Bears Playoff Game 2

The cities of New Orleans and Chicago have a lot in common-

Both survived great disasters, I know the fire was over a 150 years ago in Chicago, but it was pretty bad only the Watertower remained. If that went down where would people shop?

Great music scenes- Jazz in New Orleans Blues in Chicago





Great food and drinks- Cajun food and Hurricanes in New Orleans,

Pizza and Old Style in Chicago.

The Saints come to Chicago getting 2.5 points, which mean the gambling gods are telling us that the Saints are prohibitive favorites to win. I believe the Bears will win being lead by Rex Grossman, 38-35.

Yes a quarterback, which is said in Chicago with as much disdain as saying quiche.

Accept Rex Grossman, believe it or not the game has evolved since Bronko Nagurski was plowing fields in Minnesota with no horse, just Bronko pushing a plow through the dirt. Story has it when a scout saw Nagurski plowing he asked him if he knew where the local university was where the scout wanted to sign a certain player. Bronko picked up the plow and pointed it down the road. Needless to say the scout didn’t go see the other player.

Anyways that style of smash mouth football needs to be backed with an aerial offense which allows the run to be more effective.

Grossman is the man. He will be the quarterback that breaks all the passing records for the Bears which date back to when the US only had 48 states.

One last story, I went to New Orleans once for a business trip. Of course I made the obligatory trip to Bourbon Street. Not much different then Rush Street in Chicago, except for the smell and women lifting their shirts for beads. And the women who do the flashing are the one’s you want to see least.

Hooofa!

Go Bears.
