Bears 27, Seahawks 24
The Chicago Bears are going to the NFC Championship game for the first time since 1988. Now would every Bears fan with a brain in their head please LAY OFF REX GROSSMAN. Rex had the single best performance of any quarterback this past weekend. Better than Tom Brady, better than Peyton Manning. Even the brainless, meatball fan, who thinks that the SNL superfans skits are something to aspire to: This man took several brutal shots, was bleeding from his throwing hand, and still made a CLUTCH pass to Rashied Davis to set up the game winning field goal. I'm not belittling Goulde's field goal, or any other play made on Sunday, but any Bears fan who from this point on who has the temerity to want Rex Grossman to fail, do us all a favor, and move your residence to about 2 miles due East of Chicago.
To anyone who thinks that there is any thing at stake in this upcoming game other than a spot in the Superbowl: You can call The Saints America's team. They might even beat the Bears. What the outcome of this or any other football game cannot do is undo the damage wrought by Katrina. A td by Reggie Bush will not move people out of goveernment subsidized trailers, and back into their homes. A George Halas trophy for the Saints will not turn back time, and make it so that the levees never broke. The Saints are a cute feel good story, but the cold hard truth is that the disaster of Hurricane Katrina is 100% mutually exclusive from the New Orleans Saints being a good football team. The only thing at stake in this game is a free trip to Miami, for a punchers chance at winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and that's motivation enough.
