Sitton Becomes the X Factor on an Improved OL...............

Ha ha. Well first of all they do live a very sheltered existence up there in the tundra. Believe me.  In it's own unique way it's a bit like North Korea with a benevolent dictator for a mayor and not that kid "Fat Panda" who runs the DPRK. 

Nothing bad or critical shall ever be allowed to be said or written about the Porkers less their illusion of invincibility be shattered. Conversely nothing good can ever be said or written about the Bears under threat of torture such as no beer and Friday Night Fish Fry for you for a year!

Whenever I talk football with a few of my old friends the sheer amount of twisted thinking and bad stats they use to rationalize that thinking is almost overwhelming.  The adults have been brainwashed for so long they're hopeless as evidenced by my daughter which is why when I actually want the straight skinny I ask my grandson whose also a staunch Catholic and therefor has had it drilled into him not to lie to his parents or even worse God forbid, his grandfather.

So I can always pull rank on Joe and get the whole story behind the PR being put out by the team and the local media.  If Bo knows football well then Joe knows even more football.  The kid plays it and when not playing he eats and sleeps it so he can dream it too.  He's been playing Madden since he was about 5 and probably quote anyone who asks the Madden rating of all of the players in it's data base. I know a fair amount about football in general but this kid could skunk me in his sleep.  If I want Porker info he's the one I ask.

So while it's entirely possible that Sitton's Pro Bowl days have passed he's so much better than the other vet alternatives we had in for camp and preseason that it's not even close.  I'll take a Kyle Long with a damaged "wing" and Josh Sitton with a bad "big toe" over our other alternatives any day and if by mid season Whitehair proves what Foxy is saying about him is right by November and December we should be winning more games than we lose.
