Open Thread: Monday Night Football (Bears v. Eagles)

I like football.

Do you like football?

You do? Neat. Let's watch the Bears play the Eagles on Monday Night Football together then.

And if you could somehow keep a good thought about Jason Avant finishing with less than 62 yards and no TDs, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Jerry: Hi! Pleased to meet you, I just moved in. My name is Jerry Ford.
Homer: [gasps] Former President Gerald Ford? Put her there! I’m Homer Simpson!
Jerry: Say, Homer, do you like football?
Homer: Do I ever!
Jerry: Do you like nachos?
Homer: Yes, Mr. Ford.
Jerry: Well, why don’t you come over and watch the game, and we’ll have nachos? And then, some beer.
Homer: Ooh!

Jerry, I think you and I are going to get along just —

Both: D’oh!
