Things have been pretty crazy at the Sneaky Pete residence the past two weeks. I already had one Thanksgiving dinner (in SW Wisconsin) this weekend, and I've got one more tomorrow. My Little Middle Linebacker turns five Friday. My niece's birthday is coming up. As a contractor I don't get Friday off as a paid holiday, yet we can't go into work because none of the direct-hires will be in and Lord knows a contractor can't think for himself! Anyway, that means I've been trying to work 10-hour days to lose as little pay as possible. I had dart league last night. Blah, blah, blah...
What does all this mean? Not much, just that I didn't have time to blog this week.
Please accept the most sincerest of apologies to anyone who may have been looking forward to a bitter blog about the Bears from Sneaky Pete. Sorry, I just don't have it in me this week.
What's that? You say you want something, ANYTHING to get you through Thanksgiving? Okay here is a prediction for this Sunday's game against the Broncos:
The Bears will lose to the Broncos 31 to 20 at home. The Broncos running game will be too much for the Bears D. The Bears will redefine the term "offensive futility." Rex Grossman will be running for his life when the offense is forced to play in a five wide receiver set after Cedric Benson averages a season-low 1.2 yards per carry in his first ten carries and is chased off the field by fans wearing Payton jerseys, wielding pitchforks and torches.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! :)

I think the smiley face at the end of the blog clearly says to the reader that this whole thing is just a tongue-in-cheek blog meant to say "I'm too busy to research the Bears and blog about them, so I'll just wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving!"
I think the Bears do have a *slim* chance this Sunday, but I don't think the beleaguered Bears D can handle the Broncos running game. On the other hand, if Cutler makes some mistakes, the Bears could pull one out. After all, it's the Bears' turn to win this week... ;)

I havent been that impressed with Selvin Young, and they are playing a new guy too(I cant remember his name right now) but anyway, Happy Thanksgiving and have fun at the Birthday party with a bunch of screaming 5 year olds! It really is fun you know. I wish Tabby was still little, and only had to buy toys. Now her toys and Ipod video players and Blackberrys and laptops..;)

Selvin Young is your typical Denver RB. He's good in Denver's scheme, and that's all that counts if you're a Denver fan... ;)

Pete, take a look at my blog, and maybe you'll get a little ray of sunshine for the Bears...come on man...
You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch onto the affirmative...

come on Pete, you know the Bears will win sunday to keep this up and down roller coaster of slim hope alive! The sad thing for me is Im actually going to watch Green Bay and Detroit to day because and get this, Detroit has to lose to keep the Bears within range of catching them for a wild card. Wow, cant believe I just said that, I know there is a drug-like substance in Turkey that makes you fall asleep, but I think someone is putting something else in mine! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Pete.

Thanks, everyone. I'm really not as depressed as I came off in this blog. I was just trying to be funny. That'll learn me...
Now off to eat TWO turkey dinners!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
The only "upside" of having a bad record is a high Draft pick. We really need to do something about this line.
Anyway, Z_Aug, tryptophan is the amino acid you are referring to.
I'm off to eat, drink, and be merry!

Now it's my turn:
The Bears will finish the season 9-7 and possibly earn a playoff berth. They will lose their first playoff game and any hope of getting a really good draft pick that will help them fill the many glaring holes on offense and defense... ;)

Happy Thanksgiving Pete. Huh? that was last week? Crap I over-slept again. I can relate to the contractor thing and it does suck at holidays.

I only get cranky about being a contractor when I get shorted hours because some manager is treating us like a bunch of infants.
Then I get the "But you contractors get paid so much, you can afford to lose a few hours." Then I want to pull out a pay stub, shove it in his face, and ask the self-rightous SOB if *he* wants to pay my health insurance premiums...
Hoo boy. Deep breaths...

Ah. That's better.
Thanks for reading! ;)
