As for the Dallas Cowboys, they already get too much ink, and just by mentioning them in passing, I feel deeply ashamed of myself for giving the slightest acknowledgment that I gave them just now.

As for my favorite team, the Chicago Bears, I’m impressed with the development of Kyle Orton at quarterback. I realize any talk of a Bears QB doing well will soon turn to how bad he is, but for the time being the former Purdue Boilermaker is well on his way to being the most successful Chicago signal caller since Jim McMahon.

Now, as for the defense, I’ll just say I’m hoping for improvement and leave it at that, for now.
