Barbaro Forever (Yep)
This is the the third day after Barbaro's death, which if we're remembering our scripture correctly is the day that He is supposed to return from the dead, emerge from his tomb and speak to the apostles (although it may be difficult moving that heavy round rock with his hooves). We eagerly await any...
What This Means For Us: The Chicago Bears

Yeah! We're Game Too!
We can't quite put our finger on why we find this "I'm Always Game (For Some Football)" video so entertaining, but we do, without reservation. You can't tell us this isn't better than Pink. If Spike ever gets NFL games, this should probably be the intro....

Deconstructing Bear Vs. Colt
A shocking result in Tuesday's episode of Bear vs. Colt . With the score tied at two wins apiece, neither of them won!

So Lift Your Glass To Barbaro, And Sing No Mournful Songs
Yes, it's sad that Barbaro is gone, but all of this talk of angels and candles and galloping around in the clouds is making our neck chafe, like when we were a kid and had to wear the clip-on tie in Sunday school.
