Damn -- its cold in Chicago. I was watching the game vs. Minnesota at my house thinking, "Why the hell is anybody at that game?". Then I remembered - Chicago has the craziest (and most insane) fans in the league. They're passionate, they want to win at any cost, and they want to get excited about everything (even if its too excited). Case in point: In the beginning of the season, Chicago's finest were praising Rex Grossman, the savior. Forget that they've (literally) had over 25 starting quarterbacks in the past 12 seasons. No, this time they got it right with Rex. And here comes the Super Bowl. Right? RIGHT?????!!!!!

But -- as we saw on Sunday, Rex Grossman is more representative of idolatry than anything God like. 6 for 19, 34 yards and 3 INTs is nothing to bow down to, and I'm sure any true supernatural presence isn't happy about anybody in Chicago bowing down to the man.

On the other hand, I'm sure God is totally unthreatened by Devin Hester becoming akin to idol worship. This man is on fire, returning another punt for a touchdown, and hitting the record books on Sunday. I mean, what God wouldn't want to watch Devin Hester? Is there a potential prophet on the horizon here? Just to let our imagination run -- if this were biblical times, what role do you think Devin Hester would play? My bet is he would get those commandments down that hill faster than Moses. And get this, he'd be so good at running those commandments to the Israelites, God would probably make him do it a total of 4 different times in the same year (a record). This would give us 40 commandments. Can you imagine what a great world it would be if we had 40 COMMANDMENTS? Thus, feasibly, Devin Hester could have bred pure peace and harmony in Biblical Times. And if we're talking New Testament, I wonder which tune Devin would have sang in Jesus Christ Superstar. These are questions that will never be answered.

Back on track, it was cold in Chicago. Back in college, I refused to go to games with my boyfriend if it was cold. And get this, he wanted to tailgate before hand. He was crazy. I never understood why he wanted me to come, but I got a sense that he wanted to show me off to his friends. He was a borderline pervert in that sense... that's why I dumped him.

Anyway, there's a great piece on my favorite website (listed in my signature below) about two frigid California girls who haplessly found themselves seated in Soldier Field on the coldest weekend ever. It's hysterical, and you should all check it out.

Until next time --

See, I would have so gone with Mercury of Roman Mythology on that or the Greek diety Hermes ...cause the man can't be caught...you sooooo missed the boat on that...

I mean sure a prophet can split the red sea, yada, yada, yada...but they have an old feable look...

But a swift god of Greek mythology (or Roman take your pick) bolting out of mount Olympus...well then you got something...

But hey, who am I to tell you how to worship...

Tom Shannon, of Chicago Bears Fan Blog, gives a great analysis of last night's Bears-Rams game, says this about Devon Hester.

Message to the league: DON'T KICK TO DEVON HESTER.

Does anyone disagree with this? The guy is unreal.

So what if you kick away from him...I am sure Chicag ocan come up with a play to lateral him the ball across the field...

For whatever reason, whether it is the pounding they take or the fact that they eventually become part of the offense to make use of their skills, the great kick returners have a very short shelf life. I am sure it will be the same with Hester. A couple of years ago Dante Hall with the Chiefs was "the best of all time", averaging oer 16 yards a return, now he is at 8.9.
