Laisseez les bon temps roulez!

Let the good times roll! The Chicago Bears are heading to the Super Bowl! Amazing as that sounds given the critical review they were so often subjected to, they just keep rollin' along. There have been some major bumps along the way but the team seems to generally rise to the occasion. Yesterday was no exception. The Bears stunned all the pundits by beating the Saints 39-14. The Chicago defense allowed two scores while scoring four takeaways. The offense committed the only penalty, a false start, but registered nearly two hundred yards running the ball. Rex Grossman, flawed as he has been, played an excellent game; I've not heard any criticism of him yet.

As an added treat, my brother's Colts will face the Bears. While there may have been something interesting in rematching the Super Bowl XX Patriots, I'll enjoy the family aspect of this one. As usual, the Bears enter this game as the underdog. When will they learn? ; )
