Hey Guys Don't Forget About US

Reading the power rankings on CBS, ESPN, Fox etc I keep seeing that the Bengals are one play away from being 4 - 0.

Hello. So are the Bears. But I've not seen any reference to that.

Give credit where its due, the Bears could have, should have won the first game of the season despite Cutler having an horrendous debut.

Green, Green Grass of Home

So I read that Bears Tight End has made a few disparaging comments about the state of the Soldier Field pitch. I can't say I blame him as the surface as been awful for awhile now much to the disgust of both Bears and opposing players.
And it's not just Soldier Field that has problems - you seen the state of Heinz Field.

It amazes me that multi-million pound organisations can't get the playing surface right. (And I know its the Chicago Park District that's responsible for it's upkeep). In an age where English Premier League clubs have invested in under soil heating, improved drainage and play 25 - 30 games a season on them you would have thought American groundsmen could do the same.
