To be followed by the other possible options:

Ditka
Bulls
Famous Ditkas in History
Ditka-tionary
Grab Bag

Actually, Ditka-tionary could be a really good one.

Well, we can do famous Manning moments too ... tongue planted firmly in cheek. With Archie, Eli, and Payton being eligible, you can have some fun with it.

Are there that many Ditka-created or -inspired words?

There's also the "create your own/best Super Bowl commercial ever" avatar...

I personally am doing Forgotten Moments in Black History Month, unless someone finds that risque?

I can't imagine how that could go badly.

Nor can I. Frankel will set a good example.

I don't care one way or the other about the Superbowl, but I'll cheer for the Colts just to be a contrarian.

It's a free country, and I have no problem with somebody who roots for the Colts. In such a case, the moderators could just reactivate the account at the end of February.

It's going to take a lot of time to de-activate all the Illinois-based accounts though :(

Well, if you insist!

(Really... I have no interest in this year's Superbowl save for the commercials, and I can't see them anyway, since I'll be working.)

Hey... can a possible offshoot be "best super bowl commercials?"

BTW .... is Barbarao's death a sign in any way related to this week ...... a martyred inspiration to horse inspired team names ...... or signs of things to come ......

I root for a non-blowout. I like both teams, and I would certainly like the "best of all time but never won the Super Bowl" moniker to be lifted from Harrison-Manning... but I can appreciate what the Bears have done too.

<shakes fist> Darn it Tricia, that's what I was going to do!!! :)

I suggested that a bit earlier, with the added option of creating our own super bowl commercials... though I'm not sure I have the programs anymore to insert a picture of

hawking QU questions... perhaps surrounded by angry bears. :)

Can't we all just bet that both teams have a good time?

Sure... but we shouldn't be promoting gambling to the young'uns :).

Bears No horses.

Also, I'm waiting to hear if Barbaro was eaten by bears to determine relevance to the Super Bowl.

Stained Diviner · Post by **Stained Diviner** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 6:20 pm

If this is Colts Country, should we have pictures of famous Hoosiers?

In honor of the renaming of this section as Colts Country, I've been highlighting great people from Indiana the past few days: Michael Jackson, Dan Quayle, Jeff Gordon, and now here's Brad Maynard for your viewing pleasure.
