How can I put this gently? Bears damn lucky they played an NFL doormat. #nwi.bears
Jay Cutler is now wearing No. 10 for the Chicago Bears. #nwi.bears

The White Sox pounded the tired, pressure-filled Cubs but I was glad to see they gave their offense a rest -- again. #nwi.crosstownclassic

Russell Wilson's late TD pass merely a door prize for Seahawks, who fall 24-17 to fired-up Bears. #nwi.bears

Prince Amukamara, thank you. His 49 INT-return TD gives Bears 24-10 lead at 6:37. Defense smelling blood. Not letting up. #nwi.bears

Trubisky and Anthony Miller hook up for 10-yard TD reception early in 4th, making it 17-3 -- but Seahawks are threatening. #nwi.bears
Now 10-0, Bears over Seahawks. There's more "breathing" room in a phone booth. #nwi.bears

What a math dummy I am. It's 10-3, Bears. FGs only count for 3 points last time I looked. Sorry. #nwi.bears
Russell Wilson sacked 5x first half. Has had a nice view of the heavens in this MNF game. #nwi.bears
HOF Brian Urlacher honored by McCaskey family at 1/2 time. Many ex-teammates showed up. Bet he could still play a series or two. #nwi.bears

It took 40-year-old Sebastian Janikowski's 56 FG as time expired to get Seattle on the board, 10-7, at the 1/2. #nwi.bears

Feels like Bears are dominating gum-chewing Pete Carroll and his Seahawks, but lead only 7-0. Need some breathing room. #nwi.bears

Bears lead Seahawks 7-0 on Mitch Trubisky shovel pass to Trey Burton, capping 10-play, 96-yard drive with 3 def. penalties. #nwi.bears

EC's Kawann Short and Carolina Panthers meet their match vs. Hurricane Florence, respectfully. My Sunday column in The Times. #nwi.nfl

The Cubs are tired & feel pressure? They're overpaid, eat the finest food, sleep in best hotels, fly 1st class ... bull-bleep!. #nwi.cubs

I watched 9/11 unfold that horrific morning and didn't leave my couch for hours. How could anyone hate us that much? We know now.#nwi.9/11
