Can you believe the Bears scored 23 points? 23 points! Woohoo!
I come home and turn on the Tv to see Channel 7's Cheryl Burton talk about how disappointing it is for the Bears to lose on this occaision. "But," she says "you were here, you'll have the memories." Considering that I'm watching the post-game five minutes after the game ends, I probably wasn't there, Cheryl. Probably.
And after about 8 minutes of Bears "team coverage" on the ABC 7 "news" they say, "Well, let's take a break from the Bears and move on to other news. When we come back we'll tell you how you can get Cubs playoff tickets." Um... did we run out of real news today? Was the post-war in Iraq suspended due to circumstances in the sporting world? The mideast crisis? Political and economic turmoil all over the world? Local crime? Come on, you don't have a fatal shooting or fire or something to put in the first half of your newscast?
