My Super Bowl Prediction

Tomorrow at Clare’s will be dicey—a bunch of Bears’ and Packers’ fans watching two other teams play in the Super Bowl. My grandson is upset his mother is rooting for a different team than he is. I won’t predict the final score, though I will join my daughter in rooting, faintly, for the Eagles. What I am willing to bet on is a moment of silence for Virginia McCaskey, late owner of the team and daughter of George Halas. After that, Ryan Poles will still be the GM; his team will still have an awful offensive line; and ownership will continue to push for public money to help them build a mega mall/stadium on the Chicago lakefront. There are some things in these parts that death won’t change.
