God has found a new home on Lake Michigan

10 years ago, there was a similar feel in Green Bay to the one now presiding in Chicago. Things just clicked. Even when a game was obviously going badly, things just happened and the Packers came out on top. It was an incredible feeling that nothing could go wrong. God was clearly on your side.

Last night's MNF game was just astounding. The Bears were pathetic on offense, commited six turnovers and failed to score an offensive touchdown. With a 20 point lead three-fourths through the game, Matt Lienart looked steady and competent with a Cardinal's offense that certainly played well enough to win (23 points against the Bears Defense is no small task). The Cardinals even moved the ball smoothly in the two-minute drill and set up their kicker for a game winning shot that he rarely missed.

He missed - the Bears won.

Apparently, God is now a Bear fan. Who woulda thunk it?

It would be far more comforting to believe that the Lord doesn't give a rip about football than to believe he wears blue and orange.

Of course rather than think the big guy is a Bear fan, why don't we look at the recent past.

They could go 13-3 with no offense, win the NFC north, get a bye in the playoffs, just to horribly lose to a wildcard. If that is the case again I would say that the big guy is anything but a fan. More like one with a cruel sence of humor.

You would think with all the old people in Arizona God would be a Cardnial fan, I mean half the population there will be his roommates in the next couple of years. Then again he may just be screwing with the Bears.
