Gail, Bears Superfan
Time to reply to some of the Superfan Bloggers questions. Eileen, you asked how we all felt about responding to "There's a time-out". That's never bothered me. I'll usually respond with the "where?", too.
Marcus, I never questioned the idea of having a favorite NFC and AFC team, or even if you just have a favorite team other than the Bears. Like Mark said, that's part of the fun of the game.
Danielle, I will probably never learn how to post my picture or any other with my post. I tried to include a pic of Devin last night. I got it downloaded twice but I don't know where it is. As for my pic, I know how to copy/paste but can't get it to work.
Kenneth, I read your first paragraph over a few times where you mentioned me, but I have no idea what you were trying to say. Guess I'm a bit slow.
Yes, Rex is calm and confident. In his press conference he said that he never played so badly and still got a win. That certainly is confident since if any single player got the win I would think it was Brian.
Maybe the 43 yard running game wasn't going so well, but instead of "chucking" the ball out blindly, wouldn't it be better to not score with the running game instead of letting the other team continuously score because you can't see your players? There a time and a place for a "Hail Mary", not on every throw. If a certain QB for the Colts had the same kind of game you wouldn't be as generous with your compliments.
Besides producing 6 points, what did Peanut do? He did what he had to do to help the team win.
And why can't a former basketball player who also works in broadcasting be part of the group in the booth? Boors and Bernstein from the Score thought the entire Monday night crew should be fired and replaced with Charles Barkley. They said he's knowledgeable, humerous, and an excellent broadcaster.
Paul, you asked about game-day rituals and superstitions. I normally wear Bears clothing and jewelry. I used to wear a Scooby Doo bandaid when RW was still on the team. If at home I even sing the Bears fight song when they score (yes, Dennis Green, crowning the Bears....). This was a first having to work and miss most of the game. When I got home I didn't take time to change clothes and I was screaming too much to sing the fight song after each score. I did manage to keep chanting "turnover, turnover" to the Defense...and, superstitiously I'll believe that the game didn't turn around until I finally got home in front of the tv.
GO BEARS!

Don't worry Gail, I didn't mean it as a negative towards you, it's a knock on Rex for indeed throwing as many touchdowns as you, myself, Marcus, or anybody else on this blog threw for the Bears Monday night, which is zero. Hopefully our stats aren't as comparable to Rex's in the future, or the Bears maybe in trouble. I'm not sure if we would've turned the ball over as many times as him though...
Hey, Kenneth, I would be lucky to throw the ball two yards so I hope Rex doesn't keep up with my record....interacting makes for good blogging...
