Murphy, Charles, Lovey, Jeannie and I settled onto the couch tonight to watch the Bears (the ones in Chicago) play the Cowboys (the ones from Dallas).
Sad. Very sad. Are Bears’ coach Lovey Smith and GM Jerry Angelo the only humans watching this game who think Rex Grossman should be playing quarterback in Chicago? It’s not as if they don’t have a better QB on their bench, because they do. You can look it up. They’re even worse off up the road in Minneapolis, of course, where Kelly Holcomb (like injured regular Tarvaris Jackson) was also not adequate. The Vikings are another NFC North team wasting a solid defense with an offensive offense. Lest they get too damned proud of the rookie running back, who rushed for 102 in 25 carries, the purple should be reminded that the two Rodent running backs who shared a backfield in the same building turned 34 rushes into 205 yards, 6 yards a pop.
Earlier, the Broncos finally fell off the high wire they’ve been on; they came from behind to win their first two, but not this time. And the Packers are off to a 3-0 start? Well, so the old man gets one more shot – as weak as the NFC is, this would be the year. Lovey needs to can Grossman or it’s over for the dispirited Bears. In Philadelphia, the Motor City Kitties got shown up for what they are – a bad football team. Without a quick change in the Windy City, the NFC North will finish: Packers, Bears, Kitties, Norwegians. In fact the whole NFL ain’t all that tough to figure out: Pats, Colts, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers. Those are the contenders. There are three that could yet right the ship: the Bears, Panthers, and Jaguars. The rest are pretenders.
