It's Bear Week I

That's good to hear, pb! It ain't fun spending that many hours in FIB land.

No need! They finally finished most construction on the Dan Ryan and 294. And it'll be a least a year until they start something huge again. Though Indiana is already tearing up their portion of the Skyway.

My last two trips around the Cape of Good Chicago weren't bad at all, actually.

We go directly through every time we head back to WI. Usually it's not too bad, but we mostly avoid weekday rush hours.

How bad is the Skyway?

They are tearing it down to one lane in Indiana so its slow, but its also near Gary, so its not as busy as the Ryan.

More troubling was the report from a family member who traveled through earlier this year and saw signs of the Dan Ryan getting another makeover north of the previous work. Which is worse and more congested.

So my last two trips I took 294 and blew through like I was in Nebraska.

Chicago is surrounded by a concrete ring of hell that sucks money out of innocent motorists at the rate of thousands of dollars a minute 24 hours a day to feed the mob and corrupt politicians. It would be worth the radiation sickness to have the terrorists nuke Chicago first.

I thought they sold most of that to Spain and Australia.

I look for Ryan Grant to get the majority of carries in this one. He's had a lot of success against the Bears in his career and excels at moving the chains without making mistakes.

Starting tomorrow I'm going to have a horoscopes thread.

And the whinefest about the officiating begins to the South.....

Now we know where all the deep thinkers post after the game.

Sad that Bearman and DaBadestBear don't show up any more even for Bear's week. I am pretty sure they would have been here had the Bears somehow managed to win yesterday.

Forget that, how about some lottery numbers?!

So, if you wave for a fair catch but you're not the one catching the ball (but the defenders don't know that), the ball is dead, correct? It should be since the defenders are likely to stop pursuit at that point. That was quite the jacked up punt return by the Bears. Great idea but it seemed super cheap.

You are correct. However, in this case, Hester did not signal a fair catch. He only moved as though locating the ball in the air and preparing to catch it.
