I really do love this time of year. Football is reaching its halfway point, the World Series is on, the hot days are (hopefully) over with for the year and the time is finally about to change back to normal. I never liked daylight savings. Anyway, after going to Chicago last week to see the Bears defeat the Vikings at Soldier Field in Chicago, I was able to watch more games on TV this week.
I flew my Bears flag that I got at Soldier Field last week and watched most of the second half after Noah and I got back from running errands. Given the two strong defenses, it was expected to be a close game (Chris Berman said that the score was likely to be something close to the 5-3 score in the baseball game the night before). Even though they are only 3-3, the Bears are in a tie for the lead of the NFC ‘Norris Division’ with Detroit who won a surprising victory over Cleveland after benching Joey Harrington in favor of veteran Jeff Garcia. I’m surprised that the Vikings were able to win against Green Bay, the 52 points the Redskins hung up on San Francisco (sorry, Dale and Rina) and that the Bengals finally returned to earth. San Francisco, Tennessee and Houston are all in real trouble and it’s clear that the AFC will be decided in Indy.
