Sometimes the Headlines Write Themselves
If only it were a Photoshop...

Conventional Wisdom
This writer (well, not much of one the last few months - at least in terms of volume) will be forced to miss the Cubs Convention this weekend. It just as well, Paul Sullivan tells us that at the Convention, "Cubs players and executives meet with the Chicago media in a social setting for interviews and small talk. Fans and bloggers are not allowed, with the exception of the blog that lauds every move of the Ricketts and the Cubs' higher-ups."
Frankly, the Cubs aren't very interesting right now, especially with the prospect of a Bears playoff game with the potential future of a Bears-Packers NFC title game.
Excitement for this weekend's Bears game seems to be light. Everyone seems to be waiting for the next game. Perhaps they see Seattle and aren't interested because Seattle is a poor excuse for a playoff football team. Perhaps they look at this team and see a flawed team and coaching staff and aren't getting their hopes up.
Well, the reality is that teams that people didn't think were good enough to win Superbowls have gone and just won them anyway. It's happened many times. Even as recently as the Giants defeating the BEST TEAM EVAR Patriots.
Why not the 2010 Bears?
Sure seems to be more interesting to see if this team gets lucky than mucking around an undersold hotel, especially if you aren't a suck up.

25 Years Ago Today...
Yeah, this site has been dark for a while. Hopefully, that ends soon. Until then, enjoy...
