Okay, so I said I'd do a valentine to Lovie and write a love song to Jerry Angelo if the Bears beat the Packers.
They did.
My jaw is still dropped like a hockey puck.
Just a fabulous game - so many big plays they sort of blurred together. It helped a ton that the Packers just flipped out and got called for penalty after penalty - none of them really controversial but rather, they just committed them.
Anyway, I believe now.
Okay?
There's definitely something there.
Also: Detroit MUST be better than anybody thinks, if the Bears came THIS close to losing to them.
Or something.
Anyway, here's my valentine, Lovie:
And to Jerry Angelo, this song based on "Bear Down, Chicago Bears":
Never try to beat "You're the pride and joy of Illinois."
It is perhaps the greatest line ever written.
Meanwhile in San Diego...
The Cubs have twice beaten the once runaway 1st place Padres and knocked them to two games behind the San Francisco Giants. First Carlos Zambrano got his 10th win, shutting them out 1 - zip on Monday, and last night Ryan Dempster got his 15th W, 5-2, with a couple dingers from Alfonso Soriano.
Tonight will be Randy Wells starting in the Cubs 5th to last game of 2010.
