    That channel is MASN, which is part of the RSN Sports Pack (as mentioned before). You purchase that package and you get all the regional sports networks ---- the Fox channels, Comcasts, I think YES network and a few other odds and ends are on that one. I don't have it because I get Comcast Chicago as part of my basic package. No carribean W.S. for me :(

    I know. Even Super Bowl 41 somehow becomes about *him*. For a supposedly humble Mormon, he sure is egotistical.

    Wow, the NFL just announced there will be a regular season game played in London next year. Giants/Phins -- week 8, Wembley Stadium.

    The bench is finally respectable. Before this year is over, I'm betting we're going to reap the benefits. Somebody's going to get injured and this year we've got a few players who can keep us playing good baseball until the starter comes off the injury list (unlike last year).

    The Super Bowl is really all about the coporate sponsors and the casual, rich fans. And celebrities. Somebody said there will be 65,000+ seats available, and only 25,000 go to the season ticket holders. This game is football taken to Academy Award levels. It's when people who don't pay attention all year long finally sit down and watch football.

    He's going to need to learn that when the chips are down, running right into the teeth of the defense and attempting to get off a wild, well-defended shot isn't going to win you many games. But yeah, I'm impressed. 2 road wins in a row out west for the Bulls. Yes, they were against weaker teams, but we need this badly.

    I think at some point Hester has to break loose or at least find a few holes to give the Bears good field position. And Hester's still a wild card. I have no idea what the pressure of the Super Bowl is going to do to him. If he starts bobbling the ball it could be trouble. I'm pretty worried about that...

    After Sweet Lou has led us to three in as many years with the team. 8-) Lou retires, hands the reins to Matheny, we sweep the season series vs. the Cards and win our 4th World Series!! ***wakes up***

    This must have been some kind of arby deal or something. $4.5mil for the MVP just sounds so cheap.

    By hook or crook, Bears. Win This Game

    Many of the people in the media that I've heard pick the Colts actually are saying that they think the Colts are a better overall team right now. For example, I heard both John Elway and Chris Simms say this on the Dan Patrick show. Bears have 2/3 better units. There can be no question about this. It's just that Colts offense is much better than ours.

    Joe Buck is an Alien. Bears Vs. The World (and Manning too)

    And the TV Guide reads: Sunday, 5pm Super Bowl XLI: Bears vs. The World

    Accuscore's only 6-4 in the playoffs. Not all that great. But yes: this will be very tough. We'll need to play extremely well to win this game.
  17. Soul
    Bears vs. The World, once again. Apparently we shouldn't even bother showing up Sunday.

    I realize that. But how did he make more of a difference in the SF game than the Detroit game? The stats are very similar (including the score). Unless you're talking about the second Detroit game... I was talking about the first one-that game is right on the border. The only reason I gave it to him is that 17 of the 24 points in the first half came on drives that started on the Chicago 30 or worse. The TO's helped Detroit not score, but it didn't put the offense right in position to score, and Grossman led them down the field 3 times in the first half to help make the game a blowout. I'm not sure how you even measure the stat "made a huge difference" Pretty speculative. He's the QB, he had some really good games, and the Bears won by some big margins. That's about as far as I think anyone can go.

    He'll manage the Cubs to the World Series. Oh, sweet retribution!! :D

    You weren't paying attention if that's what you think. There were a probably a handful of times in the first half where Grossman threw balls away intentionally in an attempt to be extra cautious. He certainly missed some throws (one in particular to Clark in the endzone) but I didn't think he was wildy erratic or anything. That's why I couldn't understand why Aikman and Buck were harping on his slow start, percentage-wise. A QB has to not only not make mistakes-they have to make plays. Even if you take away 5 incompletions as throwaways (which every QB has, BTW) Grossman still started 4/13. 60 percent is considered average for a professional QB. Under 50 percent is considered as being pretty bad, and Grossman's 4/18 start, or 22.5 percent was simply awful. I'll bet there weren't 5 QB's this year all season besides Rex that ever started a game that poorly in completion percentage with so many attempts. Yet his QB rating this postseason is better than Peyton's. And he's thrown way fewer INTs.... If he's so terrible how did he ever manage to do that? In huge, nationally televised games? Under the microscope of the entire planet who said he would implode against Seattle and the Saints?

    The experts are picking against us. Madden says we'll lose. The Media says we have no chance. Even Vince Neill says we can't win. I guess the Bears should just forfeit the game. Why bother even showing up?

    John Clayton's article today pretty much says Harper won't play. He said that he's only been able to get about 10 min of running in this week, and that he's wearing a boot. While that bodes well for us, I hope that Grossman just doesn't key on whoever is replacing Harper and go after him...I want Rex to go through his reads as he normally would. Clayton's article also says Rex has been bad more than good this season. Which is plain wrong any way you try and look at it. Yeah, I don't get that. I suppose if you define "good" as Manning-esque 100+ QB ratings, then yeah Rex only had 7 games like that. But I don't think Peyton had more than 8 100+ QB rating games either, did he? I've been hearing alot on the radio about "Rex getting frustrated" and "Rex fires on the media" I didn't hear the interview, but reading this article it kind of sounds like the moment was actually a humorous one: http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/couriernews/sports/240266,3_2_EL02_C05BEARS_S1.article

    Wow, I killed the Bear/Colts thread 8-) I was JOKING folks. I know the Colts won't be trying to cheat. Just getting a little too excited for this game. People at work think I'm crazy----got my Urlacher jersey on, my NFC Champions hat; greaseboard has all kinds of crazy Bear drawings on it. LOL, too much fun :wink:

    You're taking an awwwwwwwful lot of reliever stats and ERA+'s from years ago to build that hope on, wolf.
  25. Soul
    QFT. I'm just glad its getting some congressional attention...I honestly don't care what party or person is bringing it up. This'll get about as much attention in congress as the slaughter in Sudan. I.E. zilch.
