Week Six Boneheads, SheaMaddie and The Cardinals!

Monday evening I was coming back from a vacation in NY. After 9 hours of driving I pulled into a hotel in North Carolina to catch the last 15 minutes of the game. Wow, I got to see the Bears rally and walk away with a 24-23 victory in Arizona. The Cardinals coach Dennis Green was seething. Judging by his comments, he clearly didn't believe the Bears lived up to the hype -- or deserved to win. "The Bears are who we thought they were!" he said, yelling at the top of his lungs and pounding on the podium at his postgame press conference. "Now, if you want to crown them, then crown (them)! But they are who they thought they were! And we let them off the hook!" Green then stormed away. Special note, there are hyperlink hotspots within the body of these Blog posts!
Lets here it for the "Week Six Boneheads", Neil Rackers and SheaMaddie! Rackers, a Pro Bowl kicker last season, missed a field goal in the last 53 seconds of Monday’s game, which would have given Arizona the win. And SheaMaddie's
pick record of 5 & 8, a true "FootballBone Hall of Shame” achiever!
Congratulations to
Cross for earning her #1 season spot back and dethroning TrustNo1.
Again, no cheerleaders, Chicago Bears! George Halas himself decided that he wanted his team to have cheerleaders, or "dancing girls" as he called them in his own words. Halas put General Manager Jim Finks in charge of making just that happen, sometime in 1976.The Honey Bears danced on the sidelines, as well as made appearances around the city, from 1977 to 1985. Halas made good on his word that the cheerleaders would always be a part of the team as long as he was alive. He passed in October of 1983. The following season the team attempted to end the relationship, but had a binding contract with the group through the end of the '85 season. Following their appearance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the group became a memory. Word has it that as long as the McCaskey family owns the team, that's where the Honey Bears will remain, a memory.Let's here it for political correctness, wahoo!
THE HERO
