Better Than That...

The only thing that I can say about last night's Super Bowl Sunday game is...

The Bears are better than that.

And no...That's not a bitter reply to the great play of the Indianapolis Colts and their ability to maintain long drives. I firmly believe if not for a couple of bad choices by Rex Grossman in the second half, the Lombardi Trophy is heading for a trip down a parade route in the South Loop.

Here are a few of my thoughts during the game.

* The Colts intro to the 'Who's' Baba O'Reilly...Nice choice.
* Peyton Manning has incredible presence.
* Brian Urlacher is a beast.
* The Bears are ready
* Devin Hester...The magic bullet...Goddamn, the guy can run. I firmly believe that no one has electrified the NFL like Hester has this season with his kick and punt returns. Yes, that includes Deion. He didn't do it like Devin has...Especially, with the pressure on each return. He has won games with them.
* A 'TO'...Now, we're moving.
* Man, is it starting to pour or what?

* Thomas Jones is my main man...Always will be. Please run TJ.
* TJ breaks loose. That's what I'm talking about. The fact that he and his brother roll around Miami in a orange blue Ferrari makes him even more of a bad-ass.
* Here comes Cedric Benson...As much as I've never trusted him and I've been down on him since his holdout, he is a banger...when healthy.

* I'm still not a Cedric Benson fan...After this fumble, will I ever be?
* Ruben Brown is a beast. Let's run.
* Cedric...Cedric...Your knee? I'm telling you about this guy...I'm not going to bang on him now. As much as I don't like Cedric, we need him. Without him, we could be in trouble. The Colts have the worst run 'D' in the league, we need him when TJ is tired.

* Is it me...? Or after watching numerous commercials this past weekend and the Snickers and Doritos ads, does every commercial these days make every white male appear either to be a complete duphus, push-over, moron, or guy who are afraid of their sexuality? Not that those traits are bad or funny for a guy...But it's getting a little tired.

Then again, the ads are for Super Bowl Sunday. Please discuss.

* A dropped snap...Reeexxxx...Not now.
* Will Phil Simms shut-up about the Bears being tired. These guys have rolled hard all year long, and they've had two weeks to rest. They're in shape. The ground is soaked, which slows everyone down. Yet, they're holding in the red zone.

Just because Phil is pissy over the Bears whooping that @$$ in January of '86 and on the Monday night in '88, he should stop the hate. Phil, you're a journ--...I mean commen...I mean a talking overr-...Whatever...He's out of his head.

By the way, you think someone from CBS wanted to clench his throat when he tried to deadpan David Spade's show. Nice try at being Madden or a tough guy. Snapper-head!

* Another drop...Again?
* Unbelievably, we're still in this one.
* Yet, of all the ways to go down...Joseph Addai and Rhodes are killing us.

* Prince is simply...'The Mack.' Man, that guy still looks like he's 30, but who the hell cares? Purple Rain too...Wow. My request: Sign o' The Times.

* Why for the love of God are we not running Thomas Jones? If I hear it's because of the O-line again, I'll send you four day old guac...
* 13 Carries...88 yards....Please run Thomas Jones.

* Nice call to 'Moosh' up the middle.
* What the hell was that throw for?...Wow. That was devastating.

* Run...Run...Throw?
* Where was Rex throwing that one? Talk about an underthrown ball.
* Now, you run Thomas Jones.
* With their first round selection, the Chicago Bears select...Offensive lineman...

* This is killing me...I'm out. Back to the papers.

Bears 2008,
