So much for the football season.

What was Rex Grossman doing playing QB for the Bears last night, and wearing number 6?

With Urlacher done for the year, Tinoisamoa out for a month, Desmond Clark nursing a knee injury, and especially with the Cutler-to-the-other-team's-secondary combo as impressive as it was last night, I think we can pretty much do for the Bears what I personally started doing for the Cubs the moment I heard they'd traded Mark DeRosa for essentially nothing: recognize that once one awakens, misplaced dreams of glory dissolve like all the others.

That, and look forward to the hockey season. Go Hawks!

At this point, he Bears will be lucky to go 9-7, even with the easy schedule they have.
