The Playoffs

What a weekend for sports fans! Tim Tebow and the Packers were eliminated. I was convinced that God had taken up Fantasy Football and Tebow was his QB. Instead, God showed us that he loves us all equally.

The final four play this weekend to determine the Super Bowl lineup. The NFC champs are the NY Giants led by QB Eli Manning -vs- the San Francisco 49ers (coached by ex Bear QB Jim Harbaugh, and before that Mike Singletary). Mike Marrtz came to the Bears from the 49ers.

The AFC champs are the Baltimore Ravens (coached by John Harbaugh - Jim's brother) -vs- the  New England Patriots (coached by veteran Bill Belichick). So who's your pick for the Super Bowl contenders?

I'm not as good as God; I do play favorites. Since my Bears are out of the running, the closest I can come to a Bear in the Super Bowl is the San Francisco 49ers. So let's see what da Bears cooks can do for the SF 49ers. Who's with me?

Bye Bye!

Note to Self: 
When you have a Superstar Running Back that keeps delivering and the fans love, lock him in with a new contract.

Today, the Bears let GM Jerry Angelo go. By the way, they're keeping Matt Forte. Just sayin'.

Comfort Food

I am not sure if I'm glad the season is over or not. Today's game against the Vikings was a lot of fun and a final win in the stats. We saw amazing football from both sides. McCown did a great job for da Bears showing courage and ability in the pocket. What fun it was to see Peanut grab the football and run it in for a touchdown.

The Vikings brought their game as well. 69 Dude! I was rooting for you. You're a football fan's football player. And Webb, I would be pleased to see you in a Bears uniform. Your moves, balance and decision making was amazing.

All in all, it was a fun game until the ghost of 2011 reappeared in the form of Major Wright colliding with Urlacher. Now we have to wait to hear from the trainers to learn the extent of Brian's injury.

Today's menu choice was perfect to end this injury-prone season. Minnesota fancies something called a hotdish which is basically a comfort food casserole. Goulash is my ultimate comfort food and I must say I enjoyed it. Treat yourself to some warm comfort on a cold winter day.
