Let's talk NFC Central
My Mighty Bears are in 1st with a 2-3 record. I just watched the Lions highlights and Harrington narrowly out-stank Delhomme to snag another gut-churning loss for the Lake Erie Losers. The Vikings are coming apart at the seems, with more arrests coming than the * admin. We need a name for this division. Do we have any nominations?

12. True
They know how to enjoy a bye week. I am surprised the new owner let Tice come to wkr yesterday. That team is in bad shape.

4. The 500 Club??
I think the winner will be either 8-8 or 9-7. Maybe I should change it to the below 500 club??

5. my mom said that the Bears will probably win the division...
with a 5-11 record.

Not looking that unlikely at this point!

6. Bears Fright Song
I've been a diehard Bears fan for 30 years, and came up with my own lyrics to their fight song back in the days before the '85 team emerged:

Fall down, Chicago Bears
Make every play pave the way for the the other team
Break down, Chicago Bears
Put up a fight with a might that runs out of steam
We'll never forget the hopeless situations
That lead to our yearly frustrations
Step down, Chicago Bears
And let them know who are really the clowns
We're the diehard fans in Chicagoland
Who watch Chicago Bears fall down!

8. Heck no !!!
If the Packers or Vikings are forced to leave the NFL, that's one less team my Bears have a chance of beating!

17. The Pack isn't as bad as their record
and as a Vikings fan it pains me to say that. Favre & Co have been losing close games. The Vikings have barely bothered to show up most of the time. I think the Pack wins by at least 10 points. Tice and the Vikes are toast. Zygi will have to burn down the barn and start over. First a real GM, then a careful search for a coach that will instill discipline on and off the field.

24. Vikes are Done
This team is done. You can really see it in the way that they are on the field. If you listen to KFAN the "biggest" Vikings fans are basically eating their young right now. All of these guys that they signed in the offseason are busts, just like I told all of my friends who are Viking fans. These guys were great 5 YEARS AGO! They need to start over.

16. There was some talk that the loser of the
Mexico City Bowl between SF and Pho should have to stay in Mexico. Alas they both came back, to provide the Rams and Seahawks someone to beat up on.

18. We're the same age
Reavis High School class of '75, but I didn't really become a diehard football/Bears fan until Walter came along.

9. the bears are in first? really? god is that sad.
`i watched part of the game yesterday and god were both teans bad.i watched a bunch of ganes at the bar and all the games i watched sucked.the nfl sucks if you want to watch good football and the only reason to care about pro ball is to see if ya covered the spread.

anyway who gives a shit about the bears -it`s our white sox that matter-just how many complete games have the sox pitchers thrown? for a few more weeks chicago is going to be a soxs town!

21. But head to head, the Bears win, therefore, they are in first place.

26. Winning that division is like being the leper with the most fingers...
...or the best hockey player in Panama.
