For One Shining Moment
Dr. X posts this from that bar where the Sun-Times people go after work:
"In a must-win game...
"...with two minutes left...
"...and no timeouts...
"...against one of the League's toughest defenses...
"...with no help from the coaches...
"...Brian Griese and the Bears must find a way...
"...to go ninety seven yards...
"...and save the Bears' season.
"And they did. Video here.
"See if you can spot when the Bears changed quarterbacks. Points scored, Chicago Bears, by game, YTD:
"Week 1 - 3
"Week 2 - 20
"Week 3 - 10
"Week 4 - 27
"Week 5 - 27
"Week 6 - 31
"Week 7 - 19
"Thanks to their soft defense, the Bears are just 2-2 under Griese, but those two wins were over Green Bay and Philadelphia. This is the best quarterback the team has had since Jim McMahon...or maybe Greg Landry or Doug Flutie... This website walks you down the trail of tears."

I am a little surprised it took you until after 9:00pm, Monday, to make your "Brian Griese is the Savior" declaration.
Dr. X posts this from the Mike Ditka Home for Crippled Veterans:
"You know all that instant analysis people complain about? You won't get it here!
"Number of Bears QB changes since the start of the Bret Favre era in 1992: 47."
Hey Dr. X, speaking of Griese, I'm playing my buddy in our fantasy league this week, and he's starting David Garrard, even though Griese is still available as a free agent! How crazy is that?!
Dr. X posts this from Fantasy Football rehab camp:
"Griese is an average quarterback replacing the worst quarterback in the league. Garrard, I think, is above-average.
"My team is a bit challenged since I cut all the Republicans."
Dr X. posts this from the Brian Griese Fan Club:
"Crap! Garrard's MRI came back and he can't go on Sunday! And Schaub either can't play, or will play with zero practice!
"Let's see: Vince Young...nah, he sucks. Jake Delhomme...hurt. Cleo Lemon...is that a liqueur? Daunte Culpepper, on the road against Tennessee...no.
"Or, Brian Griese vs. the Detroit Lions (30th in the league in passing defense)?
"OK, you win. The Biting Minks will be facing a real quarterback this week. A man no one respected or cared about on Opening Day. A man who no one thought had so much as a single touchdown pass left in his ageing right arm. And a man who, on Sunday, drove his team 97 yards to a winning touchdown, with no timeouts and no help from the coaches, against one of the toughest defenses in the NFL.
"They'll be facing the the lightning bolts of this relentless gamer who has risen, Christ-like, to lead the Bears to the Promised Land in the twilight of His career. By God, I almost feel sorry for the bastards on the other side!
"Of course if Garrard heals up I'll cut him right away."
HAR!!!
Seriously, I picked up Griese in my "money league," and I'm probably going to play him instead of Carson Palmer this week.
Garrard? Garrars? Are you freakin' high???
