[USML Announce] Congratulations to Nukes

[Blocker, Mark B.]

The Pack is 13-1, and lost for the first time in a year.  So I guess we can bank on seeing annual messages from Jeff about the Packers single loss.  I am still not sure I see why this is a good subject for Jeff, given what an off year this has turned out to be for the Bears.  Of course, the obvious excuse is that they had a couple of injuries, but last year the Packers had 15 guys on injured reserve, lost their starting RB in the first quarter of the first game, lost their TE, MLB, almost every O-lineman, and then both of their CBs (including Woodson!) in the final game.  But they still won the Super Bowl and then went on to win the first 13 games the following year.  Maybe I have low standards, but I would take that finish/start every year.

Jeff, my suggestion is that you go to Best Buy, pick up a widescreen TV and a comfy couch big enough for 54 people, so you and the rest of the Bears will have enough places to sit and watch the Pack during the playoffs.  Don't let Hanie pass the beer, it will only be intercepted.

MLB just announced that the Texas Rangers have won the rights to 
negotiate with Yu Darvish.  The good news is that Kerber now has a $5 
starting pitcher who won't cost him a dime at the draft table.  The bad 
news is that I'll bet Yu hasn't ever experienced the joy of pitching 
under the burning Texas sun.  Let's see how he handles the heat.

By the way, did anyone catch the score of the Kansas City/Green Bay 
game?  Must have been a blowout.  After Caleb Hanie and the hapless 
Bears almost beat them, I can only imagine how ugly this one must have 
gotten.  How many sacks for Clay Matthews?  I'll bet he had at least 3 
or 4.  I've been told that he's one of, if not the greatest defensive 
players in the NFL (and on the short list of greatest defensive players 
ever).

Jeff
