Shaky

After watching Sunday's match between da Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots, I have to conclude: This Bears team does not have it. I, and Bears fans much more fervent than I, hoped this would be a championship season, and there have indeed been spectacular moments. But great athletes -- Tiger Woods, say, or Brett Favre -- come through in the clutch, and in the clutch on Sunday, the Bears faltered. With just over a minute remaining, the Bears needed to score a touchdown to win. Instead, quarterback Rex Grossman threw long for an interception. And that was it.

Still, I continue to enjoy my Bears-watching this fall. The Bears may not quite be champions, but they don't suck.
