Postgame

OK, the Bears are in. To me, they did what they do best--use defense and special teams to get ahead, by creating turnovers. I admit I didn't expect them to get this far with Grossman. But I don't know that Indy will be able to get much pressure on him, so he may do allright.
Nice to see the Manning story come though since the New Orleans revival didn't, but I made the mistake of watching the postgame show to that game, and what do I hear? Both the owner and the coach giving profuse thanks to God for the win. Please, just shoot me. Are these guys really that stupid?
What is it about New England that made God change his mind? Obviously, he liked them plenty when he made them win those Super Bowls...but they must have done something pretty damned bad to make God suddenly change His mind. And since He's infallible, how come He didn't see whatever that transgression was coming?
Oh, well, that's another tangent. But I can give you a solid pick on the Super Bowl. Take the team that makes fewer turnovers. It's about a 90% lock. Every other prediction is b.s.
