It may be late in the season, it may not matter in the playoff picture, but it’s supremely satisfying to see the Bears play like they care again. And how about that Brandon McGowan? Monster game from him today.

Oh, and a fantasy update. I missed 4 full weeks of football due to, first, a trip to India (more on this later), and then an unfortunately timed flight for a business trip, but the final result is that I was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. By two points. My final record was 10-5, third in the league, and second in points forced. Three of those five losses, by the way, were against the same team, the team which delivered the finishing blow to my season, and which went on to win the championship. The team with Tom Brady at quarterback. All in all, though, I had a great season, and will be doing this again next year. BEARS!
