The real national pastime

congrats to matt's sox. but enough about them. onward! so i found 2 chiefs bars in chicago. and yesterday brit and i gave one a shot for the redskins-chiefs game. we walked in and walked to the back tv area. from my seat i could plainly see chiefs, lions, bears, and cowboys game, with the miami game in the distance. of course we had to listen to the bears. i was kind of wondering how this place had a reputation as a chiefs bar, considering they were playing every game. well it took a good 5 minutes of game to figure out - when jared allen forced his first fumble, and the bar cheered, you could tell it was a majority of chiefs fans. there were also plenty of people rooting for the bears, a few for giants and cowboys and one lions fan (poor bastard). lions side note: it was 14 - 14 for a while, with all 4 touchdown passes thrown by delhomme. it was so bad for the lions offense that later i saw a lion streaking down the sideline assumed another pick. imagine my surprise when i saw that harrington was on the field! they managed to get 6 offensive points and knock out delhomme when he was sliding feet first. 15yds later weinke comes in to score a last second touchdown. nfc north side note: when trying to predict the division winner i thought this division was wide open because i thought the chi/det were improving and gb/min were holding ground. well the division is wide open, but only because everyone is terrible. seriously i just took a quick glance and came up with the teams better than anyone in nfc north - 18 teams easy. yet one of them will become one of the 12 playoff teams. it's funny that bears/lions are in first place, because even if you took the all-stars from those teams, that team wouldn't even make the playoffs in the afc. who's their quarterback? the chiefs won 28-21, but even after the game i had a hard time believing we won. pass defense was terrible, especially on the last drive. jared allen forces 3 fumbles, all 3 recovered by chiefs, one for td. definetly a game that chiefs win at home, lose on the road. home field is huge. it makes that incredible philly comeback even more spectacular. chiefs up huge at home, even get a dante kickoff td, and still blow it. harrington just doesn't look like an athlete. i mean i don't care if you are a pocket passer. i don't think that carson palmer is a great runner, but i look at him and think yea, he is a good athlete. i look harrington and see waterboy.
