ESPN.com: Page 2 : Welcome back, NFL: "The Dr. Gregory House Award for 'Legitimate sleeper that absolutely nobody saw coming'
Because that's the thing about sleepers: Nobody should be able to predict them. Last year, the Chargers came out of nowhere. The year before, Carolina. In 2001, New England and Chicago. When you hear people throwing the word 'sleeper' around for teams like Arizona and Cincy, those are NOT real sleepers. You need to choose someone from this putrid group: Redskins, Giants, Bears, Bucs, Niners, Raiders, Titans, Browns, Bills and Dolphins. I'm telling you, one of those nine teams will make the 2005 playoffs, and everyone is going to say, 'Oh my God, how did that happen????'
Urlacher might finally make 'the leap' from 'that guy in the soup commercial' to 'that guy on the Bears.'
So here's my pick: The Chicago Bears."
Wooooo Hoooooo! Thank you SG even if this does end up being the highlight of the season.
