>>A really, really wild last weekend. It turned this lapsing NFL fan's head around. I am cheering for the Eagles.

>That AFC picture yesterday was bizarre. Miami had a chance to win the WC and blew it. Ravens really blew it. And San Diego deserved to lose, given how poorly their defense played against KC's second stringers. (Additionally, there were 2 absolutely horrible calls that went in SD's favor....and I'm not bitter at all about KC losing, given that the game was meaningless)

>And then we have the Bears. Mike, believe me, I was rooting for the Bears to win...I like Forte as a runner. But Chicago did the worst thing possible on that fumble that GB ran in for a TD...they stopped playing before the whistle blew. Kids are taught that in pee-wee football - you NEVER, NEVER NEVER stop until the whistle blows. Between that, and the fact that a bottle of Pepto can stop a run better than Chicago's defense can, the Bears beat themselves. Again, really sorry, I wanted to see them win. Fair or unfair, you've seen Cutler's last game as a Bear. (I think it's unfair)

That was the key play of the game. And entirely emblematic of the Bears season.

I believe Cutler is gone. No disappointment here. Everyone is in love with his gun of an arm but he really hasn't done much here. The Bears will have to pay 16 million to keep him. No way. Julius Peppers, too. Don't let the door hit you in the butt. Back in the day you were great but those days were some time ago.

Here is a complete change of subject. I just renewed my MSDN subscription throuh SWI. I am sure yours is comped by being an MVP, as mine was for many years. The lady I deal with is Abby Hanson, x316. She is a pro's pro. It took me a while to catch up to her because she was out of the office with newborn twin sons. I said that must be a workout and she said you have no idea. What a great lady.
