Freeeeeeeezin'

SHE SAID:
so this is my 4th winter in Chicago and I am beginning to think I was insane for moving here from cali! something about -30 wind chill is ridiculous... the countdown for springtime begins... only 3 more months :) they say you can't complain about both seasons in chicago, so i am looking forward to the hot humid summer in july! BRING IT ON!

Get your Wi-Fi on in Chicago

SHE SAID:
Gone are the days of “borrowing” your neighbor’s wireless connection. A new website has made it easy to find free Wi-Fi in Chicago.

For a complete list of Chicago stores and restaurants offering free Wi-Fi internet access, check out the Wi-Fi-FreeSpot Directory. It is constantly updated and are very thorough. We use it religiously to find internet hot spots around town. Check it out.

Living in a Wi-Fi society

He Said, She Said...HE SAID:

We live in a democratic society, so I say free Wi-Fi internet access for everyone. If Microsoft is willing to pay for free Wi-Fi in Portland, Oregon then why not Chicago? Even Google is getting into the act and paying for Wi-Fi in San Francisco. Read about Microsoft’s heroics here and Google’s efforts here.

Screw the spread

SHE SAID:
Screw the odds. I don't care if the Colts are favored by 7, we all know the Bears will win Super Bowl XLI.

I'm worried Rex Grossman won't be able to hold his own against the Indy defense. He came through in the last quarter of the NFC Championship against the Saints, but the sunshine in Miami might throw his game off. But what really pisses me off is that I'm going to be in Miami... the day AFTER the Super Bowl.

I grew up in Kentucky and my true passion is the Louisville Cardinals. But Louisville doesn't have an NFL team and I've loved the Chicago Bears since I was a little girl. My BOYFRIEND gives me crap and says I'm a bandwagon fan, but I owned my Dick Butkus jersey before I even moved to Chicago. Honestly, I think he's just bitter because the St. Louis RAMS didn't even make the playoffs.

BEAR down!

BEAR Down for Super Bowl XLI

HE SAID:
The Chicago Bears were victorious over the New Orleans Saints in today's NFC Championship Game. Final score: Good Guys 39, Saints 14.

And so the march to the Super Bowl begins. Their opponent in the Super Bowl will be the Indianapolis Colts. Frankly, I'm relieved the Bears will be facing the Colts instead of the New England Patriots.

Had the Patriots won, everyone would be talking about their previous Super Bowl match up in 1985 when the Chicago Bears defeated the Pats 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. I could care less. Get over it New England. You lost in '85 and you lost last night.

So I'm a little bitter about the Patriots. Is it that obvious? To put it simply, there isn't a team I despise more than the New England Patriots. I'm originally from St. Louis and I still haven't gotten over the St. Louis RAMS loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI. The Rams lost that game on a New England field goal as time expired.

I was so devastated I called in sick to work for a week. Five years later and it still stings.

Time to BEAR down Chicago. The only team left standing is the Colts.

HE SAID SHE SAID Super Bowl XXLI prediction:
Chicago Bears 24, Indianapolis Colts 21

Who do YOU think will win?

Chicago Bears moment of truth

HE SAID:
With less than 24 hours to go before kickoff, there are a number of questions on the minds of Chicago Bears fans.

1) Do the Bears have enough left in the tank to beat the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game?

2) Which Rex Grossman will show up for the game? The Rex from the first 4 weeks of the season, or Scary Rex from the last half of the season?

3) How much will it snow?

Here's the official HE SAID, SHE SAID prediction: Bears 24, Saints 17

Who do YOU think is going to win?
