We can’t be too careful
Weather beat: Skilling exiles self for incorrect Bears game forecast – TheHeckler.com
There’s a lot of inherent risk to weather forecasting, as this article points out (WARNING: Satire).
Asked why he felt the need to sacrifice himself over a wrong prediction – a common occurrence among meteorologist – Skilling said, “Bad predictions are for the [WFLD's rival 9 p.m. weatherman] Rick DiMaios of the world.”

Bear down!
NFC 2007 Divisional Playoffs: Bears 27, Seahawks 24 (OT)
The Bears came out of whatever hole in the ground they’ve been hiding in for the past month and finally won a Divisional round game. I’m sure the rest of the Seattle is going to be celebrating with me this week 
To their credit, the Hawks played a great game and Alexander was able to take the Bears’ D to the tune of 108 yards and Grossman was under a lot of pressure today, but Rex handled it admirably and showed us the face we saw in September and thankfully not the one we put up with last month.
New Orleans up next week. How many people outside of Chicago are going to be rooting against the Saints?
Another show coming up for Chicago: a big winter storm should be starting in the next few hours, although given the weather out here I won’t have quite so much reason to be jealous.
