#BEARS PLAY BY PLAY DRIVER#
Favre goes to Driver again, but Jerry Azumah breaks it up and the Packers have to punt on their first possession. Rosevelt Colvin stuffs Green at the line and it's third down. A short pass to Green is stuffed by linebacker Mike Caldwell, who's playing for the injured Warrick Holdman. Favre quickly hits Donald Driver up the middle just beyond the first-down marker. The Packers start from the 25 and Ahman Green runs for 2 yards. Hey, it's the Bears' first Monday night game in five years. Paul Edinger kicks off as many flash bulbs pop. In honor of Packers fans everywhere, I'm decked out entirely in fluorescent orange. The Bears are in all blue, and before we get started, I'd like to thank the fine folks from Cabela's. John Madden and Al Michaels talk up Brett Favre and the fact that they're actually in Champaign, Ill. The Bears run out of the tunnel wearing blue jerseys and blue pants. That means a lot in any game, but especially one in which Brett Favre is on the other side of the ball.ĪBC couldn't come up with a better local celeb than Jim Belushi for the intro?Īs for Hank Williams Jr., all you need to know about little Hank's career is the "Are you ready for some football" anthem that won't die is on his greatest hits album-along with 15 other titles that begin with "Ain't." Seriously, if you own this CD, do you crank this one on, say, Wednesday nights in June?

That's the Bears' best pass rusher and best single-coverage defensive back. McQuarters, listed as questionable, are in the starting lineup. Drop us a line at a football note, defensive end Phillip Daniels and cornerback R.W. We'll be here all game, so join us and, as usual, don't be shy.

Not to make light of any impending war, but good thing the President's speech wasn't an hour later and carried on ABC. Does it get any bigger than this? With apologies to the Prez, the Bears and Packers have played 164 times.
