OK, so Grossman had a good game. that does not mean I feel good about what he will do for the Bears the rest of the year.
And yes, Hester is a god - best thing to come from "The u" in a long time, other than a good joke about criminal behavior...
Seriously, "The u", I get that there are U's on the helmets, but come on, about the dumbest self imposed nickname in all of sport.
And to hear people like Michael Irvin constantly go on about "The u" and the players from there, I just want to vomit. Who was the genious that put a U on the helmet to begin with - couldn't they put the bird on the helmet (no, not the one that opposing fans use, the ibis)?
Go down the list: Winslow, Shockey, Irvin, Sapp - do mouthier players exist?
Yes, they have history - if you started counting in the 80's - but get over it and yourselves.

Work to do, or Bears on MNF?
The Bears are on Monday Night Football and I am very tempted to not watch because:
1) I have work to do and I better get it done if I prefer to keep my job - did I mention it is 9 pm?
2) Do I really want to subject myself to Rex Grossman?
3) I have been a Bears fan too long to know not to get my hopes up - I was 10 when they were shuffeling, I know pain.
What a shame to waste this talented defense. Living in Indianapolis I see what alack of D can do to a team- combine the Colts O and Bears D and you have a team that would dominate for at least a decade.
I guess I will try to do both, and as soon as Grossman blows it I will focus on work.
And just a little aside, how the hell does Purdue's mens basketball team not make the Top25 in this weeks AP poll? What a joke - the pollsterd need to get off the jock of 2 loss Florida, yeah they won last year, but please - they lost to FSU.

Post One, a little background
Everything has to start somewhere, so I guess my story starts here.
Actually, my story really started in the mid 70's and picked-up steam in the 80's in the little town of St. John, IN. My hometown was as typical as can be, if normal to you is Lilly-white god fearing Catholics. St. John was a unique town in "The Region," as the city most people know in the area is Gary, IN. Having a town of mostly upper-middle class white families in the region was rare, your choices, St. John, Dyer and Munster. The area is a boiler that one day soon I expect to explode due to the racial divides, but more on that some other day.
"The Region" is the suburban Chicago area that happens to be in Indiana. The air is so thick with the smell of industry that it is the first thing most people notice while driving through. Those of us who lived there were pretty much immune to the fact that we stunk. "The Region" is the blue collar backbone of America, however, almost everyone that lives there is doing everything they can to get out.
I was lucky, I went to Purdue University after graduating from Lake Central High School, also known as Drug Central, but I digress. I received my BA from Purdue and after getting married and spending three years in the Chicago area, my family settled in the suburbs of Indianapolis. Now, I live in relative obscurity - times get tough, but we fight on.
Our newest test involves my wife being downsized after dedicating five years of her life to one company. It was completely unexpected, and undeserved, but it is just another part of life that we have to deal with, gain perspective and move on even stronger. Maybe I will dedicate more time on this in the future, but for today, I guess just the basics will do.
So this is it, this is where my path has led me, this is where the story begins.
