFL Owners forcing their season ticket holders to buy tickets to preseason games at full price.

I can't give them away, nobody wants to go see a 4-12 team (for that matter, I couldn't give them away after they won the Super Bowl), playing scrubs after one series, in 95 degree heat with not a breath of wind blowing through the stadium.

We always go to one preseason just for the hell of it, it keeps us out of trouble. Never pay for them.

Word here is that the Bears are HUNGRY this year and no let down. Schedule is playable and the offensive looks to be real serious. Who knows if that holds but pretty excited. Upgrading the jerseys this weekend as I am going to get a Benson and a Harris Jersey, so when they are on offensive going to rock the benson jersey and when on D going to rock the Harris jersey, and no, not Walt Harris.

I only got to one Patriots game last year. Good job it was against the Bears Scav.

Stick with the Harris Jersey. That guy is the goods.

Benson... errr... not good for a number one running back. Hope they got a good back up. Lots of team are going to a one two punch. Benson cant last the whole season. He gets hit way too hard. And unless his blocking has improved, dont expect Grossman to stay alive on a playfake.
