So in this foot ball you speak of, is there real bears? because that sounds interesting

sweet, I wish real bears were involved in football. My team is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, oh wait that’s the Canadian Football League…I don’t follow the NFL.

Not so much … the score is still 13 to 9. The Lombardi trophy still belongs in Title Town.

Q: Why can’t a Chicago Bear get into his own driveway?
A: Someone painted an end zone on it

What would that be like, to have more wood than tools. Wow.

Lets all bookmark this and make a note to come back in January…..

Man, you got a lot of lumber. (makes sad face and puts head down).

Ndamukong Suh is going to finish the job he started on Cutler last year, and the refs won’t be able to rob Calvin of a game winning TD again.

Bears in third place in the NFCN and the Lions go on to challenge for a Wildcard.

If the Bears looked as good as your shop, they might actually still be playing in January.

Go Saints!

Da Bears! Love their style and history but just dont think Cutler has the “stuff” to get em to the prmise land.

My wife and her family are from Chicago, I on the other hand am a steelers fan, but love the Bears by association as well. Plus the Fridge was playing when I was growing up. I have this prediction: The bears demise for the 2012 season will rest on the shoulders of one player…. Jay Cutler. He will probobly develop some kind of magical injury he received while taking part in underwater basketweaving… or maybe a playoff game.

+1 what Chris said. You can have the trophy if you give me the wood.

You guys aren’t going to believe this, but there is twice as much wood stacked behind the workbench as there is on the left side of the shop.
(There was a huge dead-space behind my bench cabinets that I filled.)
AND, I have about four times as much under wraps at my older brother’s house up north.
90% of it is shipping crates and cut offs but I make do with a LOT of glue-ups.
And with my mediocre skill level, getting it all free fit the bill well.

And Gerry, that was cold man, cold…lol

Lifelong Texan (DFW) and Dallas Cowboy fan here…though I’m not optimistic this year. There are no good, veteran guys in the trenches and they have a very suspect secondary. They will lead the cowboys to a 7-9 season…that’s my prediction, sorry to say.

At least I have my Texas Rangers and my world champion Mavericks!

Charlie—Your Saints played a heck of a game last night!

Woodwrecker—You think that was cold? Just wait til Christmas Night.

For those of you who think the Super Bowl is that game they play in January or February … the REAL Super Bowl is when the Bears play the Packers at Lambeau Field. There’s a lot of history there … two of the oldest teams in pro football that have a total of 22 NFL championships between them.

-- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!"

Well last night provided one heck of an interesting game. I cant say that there was much defense being played but the Pack Attack is alive and well. That rookie was electric.

Any fantasy football gurus out there? Maybe next year we throw up a LJ FFL league.

Come on…We all know this years Super Bowl is going to go to the Seattle Seahawks! At least that’s what happens in my dreams…

-- Sam

Well I am a Miami fan so I haven’t had much to cheer about since Dan Marino went to the playoffs every year just to get put out in the first round but I still love him. I guess we are so bad right now that I will have to stoop so low to bring up the only undefeated team ever in the NFL. Many have several super bowls but only one can lay claim to the perfect season.

Blakep—One of the funniest things to see is in the Minneapolis Metrodome … the Vikings list their ‘Playoff Appearances’!

I’m sure somebody deep in the bowels of Lambeau Field keeps track of such things, but the only thing that really counts is the 13 championships the Packers have listed on the Ring of Honor in the stadium.

Sorry … just had to rub it in.

—Gerry

-- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!"

haha I give you permission to rub it in Gerry. I watch a lot more college football than NFL these days but that wasn’t a good weekend either as i’m a Mississippi State fan and we let Auburn beat us. Maybe I should just quit watching football all together haha

Sorry Eric but if you happened to watch the New Orleans vs Green Bay game, you got to see a preview of this years Super Bowl. Go Saints!

That’s the truth Greg.
It was like a replay of last year.
Cutler isn’t going to last very long under that kind of punishment.

-- Eric

Bad news Chief fans, the PAC 12 just declined Kansas City’s application to join the conf. Uhg, how did Haley make this team this bad.

-- StevieP ~ Micheal Tompkins - you were not here on earth long but left a giant mark on us. RIP Brother

Sorry dpwalker but I will place a bet that that super bowl matchup won’t happen since they are both in the NFC. I’m not a fan of either team and hate New England but if I had to predict the super bowl today I would saw Lions and Patriots.

Stevie … Haley decided to treat the preseason like a walk through and here we are acting like its still a walk through with pads. All the while the other team is full speed. I could not be any more distruaght over all the injuries to the Chiefs …

Eric, since Greg already chimed in about yesterday’s score, I won’t pile on. The refs might throw a flag for unnecessary roughness. :-)

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

^^
I hear that. The sad part is I can’t see a game on the schedule that’s winnable right now. Cassel looked shell shocked on the sidelines. Charles going down is a GIANT hit. And here is KC they have the audacity to run Chiefs commercials saying “were back” just to add insult to injury.

Good luck after that 2nd half performance against the Saints, I believe i slept through it all snoring and roaring like a bear in his den….lol Jay Cutler needs major help in staying on his feet and will never last the season without a O-LINE. sorry reality check…BC

The best part about being a born and bred Packer fan who migrated to Chicago is that for every person who stops by my office on a Friday to talk trash… No wait, most Monday’s are real quiet on that front.

I am a Vikings fan and a Seahawks fan, and I will not find much joy this year. My year is pretty much summed up with the news early on that Minnesota got rid of T. Jackson and then two days later that Seattle had picked him up.
Why would you sign a QB with 22 TD’s and 25 INT’s.
Both of my teams starting out 0 and 2. I can’t support the Bears, but I don’t think they will be going to the playoffs anyway. The NCFN will be won by the Packers and the Lions may get a wild card.
The Seahawks might win a couple of games against NFCW opponents but that’s as far as they will get. Minnesota
will finish around five hundred. Well there are my predictions, will find out in Jan. if they are any good.
I think the plan for the Hawks is to suck for Luck.

-- Mel

There is a Vikings fan in the office next to mine … so far today, I have asked him four times how the Vikings did yesterday. I know they lost … I just love to hear him say it!

I don’t make predictions … an old acquaintance of mine (who was the starting center for the champions of the first two Super Bowls) told me once that in the NFL, the margin between the very worst and the very best on any given Sunday was razor thin.

—Gerry

-- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!"

Cutler being rattled is fully understandable. He had no protection & was hurried, knocked down or sacked on too many plays for him not to be rattled & upset. It was his butt hitting the ground & I am sure that got old real fast for him. Although I do agree that a leader should stay calm during the storm. Maybe he just forgot that? On the other hand, the Saint’s defense played a lot better yesterday than in week 1 so I can’t put it all on the Bear’s offensive line ;)
