Never to fear, when edgar is here.
My pick:
Chicago gonna hose'em down,
Be on 'em like funny on a clown.
It be hut hut hut touchdown.
It be interceptions and sacks
Tackling in whole gangs and packs
Other team be all piled up in stacks.
Bears beers Bears beers Bears beers
beers Bears beers Bears beers Bears
Oh my, Edgar. I took one of the little red pills and then one of the little green pills that my doctor had prescribed. And then I sent pm's to 13, I say 13, different folks here. A personalized message to each of them from Canada to Mexico and across the width of the US. One big surge, as it were. A final hurrah. Nagging anyone I could find who had ever expressed an interest in this game.
A response from Ehbeth saying she was pondering and a response from Edgar saying, I think, he favors the Bears. Final score, Edgar.?
Amusing. Real(critical error)JohnBoy
Oh, no, not another surge...
she says in her most neutral voice..
Final score:
Bears: 31
Those other guys: 13
If the Bears' defense continues to play at the level that they did against the Saints, and Grossman doesn't make any bad mistakes and continues to play conservatively, then it won't be much of a contest.
Bears 33, Colts 17

Yeah! Let's hear it for the extremists!!! Sorry, Sublime, but only one of us can be right, and it will be me. After the game you can all just refer to me as Nostra-Kicky-damus.
Damn!
Nostra-Kicky-damus picked the Colts by a bigger margin than I did.
All right RJB... sorry Bears fans... 30-24 Colts win.
Mini-Ditkas: 86
Colts: -2
The air in Chicago has just gone from toxic to hallucinogenic.
Colts: 34
Bears: 31

The Bears made a nice little run but all good things must end. After the inevitable loss to the Colts, sublime will stand on his patio overlooking the Windy City, and a tear will gently cascade down his face and he will be heard to mutter, "So many miles of swimming only to perish at the shore."
Then he will walk back inside, pop in his saddest blues cd, and grab the bottle of Johnny Walker Red by the neck in preparation of a proper soul-cleansing.
And this thread, at that precise moment, will go up in flames.
Gus. You are so close. But. Sublime does not have a patio there on the 34th floor. And his condo does not face towards the lake but towards the city. You can see the Cubs field from his place. You can sort of see the Sears tower, or at least a bit of that.
Sublime has an amazing collection of music. An amazing assortment. What music he chooses to go with his whiskey when the Bears lose is his choice.
The rest of us will survive.
Did I say anything about his patio facing the lake, Johnny? And, yes, he does have a patio, but he didn't want you to see it.
He told me, "Gus, I decided to keep my patio a secret from realjohnnyboy. I think that much height would scare him. Did I do the right thing?"
I assured him he did and we continued talking about his music collection.
With all respect, Gus...I visited Sublimes's condo there on the bank of the lake. It faced to to the west. No patio.
If Sublime were to hurl himself out of the window of his condo when the Bears lose, he would land near the swimming pool. It was quite warm when we were there in May, so Sublime, Cicerone, Johnboy and several other guys spent a lot of time smoking outside, admiring the young ladies who were pretending to want to go unnoticed next to the pool.
The lesser of two evils.
Colts, it'll have to be.
By 2. 26 - 24.
