Emails

Bernsie,
I could not agree more with your assessment of the Bears brass.  The sense of entitlement they seem to possess in light of extreme mediocrity is appalling.  It's as if they subscribe to the Boo-Ya style of information distribution.  Everything is seashells and balloons and everyone is above reproach.  And what's worse is they'll not only continue to act this way during the season, but it will actually be worse when they're 2-4 and have to circle the wagons.
As for your blog question about where to go for financial advice now that the CBS Morning Algonquin Round Table is going the way of Webio, I recommend Jim Cramer.  He gives you every dynamic of "Monsters and Money" rolled into one...
bad financial advice, screaming, the inability to properly conduct an interview, shameless plugs, and screaming.  Enjoy.

It seems sad that some of the more entertaining "sports" books have been about pro wrestling.

Terry and Dan,

I agree that the Bears game was just pitiful and painful to watch. Especially painful was a certain play that I happened to key on Mr. Urlacher. I was curious how well Urlacher would handle taking someone to the ground since the Teddy Bears don't like to hit or tackle in practice. Did you guys see the Chargers' sweep left play on the 2nd or 3rd series when Urlacher avoided blocks to put himself in perfect position to absolutely level Ryan Matthews out of bounds? The rookie proceeded to lower his shoulder and knock Urlacher 5-feet back on his ass.  It was at this moment that I decided I would never wear my nappy white Urlacher jersey again. I find it hard to believe that he will ever become even a glimpse of the player he once was.
