I was curious about this game and I certainly thought the first quarter was one of the more exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed, and I got to see the first half between the hours of midnight and 2 a.m. on France's channel 2 en direct.
It's weird though, because where American channels cut to commercials every minute for commercials, the French don't. For that reason, there was a continuous feed being shown and I got to see the players standing around chatting - y'know, "how's your mother, Peyton?" type stuff. Very weird. You see them standing in a circle, just talking, for a minute as the U.S. stations take another opportunity to inundate the American viewer with more ideas of junk to buy. It was a very humanizing moment, for these dieties of sport.
So, my question to my very limited Bears fan readers is: how much do you hate Grossman now? He made some ugly ugly errors. So much for my former high school's best hope for a Super Bowl ring.
