"The Bears Are Who We THOUGHT They Were!"
We're gonna talk a bit more about last night's Buzzsaw implosion a little later, but we really felt we had to start the day with coach Dennis Green — who is pretty obviously going to be fired before this season ends — putting forth one of the true great postgame press conference explosions.

God, We Hate The Buzzsaw

Welcome To The NFL, Matty
Because everyone we talk to in St. Louis says it's been raining all day and is likely to rain all night, so we are less than optimistic that we'll see the NLCS Game 5 tonight.

The Tigers Are Making The World A Better Place
OK, now that we have the floor, we, like pretty much everybody not from the Bay Area, were ecstatic to see the Detroit Tigers clinch their first World Series trip since 1984 over the weekend, in pretty much the most exciting way possible: A walk-off shot at home.

MJD covered this over the weekend, but we really feel like we had to weigh in: We have absolutely no idea what was racist about what Steve Lyons was fired for saying during Friday's A's-Tigers broadcast....
Coming To You Live From The "Underground"
We make fun of ESPN a bit around here, but it's all in fun: We recognize that it's still the station that sports fans watch more than any other, mostly because of the healthy discourse and thought-provoking analysis of Colin Cowherd, Stephen A.
