I bet you're glad you joined the good side after last night's game. Talk about waiting for the last second to do something. But hey...they did it! But seriously, thank you for supporting them.
January 12Jan 12 One of the most amazing comebacks in history. Go Bears! Here's some good news. Chase Sexton moved to Kawasaki this year so now my favorite NASCAR driver and pro dirt bike rider are both named Chase. Didn't do so well yesterday though in first race of the year.

That was a disappointing first half and an exciting and stressful second half. What a come back! I am sorry about your Steelers. I thought of you when I saw that. I have a hard time going for them due to their current QB . . . he may no longer be on that other team (sorry...I can't say the name. ) but he has always annoyed me. I do hate for you and the fans and sad to see Tomlin stepping out. 19 years say a lot. And the fact they made it to the playoffs, he should still be proud. A lot of teams didn't make it that far. Well the other Chase must be a great guy. I am sorry to hear that he didn't do too well. I am hoping this will be Chase ELLIOT's year.

January 14Jan 14 Author Sorry to interrupt the football talk . . . I am still excited to be moving forward into the playoffs. It's been a long time since the Bears have made it this far. They play the Rams Sunday in cold weather. The Rams aren't conditioned for warm weather and play in a dome. The Bears will have the advantage there. . . But to bring it back to NASCAR for a bit. . . NASCAR has updated the Chase format for all three series for 2026 and ahead. Of what I understand that winning in the regular season won't lock you in as it has been the past few years. It's going back to more to the old Chase system. There will still be 16 drivers (in the top series). The driver with the most points at the end of the ten Chase races wins the championship. Here is an article with more information on the new Chase format: NASCAR returns to Chase format for 2026 | NASCAR Of what I have been seeing, the drivers seem to have a positive feedback on it. I personally feel like it's a step in the right direction. 32 more days until the Daytona 500!!!!

I'm for almost anybody playing against the Bills, because my fav. team is the Dolphins and they're in the same division!

I never heard of that. Sounds kinda like fantasy sports, perhaps the paid leagues. LOL

Tho the weather is on their side and they've had a great year so all that is on their side. I am glad to have another fan supporting them. Tho I'm sorry about your Bills, Roger. Jeff Gordon's 49ers got sent home packing this weekend too. Maybe he'll be supporting my Bears now, too. HA. LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!

January 19Jan 19 LOL!! Yea we get it each year around here. I moved from Franklin when I got married and moved to Sparta ( home of Lester Flatt of Flatt/Scruggs fame.....Bluegrass music. They were on the Beverly Hill Billys a few times!) We used to have some when I was little in Franklin but as I got older it hardly ever snows there now.
January 19Jan 19 Overtime. One of the best passes ever to get the Bears there. Garrett must be going crazy!

Right at the last few seconds etc. I see more and more indications every year that NFL is fake....it's just like professional wrestling! Do you remember when the Titans first started and they were losing and the guy with the ball JUUUST barely made it over the end zone line in time to score and win! It's all scripted! What are the chances stuff like that and what we've just seen, actually happen in real life??? Edited January 21Jan 21 by Hobie Hartkins
