NFC Championship (New Orleans Saints @ Chicago Bears) aka "The Ditka Bowl": Since Mike Ditka has been the head coach for both of these teams, some have called this game, the Ditka Bowl. Da Coach preferes to state that he is the only person to be fired as head coach by both of these teams. Early in the week, da Coach did not want to state who he was rooting for in this game, drawing outrage from some locals, including calls of a boycott of Ditka's restaurant (If you go to Ditka's, I strongly recommend the oyster shooters as an app. and some room for the ice cream pie for dessert!! It's price-y, $9 if I recall, but large enough to feed a group of 4 and it is awesome!!). Eventually da Coach came out and stated that he was rooting for da Bears and picking the Bears. Well, it seems like very few outside of Chicago are picking the Bears. The Saints certaintly have plenty of weapons on offense, Brees, Duece and Reggie Bush. But the Saints are certaintly not without weakness, including injuries to Joe Horn, and others. While Bush has been dynamic and sensational recently, I think the Bears linbackers, especially Urlacher (this is his chance to shine on the big stage) will contain him. Personally, I am more concerned with Duece McAlister running up the middle, exploiting the absence of Tommie Harris. Snow is predicted on Sunday and hopefully it will be here in time to put the clamps on the Saints offense. Rex doesn't have to be Sexy Rexy but he can't be "Totally Gross, Man!" I think the Bears special team will need to step up and they will. Da Bears! Da Bears!! Bears 24- Saints 21!!!Friday, January 19, 2007

I think Mike North got Ditka to say that he was rooting for Da Bears.
UIC Badger
I believe it was on Mike North's show that he stated that he was not makin ga pick. Then, I beleive, on his weekly radio show on ESPN radio on Thursday, he stated that he was rooting for and picking the Bears.
Thus he avoided having his restaurant burned to the ground.
I think Mike North said "just root for the bears and I'll leave you alone." and Ditka said "OK"
They are an a-hole family, but Ditka needs to get over the McCaskey thing. For whatever it's worth, he said on his radio show that wanted to make the announcement, that he'll pull for the Bears, on his radio show.
Predictions: if "Bear weather" is ever be a factor, it should be so tmrw. Although he had a stint at Purdue, Brees is from Tehas and Bush and McCallister have never seen a snowflake. Bears by 7.
The monkey will stay on his back. Pats by 14.
