Rex in Effect

Da Bears will turn to Rex Grossman for Sunday's game vs. the undefeated Titans. I'm going to call it right here -- Bears 24, Titans 17. Oops - just checked the weather report: rain/snow showers. Let's go with Bears 13, Titans 10 in OT. It's a shame that Kyle Orton's progress towards legit starting NFL QB was slowed by this ankle injury. He wants to play Sunday but I think he and his neck beard should sit at least til the Packers in week 11.

Without cheating, name the teams whose home stadiums are below.

this is more about baseball, but....I TOLD YOU SO! C'mon, you have to admit that was deserved -- go back and read your "pedroia has got OK offensive numbers, but brian roberts is in a league of his own defensively among 2nd baseman" remark this past season...then i think you made some snarky comment about how d-ped having zero chance at the gold glove...

ooohhh, I know, I know! (One of them anyway).

I just can't wait for all the recent Sox fans (who knew that 63% of Americans are Boston natives?) to sport their brand news Rays caps next year.

D-Ped ended up the Sox MVP and will likely be a very homely all-star for years to come. I still think Roberts is a better fielder. We all know that offensive numbers and name recognition affect Gold Glove awards. Can't an O's fan cling to one thing?

Neck beard or no, I have to agree with Momo that he is sorta cute. And, that's as much as a football analysis as I can really offer.

ted said...

OK, so i got you down from "in a league of his own defensively" to "still think he's a better infielder". i guess that's as much progress as i can expect... Jeesh, I thought my 3 yr old daughter was stubborn.....

TK - that reminds me of your favorite sports movie: "A League of Their Own."

Julie - 'Sexy Rexy' does not have a neck beard. The Neck Bearded One is Kyle Orton. Now that you're on record as thinking he's sexy, you should check out this blog:

Like, OMG! LOL! A PINK sports blog! So perfect for me! No doubt I will finally cross the barrier into fandom now.

BTW, my "word verification" word right now is "urine."

Did anyone see the giraffe skit from SNL last week? I am so behind on my DVR, just catching up but thought the death metal giraffe bit was hi-f'ing-larious! I don't know if Paige was as amused as me and didn't know where else to go with this...

Giants v Eagles is a little stressful! Go Big Blue!

Steve -
kudos for getting the jets/giants in one stadium reflecting your east coast bent. ...

your four question marks are all wrong but they each go where the other question marks go with the exception of the EAGLES who do actually play in a stadium. (the Linc -- Lincoln Financial). I give that a sheesh! and three ga--allls! (Aunt Linda, SNL)
