Chicago Gets Googled
Last week, that majority of football fans were unable to see what was perhaps the best NFC game of the year -- Chicagoist included. In the Thursday Night Football -- which airs on the NFL Network -- match-up of two one-loss teams, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Green Bay Packers 37-27.
With the Bears playing in this week's Thursday Night prime time game however, the NFL Network's broadcasts will be carried locally. For those of us without NFL Network, the game will air on WPWR Channel 50. Local coverage begins at 6:30pm and kickoff is at 7:15pm.
As tough as it is for the Bears to prepare for this game with the short week, it's nothing compared to the adversity faced by the Washington Redskins, who are still reeling from last week's the murder of safety Sean Taylor. The 'Skins organization all flew to Miami for Monday's funeral and now have to take the field just three days later. The lack of preparation and heightened emotions could lead to an interesting game.
With the Bears playing tonight, it's almost like we all gain an extra day to our weekend. Without having to schedule around a Sunday afternoon game, how do you plan to spend your reclaimed weekend? Christmas shopping? Hitting a museum? Watching other NFL games? We haven't figured that out yet ourselves...

The emotion angle that the Redskins are reeling due to an emotional loss isn't working that well. Here are folks, talented indeed, who are scoring millions in compensation and living in excess to their wildest dreams.
Guess what, folks all over are dealing with hardship, people dying, etc. and having to go to work and get on with their normal lives of scraping by to make a living after they've experienced tough losses as well.
Yeah, a teammate died and that sucks. It particularly sucks for that teammate's family. But what about the fans who have lost family members, or their jobs or got mugged and no longer feel safe.
Possibly these "emotionally challenged" football players can pitch in and have a group therapy session in their Bentleys or hire a team of therapists to soothe them full time and carry their jockstraps and they'll just pay for it with their "money to burn."
It's tough that the guy died, but things are tough all over and particularly tough if you don't have a mansion and a safe filled with cash that prevents you from reentering the grind of life. Boo hoo, they lost a team member and only have a week to deal with it and have to play football. Boo hoo, I lost a friend who dedicated her life to working with kids at a hospital. Write a story about that.
