Midway through the fourth quarter and the Vikings have a rather comfortable 30-10 lead over the Bears. To be honest, I’m not really in to the game, but from the little pieces I have picked up, the following milestones have occurred: Favre threw his 500th career touchdown pass, Cutler threw his league-leading 20th completion to a non-teammate, and for the third-straight week, Lovie Smith made a halftime phone call inquiring about the availability of the head-coaching job at Bethune-Cookman.

I love how Troy Aikman persists in talking about the Bears playoff chances riding on this game. If the Bears don’t win right now, they’ll have an awfully hard road ahead of them! Oh, Troy, you ridiculous asshole. The Bears have been out of the playoff race since Cedric Benson went not-Cedric Benson on their asses in Week 7.

Ugh. And I’m so sick of the Bears repeatedly failing to take advantage of their very good field position. Not just today, but all season long, either Johnny Knox, Devin Hester or Danieal Manning have gotten them in a great situation and they either settle for three points or turn it over …

Well, that’s all for me. Your newest writer, Gavin, will surely have some words for you later tonight. After all, he is at the game! Yay? So, unless Olin Kreutz sucker punches Jared Allen in the face and I can catch it on video, I’ll see you all, surely dejected fans tomorrow.

Oh, and don’t forget: We’re on Facebook now! In case you wanted more ways to follow the misadventures of an American football team.
