What an amazing weekend of professional football!  Could any Illiana resident ask for a better situation than the Colts vs. Bears match-up for Super Bowl XLI?  

Although I thoroughly enjoyed a huge Bears victory on Sunday, it was bittersweet seeing fellow Naperville Central High School alum and Coach of the Year Sean Payton take the defeat.  Payton's NCHS baseball picture is above.  

As the Bears face the Colts on February 4th in Miami, they will also be squaring off against a Wabash alum.  Pete Metzelaars '82 is an offensive assistant coach for the Colts.  While at Wabash, Metzelaars was an All-American football and basketball player, winning a national championship for basketball in 1982.  Metzelaars went on to a 16 year NFL career and 4 Super Bowl appearances with the Buffalo Bills.  Best of luck to Pete and the Colts in the big one!
