Although your first reaction to the Bears? long-term loss of #1 QB Rex Grossman to an ankle injury last Friday in St. Louis may have been ?no shot now for this team,? this mini-misfortune actually sets up Chicago to be an attractive underdog. Lovie Smith and staff are forced to feed Bears? back-up QBs the full playbook (against a defense that gives up yardage), against a defense that we all know allows yardage, to get somebody, anybody, ready for the start of the season. The list of usual suspects includes Chad Hutchinson, Kurt Kittner, and our boy Kyle Orton, who made us look smart in the Hall of Fame game by leading Chicago to a pair of fourth-quarter scores. Orton could very well be a better QB than anyone on the field except for Peyton Manning. Speaking of Manning, Lovie and crew can give the Bears? defense a nice test and a shot of confidence while the NFL MVP is in there during this game. In the regular season of 2004, Manning riddled the banged-up Bears? defense on Chicago?s own home field, aided by 200 rushing yards by Edgerrin James. Rest assured, 200 rushing yards by James will not be in the Colts? game plan here. Therefore, the Bears? defense has a challenge to live up to, on a playing field leveled in their direction from the 41-10 thrashing in Chicago. That 2004 debacle also featured four Bears? turnovers made by Craig Krenzel, a QB no longer on the Chicago roster. Sure, Peyton Manning will play more than he did last week. But anytime Slim Jim Sorgi also figures to see lots of action at quarterback and is favored, you just gotta be thinking about the other side

I think that relates more to the 2nd last game of the pre-season (which will be Indi's 4th game), pt1gard.

I had thought that the Bears would be looking to get Hutchinson as much experience as possible and thought that they would be a great play at this number earlier in the week, but both teams starters are getting 20-25 plays. I don't think avoiding 0-3 is any concern at all for the Colts.
According to today's Chicago Sun-Times...7 or 8 of Indy's defensive starters will not play. The Colts have given up 260 yds rushing in their first 2 games. Peyton Manning will play 20-25 snaps.
The Bears will give a heavy dose of playing time to Kyle Orton beginning in the second quarter and carrying well into the second half.
1 unit over 38 1/2

I wanted to share this sad news in hopes of letting everyone realize what is important in life--Friends and our health ... a young co-coach on our staff, James, quit coaching last summer after we had won our first state title and began to drift into his own private world. I tried calling dozens of people to track him down through the year, but all efforts were futile. He had vanished and no one knew where.
I never saw him at one of our games and soon lost complete touch with him. He'd been a huge part of our success for two years and had played at our HS and was only a few quarters from getting his degree and going into lifelong goal: becoming a minister (James loved kids and kids loved him, he always had a huge smile for everyone.) He was also an army veteran. James had just turned 30 and seemingly had his life in front of him. I had spent more time with him than anyone else in my life over the last two years prior to his disappearance.
Yesterday I got a call from a mutual friend of mine telling me James had tried to commit suicide by slitting his wrists then later after failing that, he tried to walk off a cliff. Luckily, he was caught and taken to a psychiatric ward, where he has been diagnosed as schizophrenic and will be confined for a couple months.
I will be going to visit him tomorrow with a heavy heart.
I always wonder in my life what we can do to help people who are seized with depression. Especially those that disguise it so well. I have seen it before, believe it or not I grew up with John Hinckley in Dallas and knew him quite well, playing baseball with him and and even swimming in his pool. I moved away from Dallas only to watch in horror 10 years later when he shot Reagan.
I share this story as a reminder of how lucky we are to be healthy in mind and body and how we should always be kind to one another, even if it takes an extra effort.
Ironically, Soul Train is in this thread and I harken back to our little scuffle we had last year and I feel ashamed for any part I ever had in that. ST you have made overtures in a couple of my recent threads and wished me luck, I really appreciated that gesture. God bless you and yours and all my best to my friends on MJs.
The world is truly a wonderful place and it is exactly what we make of it. I deplore war and violence and wish peace to all. Remember to hug your kids or just tell your parents or best friends how much they mean to you. You never know who is in desperate need of a kind word.
all my best to you

Gregg that is a rough story. I will be praying for you and your friend.
On the subject of the vcr/dvd recorder, is there any way to run an 8mm camera through the VCR to the DVD to record? It sounds like a cool deal for the kids, but we film all of our games on Hi-8 or 8 mm.

Meds can only do so much, and sometimes it makes them worse until they find the correct combination for that individual. I think a combination of meds, therapy, and changes in diet are the only things working at this point. Sad story and I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
