Cardinals are Unbearable and so are the Bears

Trying something other than poker, I decided to use the Sportsbook at Mansion Poker to bet on the Bears vs Cards game Monday night. I had been doing pretty well picking winners when not betting over at HBO's Beat the Host for fun game with a 60-26 record picking before Monday's unbelievable game. I figure the bears to have a hammerlock on this game as they are the number one defense in the NFL and up in the top 5 in offenses as well versus the lowly Cardinals who's defense is pretty awful and there offense still in the works with new QB Matt Linert. So my $12 goes into the bet with the spread where the Bears have to win by 11 points in order for me to win.

After the 1st missed long-ball opportunity by the Bears and then a 3-and-out, I sort of knew that when I started to put real money on the line, I was going to be screwed... and I was right. Bears haven't given up a single touchdown all year in the 1st quarter... Holy shit!! They gave up 2... to the Arizona Cards?!

Halftime score: 20-0 Cards and now I know my money is long gone. But WTF, to add insult to injury, the Bears come back from the 20 point deficit and win 24-23 after a 41 yard field goal miss by Cards kicker Neil Rackers!! Rex Grossman: 4 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles; Bears had no offensive touchdowns, and still pull it out. The only thing believable from this game is that the Cardinals still choke and suck but because you have the choke part in it, their loss isn't big enough to cover the Bear's spread so I wanna say thanks alot Cards. If you would have listened to commentator Tony Kornheiser and quit after getting the first "1st down" before the Bears, you guys wouldn't be so disappointed in blowing a 20-point lead and everybody that bet on the Bears would be happy with your failure.

Well, I thought this game was a gimme but cluckity-fuck, I must be a feakin' jinx to myself. Finally put something on the line and the Bears shoot me in the foot... Oh well, what can you do. That's football...
