Monday Night Football, are you ready?
Better get your long johns on for this one!The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers game tonight will be a preview of the upcoming New Years Day hockey game at Wrigley Field. If you love cold winter football games this may be the coldest in regular season history. The three in the booth tonight for MNF might need to cuddle a little closer to stay warm. The oldest rivalry in football might have to add this one to a another big game in both of these teams’ rich history
The Packers might be ready for this more than the Bears because about a year ago as most of these Packers players played in one of the coldest playoff games in NFL history in the NFC Championship game. The edge may lean on them a little but the wind chill will definitely make it feel colder than perhaps that game. Yet, the Bears are playing for their playoff lives after the Minnesota Vikings failed to win the NFC North division yesterday.
I will be watching for Devon Hester to break this one open as this guy is due for a big game. Even with Daniel Manning, playing like a super hero lately, watch for Hester to take over in “Prime Time.” You know Deon Sanders is calling Hester about this game and he could be a difference maker in this one.
This game would be fun to go to, however I happily will be staying nice and warm under my blanket sipping on some hot chocolate with marshmallows, oh yeah.! Hold on a sec, I think Lance Briggs is knocking on my door and says he will kick my ass for saying that statement. Go, Bears and payback will be sweet as the Bears look for revenge after a 37 to 3 loss just over a month ago.
I’m a Packer fan, and I hate the Vikings. OMG!!!!! Does this mean I have to cheer on da Bears tonight? Will I have nightmares about Vince? Talk about an emotional crisis.
Wait, I could just focus on raising the rank of Green Bay for the draft. Will that be okay?
