Post game chat with Cleft Crusty (Bears)

[Rastak]

Adrian Peterson has a chance to cause the Bears real problems...if Childress sticks with him in the second half.

Hey, it's Adrian Peterson vs Adrian Peterson....may the best Peterson win!

Both of them!

Yes, but you have to come to grips with the fact that Chicago is the better team, because of it's defense.

The fact that the Packers are 4-1 and the Bears are 2-3 would seem to contradict your "fact" that Chicago is the better team.

So the team with the best record is always the better team?

Yes, that's typically how it works.

I guess I have a problem with having "to come to grips with the fact that Chicago is the better team". They certainly were last year. This year, that is hardly a fact, and quite possibly the Packers have the better club.

Actually, I'm with ya Essox. The Bears are NOT dominant this year. But I never say the team with the best record is the best team....too many variables.

The Bears don't have to be dominant to be the better team. They just have to make more plays and win. They have more game changers on their roster than the Packers, which allowed them to 1) cause turnovers 2) capitalize on them in crucial situations (the Bear's rookie TE is far better than any TE GB can trot on the field) and 3) Step up with three starters out and completely shut down the Packers' offense for an entire half. Clearly they are better. It's not even close in fact. Packer fans want to celebrate all of Favre's empty yards in the first half but so what? What did it get them? Not enough points to win. Even worse for Packer fans is that they have to live with the fact that Griese completely outplayed Favre in the second half.

the more and more i read from this guy, the more and more a joke he becomes... why the hell does anyone sit and ask him questions after a game.. I'd rather listen to John Clayton or Mel Kiper

Rack him! Huge call!

With apologies to W.C. Fields, anybody who hates dogs, children and crusty old men can't be all bad.

Don't tell him this because he'll need a nitro patch and quite possibly minor surgery if you do...but Cleft IS a joke. A parody. Actually, I guess the same could be said for Clayton and Kiper. Fire up your sense of humor and join in...(and once his liver function returns to normal, he might answer)

[Harlan Huckleby]

Cleft IS a joke.

Way to pile-on, Ziggy.

Cleft is a slight embarassment to PAckerRats, but so what? We'll all be old and daffy like Cleft and Shadow someday. Show a little respect.

[Deputy Nutz]

You all leave Cleft alone, sure the humor isn't there after a loss to the Bear but so what, I call it insightful.
