Sports: A General Overview 12.28.05

Since I'm not a *huge* sports fan, I'll just lump all of the various things I want to talk about into this post. Randing from multiple Bears wins, to the anticipation of the Fiesta Bowl on January 2, Holiday Break has been an exciting time for Midwest sports fans.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears
Da Bears and their clutch defense have been through much in the past weeks. They won against the Atlanta Falcons in negative degree weather on the 18th of December with the help of Rex. See- that's what it's about; if someone isn't scoring the points, they need to be reconsidered. On that note, Kyle Orton has had a hell of a decent rookie season, but with that in consideration - the defense probably scored more points than he has on offense.
When I heard the announcer say "and after the half, we'll see Rex Grossman for the first time in regulation play this season," I was blown away. Looking back, it was undoubtedly strategy on part of the higher-ups like Jerry Angelo, Lovie Smith, and the other coaches.
Grossman came back and within the first few plays everyone agreed that it was the right choice. He lead them to a victory over the Falcons, which was frickin *huge!*

Da Cheese
The Packers game was very solid football and held my entertainment until the final seconds. For a game like that on Christmas day, definitely lived up to the hype and the rivalry juices flowed. Too keep it breif - the final minutes of the game exemplified the whole game and relationship between the Bears and Packers; a valiant effort by Brett Favre, only to be shut down and shoved down his throat in a nitty gritty final few minutes. The deliverance of a solid ass-kicking, so to speak. (Yeah, somewhere in between the 2 consecutive sacks and the interception.)

The Fightin' Irish
All I have to say is;
January 2 - First BCS Bowl of the year - Fiesta Bowl
Notre Dame vs. Ohio State
It's gonna be huge.
