The Bears of Chicago are heavy underdogs tonight, resulting in Uncle Vegas showering us with the gift of a +210 line taking them straight-up. (If you don't know what that means, don't bother, it is probably in your long-term interest that you ignore this post.) But, thanks to the over-reaching US Congress, my internet, um, bookie has been shut down. I mean, this is government run amok! (OK, so many of you are pointing out that I say those words approximately 7 times a day, but this time I really mean it.)

Why is the US Government so against my enjoying the simple pleasure of Super Bowl profit? Bastards.

Addendum: Thanks to Lovie Smith's inexplicable reluctance to run the ball, coupled with Rex Grossman's general incompetence, I find myself in the odd position of actually benefiting (post hoc) from a government policy designed to protect me from myself. Oh, how Fate mocks me.
