South sider -

No offense - just following the "snark encouraged" guidelines. I was there last season for a game. It is better than it used to be, but we still got to the red line asap once the game was over.

Are they kidding with the Indy 500 tickets? They hand those out at tire stores now days. The Brickyard race is the hot ticket. Even if it means putting up with a drunken Hoosier NASCAR fan barfing into your cooler in 105Ã‚Â° heat.

If the Bears lose, Mayor Daley must offer 10 members of the Indianapolis Mayor's family and friends Chicago trucking contracts or they can choose instead to go on as Chicago ghost payrollers.

Bears by 10 - Rather than getting it in writing, I would have the booty held by a second party.

Tainted weenies corrupted by the machine processing. No matter who wins, Chicago will always have them.

Bears by 10 — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 19:55:18 -0000

I have no idea what the bet should be but if I was Gov. Daniels I would get it in writing.

===Colts win, they get Ditka.

Bears win, we get Bobby Knight. ====

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Colts win, they get Ditka.

Bears win, we get Bobby Knight.

Oh, I know Knight ain't there anymore, but it's Indiana, what else am I going to say? A memorial hood from D. C. Stephenson?

Bears win: Colts are forced to take back Indiana native son Rick Mirer.

Colts win: Bears forced to put him back on the roster.

If the Bears win, Indiana's Governor's mansion becomes Blagos summer home.

If the Colts win, Indiana's Governor gets to keep Illinois' Governor's mansion.

It doesn't show poorly on the entire city. It shows poorly on one idiot. Move along, please.

The reason that Pat Quinn bet Cubs tix was so that the Indy Lt. Gov had much less of a chance of being mugged at Wrigley. Personal experience with horrible fans during the Detroit series at US Cellular last year. Anytime a 63 year old man is threatened because he's wearing another team's hat--lets just say that it shows poorly on the entire city.

If Chicago wins, all of Blago's family gets patronage jobs in Indiana and vice versa.

If the Bears win, Blogo stays in Chicago and only teleconfrences. If the Bears lose, Blogo stays in Chicago and only teleconferences. If it ends in a blowout or is really close, Blogo stays in Chicago! If the game is called....Blogo stays in Chicago. Bears by 16!!

Personally, I'd much rather spend a day in Wrigleyville than down at Sox Park.

This is the year for what, Paul? Worst record ever?

Apparently, I not only have to teach this guy about Illinois politics, but I also have to show them the light about baseball.

Nick Naylor: You haven't been around the Cell lately, have you?

Bridgeport is gentrifying. The projects across the Dan Ryan don't even exist anymore. $300,000 condos are rising in their place. IIT is building dormitories. Bronzeville is a hot address. A Metra stop is being built at 35th Street.

The area's come along way since the old Comiskey.

I'd go for making sure our veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan get some tickets to some sporting events when they get home. And I can go for donating some money to charity too.

Why would any soldier want to go to 35th and the Dan Ryan? I thought the idea was to get them OUT OF A COMBAT ZONE!

Send them to Wrigley, and remind them of the way of life they are fighting to preserve!

1060 W. Addison = Hot girls, fun bars, and yes ...even a little baseball

Colts win: Bears must give back "The Pride of Indiana", Rex Grossman (a native of Indy) and Kyle Orton (Purdue graduate). This ensures that Bears go 14-0 next season and win Super Bowl XLII.

Colts lose: Indiana is forced to take back Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton, thereby ensuring that Colts go 0-14 next season.

Bears win: Indiana must accept everyone Patrick Fitzgerald indicts this year for extraordinary rendition in Kokomo.

We could trade our lottery for their tollroads.

No, sorry. Can't do that. They sold their tollroads, and we are selling our lottery.

Bears win, Blago gets two years off his sentence at the Federal Pen in Terre Haute.

Colts win, Blago gets two additional years added to his sentence and enough smokes to bribe the prison barber.
