Bears-Ravens, Brought To You By Prison Labor

If you were planning on watching Packers-Steelers, Bears-Ravens, or 49ers-Eagles at 1:00, we regret to inform you that these games have been pushed back to start just after 4 P.M. After a flight delay, the Bears were finally able to make it to Baltimore Saturday night, and the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium should be suitable for play. Who’s to thank? Prison inmates!

↵↵The team had 700 workers at the stadium beginning Friday to help clear the area, as well as 125 inmates and supervisors from the state Department of Corrections.

↵↵Are you familiar with the well-worn cliche of the codgery old man cracking open a can of beer, slouching in his seat, and declaring that “those fellas on the football field are nothing but a bunch of thugs and criminals”? On Sunday, for once in his life, he will be kind of correct!
