Week 11 Bears Recap and Week 12 NFL Picks
We have a lot to get to this week and not a lot time. Games start Thursday and I'm flying to Chicago on Wednesday so it all has to be compacted into one double-issue.
Sunday:
Bears win and Cubs sign Alfonso Soriano. It's a beautiful day in LA. The Bears just shut out the Jets, moving to 9-1 and the Cubs go and make a move only the Yankees and Red Sox seemed capable of the past six years.
Then I go and ruin the whole thing by watching the Bulls sleepwalk through a loss at the Staples Center versus the Lakers. The game was fun enough but leaving the stadium wearing my Michael Jordan jersey I was the subject of many taunts by cowardly LA fans.
LA fans are the worst. They won't say anything to you before the game, fearful of being struck down by an earthquake or botched facelift. But as soon as the game is over, if their team (of which they are probably only a bandwagon fan) has won, they get right in your face with their stinking beer breath and scream HILARIOUS things like "Later, losers! Later, losers!" and "Lakers for life, homey!" Man, I really hate their guts.
Anyways, I'm not giving up on the Bulls. LA fans, however, are a lost cause.
