Big Rig Sports. Changeover season Time to shift to da Bears Depressed over the Cubs, thought of recurrence of business Depression worries him, but Big Al finds solace from awful economic news in prospect of new season of 1st Place Chi football franchise By Allen Owens As the leaves begin to change, and the temps begin to fall; realization begins to set in that another summer is fading away. This past summer was very magical for me as the boys of summer in Chicago had an above average baseball season. This was now finished as well since both teams from the Windy City had been eliminated from the post-season playoffs. I have made the journey up I-65 through Indiana to Chicago many times in my life. This time it felt like the longest trip I had ever made though since I was depressed about the Cubs and the downward spiral of the stock market. The reason that this summer was so magical was because I was able to stay immersed in baseball. On this dark night I was actually listening to CNN, because baseball for me had come to an end. I have a decent job, but I do not have a very good-looking 401k. I am beginning to worry about how my future might look through the current economical crisis that this country faces. This crisis has been compared to the great depression suffered by Americans in the 1930's. I have heard many stories from my grandparents (Daisy and Lester Burris) relating to how hard life was back then. I am a father so I am more concerned with what my children will have to suffer through than for myself. I love my kids but I wonder if they will be strong enough to weather the eventual storm that is coming. I kept having these horrible recollections of how their lives might be. As I merged onto I-80/94 the radio announced that the Bears had won and the Green Bay Packers had lost, so the Bears were in 1st place. In order to bypass the coming gloom, I have shifted my focus to the Bears. The Bears are now 3-2 and the prognosis looks for a good season so get ready to watch some football!
