[Phil DeNomme]

I would love nothing more than the Bears to whoop up on the pack with the
2nd stringers.  LOL

I have a feeling they will play about a half with Grossman possibly
playing less than that. I am sure the meathead contingent (aka The Jim
Belushi contingent), will flood the airwaves about how the Bears MUST
be the Packers at all costs. If there ever was a more worthless Bears
vs Packers game this is it.
