Sports Update

Hola quesolitos, the highest of Cheeses here to talk a little sports with you. It's been a while since I was on my game and so here we go...

Does everyone remember when I thought that the Bears were going to finish the season in last. Boy Howdy! I was wrong. Instead, they have become the true monsters of the midway again and their defense hasn't looked this good since--dare I say it--1985. And what with a stable of running backs making folks pay, and Kyle Orton throwing for literally tens of yards per game, how can we not be superbowl bound? Seriously, the offense is rough, but in the NFL defense really does win games. I can't say superbowl yet, but I am saying playoffs.

Speaking of good defense and no offense, I fear for the Crimson Tide and their date with their polar opposite in the Cotton Bowl. Texas Tech is all offense and no defense. Now when Texas Tech played Texas--a team with a great defense--they looked like a pop warner team. I think that Alabama can definitely stop them, but our offense has been a little less that ultra-productive of late. I am not so afraid of their blitz, because I don't think their players are as talented as LSU's and Auburn's--our lineman can handle their rush. I think Bama wins a 21-7 game.

Well, my Cubs have made me a happy man by signing Juan Pierre--one of my favorite players. He is a true lead off man, and he replaces Jose "the Manimal" Macias in CF, which is definately an upgrade. Now we just have to find a left fielder and a short stop. We still have Neifi Perez as a starter--this can not be! What do you think? As for LF, could Manny be a Cub? Hmmmm...

Alright, well, enough for now, but soon we will highlight Crimson Tide Basketball.

My fantasy squad in my keeper NBA league is fourth out of twelve. We need a big man to bring home the title. I am working on that.

God save the Cheese.
