How did the NFL put together this year`s schedule? The Bears don`t play the Packers till game 14, in G.B., and then at Chicago in game 16, the end of the season! They did the same thing with San Diego and L.A. Raiders. Why should you have to wait so long to play a team in your division, and then play them in 2 of your next 3 games. There are a couple more of these 1 team twice in 3 weeks set-ups. I also noticed that 2 NFC teams will not be on Monday night football, but 6 AFC teams won`t be on then also. The Giants have 3 Monday night games. I don`t see what is so appealing about the Giants that ABC wants them on 3 times this year or about the NFC at that. A Bear fan through and through, I seem to enjoy AFC games better, though I don`t know why. Does anyone know how much pull ABC has in getting teams they want on Monday night? Tom O`Connor
