I watched the press conference today, live from Halas Hall, with the newly named Head Coach of the Chicago Bears, Marc Trestman. Of course I watched it on the web. I get a big kick out of having access to things that were well out of reach before the web. It was geeky and the live scroll of comments from even geekier Bears fans than me were funny:
Yes, Coach Trestman was rocking back and forth, really testing the width of the locked-down HD camera. And yes, his hair is really strange-looking. But if he improves my beloved team? He could spin like a Whirling Dervish with a raccoon on his bean for all I care.
The press conference got me wanting to see Bears football again. Now. But they've got a lot of work to do and it's gonna take some time.
And we have a whole (shortened) NHL season to get through first. AND nearly a whole MLB season, plus Spring Training!
Regarding Spring Training, several Lovely List Members and I trek annually to the desert Southwest to attend Cactus League Spring Training games. This year we're going outside our comfort zone and seeing our favorite teams in parks and stadiums other than their home fields, in other words, "on the road."
Even though there's still 60+ days before the trip, we're ticketed and I've noticed something: The ticket prices at stadiums that are NOT the Chicago Cubs' or the (World Champion) SF Giants are DIRT FRIKKIN' CHEAP!! I'm talking 8 bucks, not 24. I'll report back about the beer, hot dog and parking prices in 9 weeks, yo.
Go Cubs!
Tonight - Bloodhound
