Colts and Bears dance on Sunday Night Football

And although this is not your favorite episode of 'Dancing with The Stars', the stars will come Sunday night, dancing to put the hurt on somebody.

The first Sunday Night Football of the 2008-09 NFL football season is turning out to be a good one as the NFL pits the two teams that played for the Super Bowl two seasons ago.

It's the Indianapolis Colts going up against the Chicago Bears, the first ''official'' NFL game at the Colts' new yard, the $720 million Lucas Oil Stadium. (Yeah, I know, ''Lucas Oil'' doesn't really have that nice ring to it but hey, since it's home to one of the best franchises in football history, we'll deal with it...)

The transition from the RCA Dome to the Lucas Oil Stadium has finally begun for the Indianapolis Colts. However, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Two seasons ago, the Colts took advantage the Bears' primary weakness to win Super Bowl XLI, quarterback play. Yes, no matter how good the Chicago defense was two years ago, poor quarterback play was still an issue as the Colts took advantage to give Peyton Manning his first Super Bowl ring.

Two years later, quarterback play is still an issue the Bears can't seem to get rid of. Like an irritating rash, the Bears, no matter what they do, always had this fucking things up for them. Was it mainly because of the immaturity of Rex Grossman or is it because of poor pass protection, leaving Grossman no choice but to look like an ass every goddamn Sunday?

Well, coming to this game, they will have Kyle Orton running things and if he can come out of this game against the Colts smelling like a rose, then we can start blaming Grossman for all the troubles the Bears have been having with the position the last couple of years.

For what it's worth, Orton claims he's ready to take on the challenge this Sunday night as he looks to redeem his team from the humiliation they got from Super Bowl XLI.

''I've learned a lot of stuff, and obviously I'm a different guy from '05 in all aspects of my life,'' Orton said, referring to his 2005 rookie season. ''I'm different just like everybody else is three or four years down the road.''
