    Power Rankings and a cup of vente coffee at Starbucks will cost you a tad over $2. I don't put any stock in ESPN's bullshit. That's why I stay as far away from them as is humanly possible.

    Funny thing, the leading NFL site in Denmark just posted their powerranks.
    1. New York Giants


    2. Houston Texans


    3. Green Bay Packers


    4. San Francisco 49ers


    5. New Orleans Saints


    6. Dallas Cowboys
    .
    7. Chicago Bears


    8. Detroit Lions


    9. New England Patriots


    10. Philadelphia Eagles
    I really don't see how Cowgirls can be ranked higher than us, just proves that you can't trust those things. Down to 11? I think they made a mistake, it should have been 1. Just like when we win the superbowl.. (I hope&wish.)

    In college football you kinda have to care about rankings, and they are worth paying attention to, if you hope for your team to get a shot at a title or a decent bowl game. In the NFL, not so much. They could put the Bears dead last for all I care. Doesn't make one ounce of difference in the end. They have to have something to write.

    Power Rankings are fun to think about, IMO. However, they mean two things: Jack and Shit.

    What I really hate is when they do power rankings in baseball. Nothing pisses me off more than that. Teams in different divisions play varying degrees of competition, and therefore a team who goes 103-59 in the American League East might not be as good as someone who goes 97-65 in the National League Central.

    Power Rankings are overblown, overrated, and overused. They're just there to draw readers and create "artful" master debating.

    The defending Superbowl Champs are #1 until they get beaten in the playoffs,
    that's it, that is all you need to know about an NFL power ranking.

    Pre-Seaon Power Rankings are a joke. In every sport.

    Hey I know those two guys! You're talking about Jack "For Money" and Shit "For Brains" aren't you?

    That was what they were calling me after my divorce settlement some years ago.
    I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

    It's best that the Bears be the team that is on the prowl and not the targeted prey.
