I had a horrible nightmare last night. the bears lose to the eagles and then beat the packers next week while the scum sucking lions beat the giants & minnesota to march into the playoffs. ugh.

but if both the bears & packers win today, the lions are toast and we'll be treated to a repeat of the 'gunfight at the ok corral' next sunday. great theatre and i hope it happens.

if ever a player needed a kick in the balls, it's TONY ROMO. "hey jag bag, we're up two scores so when i send in a running play, run the damn thing and stop calling audibles!"  MR. INTERCEPTION struck again last week and handed the packers new playoff life with consecutive interceptions.  turns out the coach was sending in running plays but........

COACH JASON GARRET needs to be done. how hard is it to tell your QB to just run the play with no checkoffs allowed?

STARLIN CASTRO claims the lawsuit against him in the dominican republic is what caused his bad year. ok, here's a hint: honor your contract with the baseball academy and the lawsuit goes away. duh.

gotta feel bad for LINSEY VONN, the world's best female skier. she reinjured her surgically repaired knee in november and had to withdraw from a race on saturday when her knee buckled. the olympics are just two months away and they don't allow 'do-overs' in the games......unless you're the russian basketball team in 1972.

the BULLS are just dreadful because of the injury bug. i went to a game recently and they were missing NOAH, HEINRICH, DENG & JIMMY BUTLER, not to mention mr. rose which means that bench warmers 6 thru 9 joined CARLOS BOOZER and became their starting lineup. really sad to see this team crumble. the bright spot is that IF they don't break up the team, the rookies are getting an awful lot of valuable playing time

speaking of injuries, the BLACKHAWKS do need COREY CRAWFORD to get healthy but they're doing it the right way by allowing him all the time he needs to heal properly. of, course, it helps when you keep on winning with the backup goalies.

bowl games abound and i love it. doesn't matter when you turn on the tv, there's football!  35 bowl games, division 2 & 3 playoffs and of course, the nfl. wunderbar.

hope santa is good to you.  go bears!
