Last week, we had dinner with friends who have a two year old (two and a half, if you ask him). He was wearing a Polamalu jersey. I said, “Go Bears!” to him and he said (are you ready for this?), “No, Aunt Gini. The Bears are at home. It’s Polamalu’s turn.”

I can’t even turn a kid, who LIVES in Chicago, into a Bears fan. Hrumph.

And yet, I’ll be sitting at Soldier Field on Sunday, cheering them to victory. They play the Rams so surely we’ll win this one. But what I really need is for the Packers, Lions, and Vikings all to lose this week.

Can someone make sure that happens for me? Or can someone find an offensive line for Cutler?

No? OK. Fine. Take your Gin and Topics then. (more…)
