Woe is the Bears, and woe is me for taking the over

Hey, Bear fans I know you need a lift. Don't moan and groan about the misery at the Metrodome. Just reflect on 1965 when Rudy "The Rifle" Bukich playing for Papa Bear George Halas, led the NFL - no kidding! - in passing.
 
Thank the good lord that the Bears' third down defense was not our first line of defense in World War II.
 
Joe Buck, obviously trying to pump up a B-movie, began the Fox 'cast by saying, "The Bears really need this game." I couldn't agree more. With a win the Bears could have closed this dump truck season 8 and 8.
 
Part of me says that Troy Aikman is so crazy about Jay Cutler that he wears Jay's number 6 jersey to bed. Or maybe Troy slips into custom made Cutler silk pajamas. Another part of me says that Aikman feels sorry for Cutler because the poor guy is surrounded by so many stumble bums.
 
I'm convinced that referee Walt Coleman and his crew wanted the third quarter to last until New Year's Eve.
 
Don't get hostile about Anthony Adams, the Bears celebrated defensive tackle. So he drew a penalty for failing to report as an eligible receiver. Hey, it takes time to work out the kinks. The season is only 11 games old.
 
Book it. Percy Harvin, the Minnesota showcase receiver,  will only drive the Bears nuts for the next 11 years.
 
Make it a point to be at Soldier Field December 28 when the Bears get their chance to draw blood from the Vikes. Why? Oh, please, it will be Brett Favre's last appearance on the lakefront until 2010, not to mention 2011.
 
Time is running out. The two teams have combined to score 46 points. I bet the over at 47. Well, they don't build those joints in Vegas because the public wins.
 
Oh, did I ask you this? What's your favorite memory of the Gaines Adams era.
Gaines who? You know, the guy Jerry Angelo brought to Halas Hall from Tampa for a second round pick.
 
A Notre Dame nugget!!! The Fighting Irish obviously won't miss Charlie Weis as a leader but they will miss him as a recruiter. I'll have more on that later this week. Plus I'll tell you why defensive boss John tenuta is the real culprit in the South Bend demise.
