A Team Effort

Despite the friction caused by Cutler's comments last week, da Bears worked as a team to defeat the St. Louis Rams. The defense was superb, the offense had some bright moments and Robbie Gould was predictably perfect. I'm anxious to hear Cutler praise his team.

What was on your menu for today? After much fussing, I went with the house favorite Chili with some Provel Cheese on the side. I've never had Provel before but it quite tasty. I made today's Chili a tad spicy because I like it that way and I had some St. Louis antacids - Tums - in the house just in case. No need, the spice was just right for this chilly afternoon.
