Sports Notes, 12/16/07: Change In Personnel Edition

-- Say it with me now, Cubs fans: "Aww, Fuk!"

-- Or -- hopefully -- "Fukin'-A!"

-- Seriously, though, I thought the Fuk-U-Dome was Mayor Daley's, shall we say, creative interpretation of Soldier Field.

-- Brace yourselves, BEARS fan, because this is not a pretty thought. If the Patriots are 18-0 going into the Super Bowl, and a win would mean no one could ever again argue that the 1985 BEARS are the greatest team of all time, and in the Super Bowl they should meet a certain team from Green Bay, who do you root for?

-- Yeah, I take the Packers too. But it sure isn’t easy.

-- Why is Mark Prior hastened out of town when his power-pitching pal Kerry Wood, who arguably had the more disappointing career, is still a fan favorite 10 years after his one good season? I don't know, but I sure as hell agree.

-- Confidential to Rex G. and Brian G.: Gentlemen, don't worry about a younger up-and-comer temporarily filling your job position. I'm sure it means nothing. On a totally unrelated note, though, if you were thinking about selling your home I am a licensed Realtor.
