Hate to dwell on the negative...but
Are the Bears and the Vikings two of the worst teams in modern football? Man what a HORRIBLE game. Poorly played. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad...

2. I thought last week's Bears game vs. the Browns
was as bad as it can get, but I think this on'es worse.

Between 15-20 penalties per game, replays, commercials after every three plays, injuries, and announcers who never shut up, the NFL's gotten just about unwatchable for non-gamblers like myself.

12. Here's a quote from whatever
steroid-addled dolt anlyzed today's game:

"And, and, it's all about...hanging your hat. You need to hang your hat on something. When you go home at night, you want something to hang your hat on. And right now, the Vikings offense has nothing to hang their hat on".

Ladies and gentleman, I think we found Smirk's speech writer.

3. Ever since the Super Bowl Shuffle
I've not been a fan of Da Bears.


What the hell were they thinking?

4. You may have forgotten..
The Bears won the Super Bowl the year of the Super Bowl Shuffle.

8. Agreed..pretty cheesy
Especially in retrospect...I get a huge kick out of watching Gary Fencik "rap"...it's quite a hoot.

5. "Course you have to include...
my avatar team. Struggling right now to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with Carolina. 2 turnovers in 1 minute. Some kind of record?

14. I saw Mooch's press conf after the game
He's finding out that winning games with Joey Harrington under center is tougher than with Steve Young.

13. No, it was a great game
I had under 38. It wasn't the best day, so every game I won was a terrific one. Thanks Vikings, for contributing only 3.
