Sunday, Sept. 08, 2002 - 7:33 p.m. First of all, I want to say right here that I was wrong. I gave up on the old guy, and I should have known that he could pull it out. Never give up on an old pro when he has time to come up with a stunning victory. So, Pete Sampras, my hat is off to you. I though Andre Aggasi would beat the snot out of you, but I was wrong. At 31, Sampras is the oldest man to win the U.S. Open since 1970. 31? I fell very old right now. Oh yeah, I was wrong about the Bears, too. Their old quarterback (Jim Miller) didn�t want to go home a looser in his first start at Champaign. After trailing 20-10 at the half, Miller rallied the Bears for a come-from-behind 27-23 victory. The Bears scored 2 touchdowns in the final 6:13 of the game, and held the Vikings to only 3 points in the second half. Yeah, I gave up on them a little too quickly again. Look, it�s this simple: No team should have as much luck as my team has had the past few years. Last year, they won 2 games in overtime on tipped passes that the Bears safety, Mike Brown, returned for touchdowns for the win. Today, with the Bears down by 3 with only 2:34 to go in the game, Brown again intercepted a (Dante Culpepper) pass on his own 33-yard line and returned it to the Bears 49 yard line. From there, Jim Miller quickly moved the team down the field, setting the Bears up for what looked like a game-tying field goal attempt. Instead, he made a perfect pass to David Terrell (who was M.I.A. for the first 59:40 minutes of the game) from 9 yards out to cap off the come-from-behind victory 27-23. They can�t do this again every week this year, can they? I have to apologize for wasting my 400th entry on whining about my favorite football team. Sorry. Now, if I had an entire batch of salsa go to waste because the lids didn�t seal, I would have really had something worth complaining about, wouldn�t I? Back to more mundane things: Supper tonight consisted of fresh corn on the cob (about 2 pm, during the football game), sliced tomatoes from the garden, sirloin steak cooked on the grill, Yukon Gold (about the last from my garden this year) smashed potatoes, and a little fettuccini with thetomato sauce I whipped up yesterdays. Yeah, sound like a bunch of calories. We ate a (relatively) light breakfast at 9 am, and everything listed above was eaten as our supper, we didn�t eat too many calories today, right? Oh well...I can always take a long walk tomorrow after work, in any case���
