What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Jan. 31, 2007 at 8:23 a.m.

Ten thoughts leading into Super Bowl XLI:

  1. Isn't it amazing how Tony Dungy's low-key demeanor went from being criticized for past playoff losses to praised for the comeback win over New England? Dungy hasn't changed. Winning changes perceptions.
  2. I will never, ever hope the Bears win a game, let alone a Super Bowl. But, it's impossible to dislike Lovie Smith. I don't subscribe to the "I'll cheer for the NFC North team" theory. It's not like the division is my alma mater.
  3. Please don't ask me on Monday which commercial I liked the best. That's like watching the Oscars for the dresses.
  4. My least favorite Super Bowl was when the Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Giants. I hated both teams. I think that's the only time in the previous 40 Super Bowls that happened.
  5. Will the NFL planet fall off its axis if Rex Grossman outplays Peyton Manning Sunday? I think Grossman is being trashed too much and may respond with a better performance than many expect.
  6. What's the over-under on CBS shots of the Manning luxury box during the game? Five? Ten? I like Archie, but please....
  7. The verbal attacks on the two Midwest cities have already started from some of the arrogant writers from both coasts. Ignore them. I like Chicago and I like Indianapolis and could care less what somebody from the Los Angeles Times thinks.
  8. Those magic words we've been waiting for: "And now here's Katie Couric with a pre-game feature." No Super Bowl Sunday is complete without a news anchor trying to appeal to sports fans.
  9. If the networks are smart, they'll do a feature on former Raiders coach Tom Flores. For all of the talk about minority coaches, Flores, who is Hispanic, won a pair of Super Bowls more than 20 years ago.
  10. How would Tank Johnson celebrate a Bears victory in the Super Bowl? Wait, I'm not sure I want to know. It probably includes a multiple-gun salute.

Enjoy the game!

on item #2, this is part of the problem with this rivalry.... jamokes like you who spread the hate for Chicago... Why wouldn't you root for the Bears if the Packers aren't in it... and why isn't the NFC the conference you should be rooting for... ? I'll tell you what... this rivalry is GREAT... and should be just that a RIVALRY... but good God... leave the hate at the door... some of the best comments I've heard were after the last game of the year... "Good luck in the super bowl..!" was the major comment form the packers fans to the Bears fans... it's writers like you and most other media reports that can't focus on anything but the negative... get over it... and get over your self... now... #10, yes.. I'm sure we will hear multiple automatic guns firing in the air after the Bears win Sunday... I agree with you on this comment... see.. I'm open minded enough to at least admit I agree AND can root for the Packers if they ever make it back to the super bowl... Keith
