Football Returns To Wrigley

.

Let's play two!

.

I hear Steve Bartman was signed as a defensive back by Northwestern?

Scouting report says:

"excellent defensive skills, really knows how to get between the ball and the receiver. When he's around, nothing gets caught!"

.



.

Sounds like they have end zone issues at wrigley this weekend, have to keep switching the field as they can only play one direction for safety concerns.

.

The Bears should play there. Most games they'd never get close to that wall! They think the Red Zone is contagious!

Losers walk! That is old school!!!

Wow! That's a great old memory!!!

Is there a way to blame this on Jim Hendry?

Lou's responsed, "Well, what you gonna do?"

So as weird as it is that they had to play one way I have to ask...who was in charge of setting up this field and how did no one notice the brick wall was too close until the DAY BEFORE the game?

I believe Northwestern gets to take the blame for that one. It was their home game. That's an embarassment to the Big Ten and the NCAA. This sort of thing wouldn't happen at the high school level; it shouldn't be happening in the Big Ten.

Lots of strange stuff happens in Chicago papi. Things often are not as they appear! Those poor folks at Northwestern up in Evanston did not have a chance. It probably went something like this between a Northwestern University staff member and a City of Chicago inspector...

NW:"Gee Inspector, I'm quite certain that the endzone is too close to the brick wall...ivy or not."

CC:"Au contrare brainy one. Dis layout fits da' bill exactly. I checked and all da' money is in da' proper pocket...ahem, da' proper place."

NW:"Still, it doesn't seem right. Something is wrong."

CC:"Don'tcha worry, don'tcha fret. We got it covered."

NW:"It really does appear that this endzone is too close. I'm concerned about safety. I'm concerned about what this will look like if we're wrong. Imagine the brouhaha that will ensue."

CC:"Relax dere perfesser. Don't get yer tweed jacket in a bunch. Ya' tell yer Mr. Brew-who-who not ta' waste his time. Tryin' ta' sue us would be few-tile. Read da' papers once in a while would ya'? Ya' don't want me ta' hafta' call in da' Queena Hearts ta' 'splain it all to ya', do ya'?"

NW:"No, no. The Queen of Hearts...no, sir. And yes, yes. This jacket is a bit tight, thank you sir."

CC:"Dats right. Now be a good boy and help dose guys with dose kegs. Dis place is gonna' be packed!"

.

They should have sent in these guys...they did such a good job on the tunnel and they easily fit the hockey rink in there....

Yup. They snugged it right up tight against the ivy. Good job!
