The Blue & Orange Kool-Aid Report: Slim Shady vs. Jiffy Helmet

By Carl Mohrbacher

Clear Eyes, Bye Week . . . Can’t Lose
Leading the Bucs 21-5 at the start fourth quarter, Mike Martz capitalized on his free time by planning his bye-week activities. While it nearly cost the Bears the game, it wasn’t a total waste. Here are some of his ideas for Week 8.
* Schedule an appointment at Jiffy Helmet to get that pesky issue with the sideline radio worked out.
* My quarterback keeps telling me to eat a dick, why not expand some horizons? Get that big guy Rollo on the phone and make it a true bi-week!
* We’re playing the Eagles, Lions, Chargers, Raiders and Chiefs over the next five games? Note to self: Call Rich Eisen, you know, just to stay on his radar in case the NFL Network could use an extra analyst in the offseason.
* Post my sweet Tebowing picture from the pool bathroom on LinkedIn.

Fantasy Fix: A Camtastic First Half

By Dan O’Shea

This column is not about Tim Tebow.
If you’re still reading, it is about a QB who has passed for more yards than Aaron Rodgers, has more total TDs than Tom Brady or Drew Brees, and who has run for yards than any QB except Michael Vick.
Cam Newton, QB, Carolina, is my choice for fantasy football MVP for the season’s first half.

Extreme Snowmobiling In Wrigleyville

By Red Bull PR

Eight of the globe’s top snowmobilers are descending upon Wrigleyville for Red Bull Fuel and Fury, a freestyle snowmobile competition that will take place outside of iconic Wrigley Field. The event, which will send competitors soaring against the night skyline, will mark the first time that extreme snowmobiling has touched ground in the heart of Chicago.
The competition will take place on one of the most jaw-dropping courses that the sport has ever seen. Thousands of cubic yards of woodchips, dirt and turf will be laid to the asphalt beneath three mammoth steel ramps. Between flips, grabs and big-air tricks, the unrelenting series of kickers will let riders ferociously vie for victory in front of captivated onlookers, and a panel of heavyweight judges. The competition will be judged in a double eliminated bracket.
