Congratulations to the Chicago Bears for leading the NFC with 6 Pro Bowl selections and several more alternates that may get their shot at a trip to Hawaii as well.
This teams deserves it, and more. I wouldn't have been surprised to see two or three more guys punch their ticket to Hawaii from the defensive unit, and Thomas Jones certainly looked like a Pro Bowler for the first ten weeks of the season.
Anyway, I am very happy to see Olin, Nate, Mike, Brian, Lance, and Tommie get their due. This defense is probably the unit most singly responsible for the success of its team in the entire NFL. They play fast and hit hard, and it's been a pleasure to watch them work. Have fun in Hawaii fellas.
Note about the Cubs trade: Rumor has it that the Cubs are looking at a possible multi-team trade with Baltimore and some other unnamed teams that would bring superstar shortstop Miguel Tejada to the Cubs and ship Mark Prior to the AL West. We would certainly be hurting for a starter if that happened, but the thought of that lineup is tempting. Prior is great, but has been so unreliable since he was overworked in 2003 that I am leaning towards favoring this deal. What if we bail out on it and then he tweaks his elbow again? It doesn't matter how good you are when you start your season in July every year.
