Some random quick hits while waiting for the dog to relieve herself in the driveway instead of the yard. Thank you, snow cover.
-I would like to know how Bears fans are feeling after Jay Cutler found a way to win a game yesterday. A lot of grouching followed the announcement of Cutler starting ahead of Josh McCown. Generally, a starter doesn't lose his job for injury in the NFL. Some notable exceptions include Drew Bledsoe giving away to some guy named Brady, Trent Green falling behind some grocery store employee names Kurt Warner, and recently, Kansas City Chief quarterback Alex Smith losing his job to Colin Kaepernick. Each one ended in a Super Bowl berth.
-Nice week, Notre Dame basketball. Let lose at home to North Dakota State, then go to a neutral site and beat Indiana. Consistency is the hallmark of champions.
-Another consistency award to the New Orleans Saints, for playing a huge Sunday night game last week to end the Carolina Panthers winning streak. They came up small yesterday in St. Louis against the streaky Rams.
-A little baffled why the Cubs would give a second or third starter like Jeff Samardzija the kind of money they did. Oh, yeah! Theo Epstein knows all.
-The Kansas City Royals have quietly put together a very solid line up. They may be one or two starters away from being strong contenders in a weak AL Central. Not sure it will happen with the ownership.
-Same story in Cleveland where the rumor mill around Justin Masterson started to churn. Unlike the Cubs, this is a legitimate ace.
So...am I off base?
