The rare Illinois Football-Bears Football double win weekend!

Of course, that depends on this defense actually being able to get one freaking stop.

Raiders going OOB on that first down play might really help the Bears here.

The Bears scored too quickly IMO.

I do wish to apologize for slightly inaccurate information, my cell phone signal was just good enough that I was able to stream one play of the Illinois Football game today. It was the "fumble" that wasn't reversed on the goal-line in the 2nd quarter. At least they won.

Cubs 12, Cardinals 1

The Greatest Football Rivalries in the Big Ten: Nebraska vs. Any ranked team Michigan State vs. 11 PM kickoff times Iowa vs. Offense Michigan vs. Class Illinois vs. Having any pre-season expectations whatsoever

Good news: It's Friday. Great news: I'm getting paid to handle PA announcing for some college softball games this weekend. Greatest news: Due to the great news, I won't be able to watch a single second of the Illinois Football game tomorrow.

A friend said to me last night: "What if the rapture did actually happen but every human being was so awful that nobody left?" I tell you what, that's the second most depressing thing I've thought about this week, behind only the realization that Illinois Football really did just lose by 53 points.

Congratulations to Cade Horton - He's apparently become the first athlete who actually would do better while choking.

The Cubs, as soon as they clinched that playoff spot:

I'm down in a fantasy football matchup by 3.62 points this week, my opponent has nobody playing tonight while I have Lamar Jackson and Amon-Ra St. Brown still to play in my lineup. This is an obvious hammer the under situation now, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

A former Bears kicker wins a game for the 49ers, that's never happened before.................................

Sorry, I forgot that the Cowboys Gonna Cowboys, just know that if the Bears had been playing a real team they would have blown that lead...

Of course they call a roughing the passer for going at the quarterback's ankles but Fields could never get a flag for getting hit in the helmet LOL...

I have absolutely no faith in this Bears defense so I'm thinking they'll need to score at least 10 more points to win this game.

19 plays??? 9:30 run off the clock??? And you score a touchdown???

If giving up 37 points against the Giants last week wasn't enough to convince the Cowboys to fire Eberflus, giving up 24 points in a half to this Bears team should be.

And there's the one good play Swift will give you every two weeks, now get ready for 33 plays of 1.8 yards per carry or catch until the next one.

The Bears just had the ugliest flea flicker I've ever seen... And it still worked. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Don't think they need to play the rest of the game in Chicago, this one is over LOL.

At least Loveland actually made it to the game this week LOL.

Three and out on the first drive. Things are going so, so well folks.

TYFYS Browns!

Taking my "Illinois lost by a million yesterday and now the Bears are playing today" armor out of mothballs isn't what I expected for this morning but at least I know how to make it through LOL...

That first quarter from Illinois outside of one play:

LOLOLOLOLOL NBC announces this 3 minutes before kickoff!

Purdue just got the fuzzy end of the lollipop that is trying to figure out the calls made by the Big Ten officiating crew with the whitecap who always looks like a deer in the headlights on TV...

Purdue vs. Notre Dame is in a weather delay. Which means the tradition unlike any other will almost certainly continue this evening... That's right... The Game Before The Illinois Game Will Run Long! (Please NBC, for the love of goodness, don't put the Illinois game on Peacock - Put it on USA!)

After watching Wisconsin's complete mismanagement of the clock at the end of the first half, I repeat my assertion that 90 percent of football coaches get to the stadium, discover there's a clock, and absolutely freak out.

A really good look for the Big Ten's officiating when a guy launches into the quarterback, who is defenseless, hits the QB helmet to helmet, the national TV referee expert says it is without a doubt targeting, and AFTER A REPLAY REVIEW the Big Ten replay official says "Nope, nothing to see here"...

Thanks for the memories! www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Iw...

This is either going to be the greatest thing ever created by human civilization or a debacle the likes of which we haven't seen in years, nay, decades.....

Now the Cubs have to win a playoff series against the Padres after clinching their post-season spot in Pittsburgh. That's never gone poorly for the Cubs before! .................................... .................................... ....................................

WOOHOO CUBS!

Today's Cubs game................

Finally - You can use your arm to hold a Five Guys cheeseburger instead of using it and a leg to pay for a Five Guys cheeseburger.

This is actually good news, in that the Cubs' training staff has somehow not killed Kyle Tucker yet.

PCA getting hot at the plate would at least give me a small hope that maybe the Cubs could actually make a run in the post-season.

I know I shouldn't say anything being a Bears fan, but the Vikings/Bengals game is now Carson Wentz vs. Jake Browning...

Here's my response to this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=13QJ...

The Arizona Cardinals were doing everything possible to hand that game to the Panthers, and Carolina was like.........

Haley Sawyer came through with the #1 vote for Florida back in 1950 LOL.

The Chicago Bears

That's just horrible coverage from Stevenson. If nothing else commit DPI to make the Lions choose whether they want to kick a field goal or sneak it into the end zone with 1 or 2 seconds left.

That pass has to be thrown 10 yards out of bounds. Instead Caleb Williams just cost the Bears a whole bunch of field position.

I'll give this for the Bears - At least the scripted drives are 2 for 2 in terms of scoring touchdowns.
