Jauronimo!!! Bills Fire Dick Jauron

Cardinals Rude Guests, Embarrass Bears at Home

Embarrassing.  What else can sum this game up?   Either the Bears were a gracious host or the Cardinals were a rude guest as they pounded the Bears 41-21 at Soldier Field to hand the Beloved their first home loss of the season.  Let me try another way to express what happened at...

Again, sometimes you just have to be content with a .500 week if you’re a betting grinder.  I ended up 2-2 last week bringing my season total to 18-14.  However, watching alot of those games come in last week always makes you second-guess yourself for not taking certain games...
