It’s an amazing feeling when a city comes alive…in front of a national audience no less. It feels good. I am so reinvigorated as a citizen that I am ready to help solve our civic problems like education, budget and crime. That’s what a Bears win will do to you. Here are some random observations from Bears v. Pack: For a moment last night, I thought I was watching Rocky III. In the second quarter, I started to see flashes of Rocky Balboa taking a beating from Clubber Lane. I would shake my head and be shoved back into reality, watching Jay Cutler get punched in the ribs over and over. But I could almost see Rocky’s two coaches saying Coach 1: “He’s getting killed out there! Coach 2:‚  “NO, he’s gettin mad!” And all of Chicago heard Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears say “Is that all you got? You ain’t so bad. Hit me again. You ain’t so bad.” The Packers will be lucky to be 9-7 this year. The mental mistakes of this very undisciplined team reeked of a mediocre squad with a great quarterback. This might be in the water in Green Bay, but it seems when the Packers franchise (not just this 2010 squad) get punched in the mouth, they get dirty. And then it hurts them. Clay Matthews - wild animal or frontman for Offspring? I just talked to a few of the guys in the news room about the game.‚  I asked if they watched it and they both said, “Nah, I don’t have cable.” When I told them that the game was on WCIU, I saw a serious sadness and regret pass through their eyes. So for everyone who is from out of town: If the Bears game is on MNF, they will show it locally too. It’s Chicago’s gift to you. Julius Peppers is two games away from owning his own Honda dealership. Brian Urlacher is going to net more national body odor commercials (will Hanes be too far off?) and Lance Briggs will be hosting reality shows on HGTV in no time. This defense is about to hit the prime-time. Can Urlacher start at center for the Bulls if we trade Noah? What a play at the end of the half. Urlacher played safety on the Hail Mary and batted the ball back to Briggs for the half-ending interception. But it was the fact that Urlacher out-lept the 6’6” wide receivers by, um, I don’t know, three feet? It was unreal athleticism for a guy that every sports columnist in town threw under the bus last year. Speaking of our fearless sports columnists: Morrisey and Haugh both predicted the Bears would lose big.‚  Morrisey really doesn’t like the Bears or Lovie. Remember that when he changes his tune to sell newspapers. Memo to coaches: Benching stars can backfire. See Nathan Vasher. The Bears deactivated start defensive tackle Tommie Harris yesterday.‚  If he’s not good enough to make the game-day roster (no injury, just bad play), then what does that mean for the future of this defense? If Tommie Harris was in the game and he was a monster that he is supposed to be? T-Shirt Deli trip! I’m going to make this shirt: “Wouldn’t You Like to Be a Peppers Too?” And I am going to put it on a really tight indie-rock hipster yellow shirt. When Hester returns punts to the house, Chicago is just ecstatic. Other teams love when their team scores on a punt return, but when Hester does it, it is electric. Chicago sports fans will always have a soft-spot in their heart for Hester. Because when he does what he did last night, it’s a feeling that is reminiscent of watching MJ drill jumpers, Sosa hit homers, Urlacher drill quarterbacks and Payton jumping over piles. Welcome to the club, Mr. Hester.
