Super Bowl XLI: Bears vs. Colts, Sun 2/4, 5:30 pm CT

[Flames24Rulz]

My God, I think one reporter asked Moose if he wants to win the game.

No, we don't want to win. The 1985 team won, then they couldn't handle the pressure of defending the title. We don't want to have to deal with that pressure, and the best way to avoid it is to not win in the first place.

 

Haha, that's great. What an embarassing question to ask.

So the Governors of the Super Bowl teams are betting about raising flags instead of food and it got me wondering what kind of food Indiana is famous for? Sugar Creme Pie? What else?

[C.C.]

Start the Gosh Darn game already! I can't stand all the mindless build up.

[Chocolate Milk]

Pictures of them getting off the plane are making me excited. I can't wait until this Sunday.

[Chocolate Milk]

I think CNNSI's "Dr. Z" is actually insane.

 

FJM comes to a similar conclusion.

Im really having a lot fun watching all this Super Bowl stuff. Watching the WGN News at Nine, NFL Live, Sportscenter, etc. Im enjoying more than i thought i would of. Its SWEET.

I'm actually having less fun than I thought I would with all this buildup. The stories that are being written by the media are mainly mindless drivel. It's only one game! How much analysis can be done? I can't wait for Sunday because they'll actually finally play the game and I don't have to hear all the fluff pieces anymore.

Just saw Rex's interview on the Final Word for Fox, and he looks like he's ready to go. I'm calling for a monster game from him.

We're screwed.

 

I'm sure you're joking around, but just in case you aren't:

 

Grossman's biorhythm on 10/29 (49ers game, one of his best of the year):

10/1, the Seattle game (high profile game, Rex played well):

Biorhythms don't work.

I don't know how famous it is, or if it is even a "Indiana" thing, but those Hoosiers make a mean fried pork sandwich. They take this huge, but really thin pork tenderloin patty and fry it up. Good stuff. They could also put some "Big Ten's" from Pizza Express on the line. It is nothing compaired to Chicago pizza, but it's still good. The Subway where Jared lost all his weight is in Bloomington, so maybe some Subs.

Yeah that part has become a little tiredsome. I like the hoopla. WGN is doing great with the hoopla and hardly any 'talking head' analysis. I like seeing/hearing all the Bear fans pumped up about the Super Bowl. Even though some of the analysis are downplaying the Bears it really doesnt bother me because well..... they are talking about the Bears in the Super Bowl. That aint to bad, no team is perfect.

 

If any of you have HBO did you watch Inside the NFL last week? NFL films does a great job of covering the games. Lotsa game highlights of the Bears/Saints game. I have it on DVR and have watched the Bears highlights like 4 times.

[Banedon]

NFL Network On Demand (free) has the Bears "Chase to the Championship" or something like that. It's an NFL films compliation of the season. It's very fun.

Bill Simmons hasn't made his pick (or really talked about the game for that matter), but he did tip his hand in today's article:

 

And frankly, much like Rex Grossman and the Bears, I'm just happy to be here.

Simmons has had us losing a ton of games this year-----the fact that he picks against us is a positive.

[David]

Just curious... and I hate to take any pride whatsoever in the Sox World Series, but if the Bears win this weekend, that'll be 8 major professional sports championships since 1991.

 

I'm sure I'm missing someone, but can any other city top that?

Yeah, and if he picks us, I'm not going to be happy either. In fairness to Simmons though, he is picking against the spread, and the Bears and Colts both were heavy favorites in many games, which makes it tempting to pick the underdog to cover. In addition, both the Bears and Colts played the Patriots, and of course Simmons is going to pick the Patriots in that case.

 

Ugh-I can't believe I just defended him.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Ugh-I can't believe I just defended him.

I found myself doing that once. Don't you just feel dirty now?

Let's just say that it's an experience that will be even harder to repeat than it was to do it the first time :D

Even without the win this weekend, I think Chicago takes the title...this is thrown together real fast, so it's possible I'm off...also this is only NFL, NBA, and MLB.

 

 

Chicago 8

New York 5

Boston 4

Dallas 3

St Louis 2

Houston 2

Toronto 2

Miami 2

St Louis 2

Denver 2

Minneapolis 1

Atlanta 1

Phoenix 1

Anaheim 1

Washington 1

San Francisco 1

Green Bay 1

Baltimore 1

Tampa Bay 1

Pittsburgh 1

 

So basically Jordan's Bulls have more Championships than any other city has combined Championships in all the 3 leagues.

[Soul]

Yeah but take out those Jordan championships (which seem like forever ago for me), and Chicago's not doing all that great

I don't know. I'm not sure why you'd say take them out... The Yankees and Lakers championships seem like forever ago too. They still count.

 

Plus, right now, Chicago sports are in pretty good, if not great, shape. The Bulls, Bears, and (dare I say) Cubs all could conceivably be playing for their championships at the end of their respective seasons this year (one, obviously, already is)... It doesn't hurt that things aren't looking quite so up for the Sox anymore, either.

Right, the Bears are just happy to be there. That must be why they have a giant banner that says FINISH at their hotel. I'm really happy that we don't have some homer jagbag like Simmons embarrassing himself and the city on ESPN.com.

I don't mean to really "take out" the Bulls championships. I'm just saying they seem like a long time ago and since then it's been the White Sox and that's it.

 

Who's got the 8th championship since '91 anyway? Bulls had 6. White Sox had 1. Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Hawks, Bears----nothing other than those. That's 7, not 8. Are we counting the Rush?

[CuseCubFan69]

If you add Hockey Detroit has quite a few. Plus, you forgot their NBA title(s).
