Thank you flex schedule. Because of the flex schedule I’ll be able to watch my beloved Bears finish off their season, and hopefully Brett Favre’s career. I say hopefully Brett Favre’s career not because I don’t like him. That’s precisely why I want him to finally retire. It’s time, but that’s fodder for another post. [...]

Packers vs. Bears Preview
Friday, December 29th, 2006Vigilante Sports – Year in Review
Tuesday, December 26th, 2006This year we’ve seen a lot of coverage of the Chicago Bears (very good), the Chicago Cubs (VERY BAD) and the Michigan Wolverines (good but VERY disappointing). We’ve seen growth in terms of number of posts, visitors and advertisers. Thank you all for a very fun, interesting and informative year.
Just when I get convinced that [...]
Bears vs. Lions Preview
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006The Lions are bad, really bad. With Kevin Jones now out for the year, they do not have a legit running attack, and John Kitna will be at the helm of the Lions passing game. They have some decent options at wideout, Roy Williams and Mike Furrey, but the lack of a running game will [...]
Buccaneers vs. Bears Recap
Monday, December 18th, 2006This is what I’ve been afraid of. The Bears defense has not only showed signs of faltering, Sunday, they nearly let the lowly Buccaneers back into a game where they were ahead 24-3 in the third quarter. This is not ok if the Bears hope to progress deep into the playoffs. Todays narrow overtime victory, [...]
The Whole Idea of the NFL Network Sucks
Thursday, December 14th, 2006UPDATE: Cowboys vs. Packers on the NFL Network
Tonight is the first night I’ve really cared about a game that was airing on the NFL Network. And even now, it’s that big of a deal, because the game is being simulcast on the local Seattle FOX affiliate. Money makes the world go ’round. I know. That [...]
Bears vs. Rams Recap
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006So let’s recap: Rex Grossman saved his job, Devin Hester might have wrapped up the Rookie of the Year award, the Bears defense showed that it’s not impenetrable. Next. No, let’s dig a little deeper here after the knocked off the Rams 42-27 on Monday Night Football.
Rex Grossman came out and showed that he is, [...]
Bears vs. Rams Preview
Friday, December 8th, 2006Can Rex Grossman turn it around? That’s the question that Bears fans have to ask. If he can, the Bears are looking at a first round bye and a road to the Super Bowl that will be paved with weak NFC teams. That would be a good thing. If Grossman doesn’t regain his early season [...]
Reasons why Michigan fans should be happy – from EDSBS
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006Friends (not really, I just read their blog) over at Every Day Should be Saturday have compiled a list of why Michigan fans should be happy they got screwed selected to play in the Rose Bowl. And by the way, they’re Gator fans; and yes Number 4… is too soon.

Vikings vs. Bears Recap
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006The Bears locked up the NFC North division with a win today at home against the Minnesota Vikings. However in the win Rex Grossman sucked it. Three more picks. Makes a guy long for Chad Hutchinson. Okay, not really, but at least for a competent quarterback. Am I sure that Brian Griese is that guy? [...]
Michigan vs. USC in the Rose Bowl
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006Let the controversy begin. Michigan gets snubbed by the BCS, they’ll play in the Rose Bowl against the USC Trojans. Florida will play Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. This is a rematch of the 2004 Rose Bowl in which USC was victorious. This game is a disappointment for each team. Both teams [...]
