Typical, just keep up personally attacks instead of using a logical argument. Congrats, you're the first person I've used the "ignore" button on.

Victory!

This Bear looks like he's on the same friggin steroid Secretariat was on. No anabolic steroids (or more likely these days HGH) have never gotten into the Bears program.

Of course they have. Any NFL fan who points to opponents and cries roids is either naive or dense on the subject. It's a waste of time.

Well, you sure seem to be wasting a lot of time on it.

I'm just surprised that all the CHI fans managed to find their Bears jerseys again after they got buried under all their new Blackhawks swag...

While they're hunting they can dig out the Cubs gear for when pitchers and catchers report on Feb 14th. This is finally the year when they end the drought.

Lighten up, Francis. Also, none of those guys who you mentioned were undersized back-ups in HS who suddenly gained 80+ pounds of muscle.

Fair enough. What about Jordan then? Cut his sophomore year to best player ever? Skinnier than me in college (that's definitely saying something) to a pretty strong guy. I definitely don't believe Jordon was on roids (or a lot of those guys...wouldn't surprise me if Wade - seriously, look at the size of his 2 years ago to now compared to when he was at MU - Peterson, or Lebron was at some piont), but just because a guy wasn't an amazing player at one point and then became one doesn't mean he is on roids.

To go along with that, in my opinion Clay Matthews is good because of his work effort. You've seen the guy play...he just NEVER stops. He doesn't take plays off, he doesn't go at it half-heartedly. Every play he is going balls to the walls. Obviously he has athletic talent in that he is extremely strong and very fast, but to me what makes him very good is his motor, and that has nothing to do with his physical tools.

Absoluetly nothing to do with the bears/packers. But in all honesty, that guys rendition of the national anthem sucked big time. On a side note, the bears fans screaming and cheering during the beginning, middle and end of the anthem was bad also.

My assumption is you've never seen/heard of/been to a Blackhawks game.

I don't know if I've ever seen/heard so much dislike towards a national anthem performance. For people in Chicago, it's been a news story. I don't expect Packer fans to care, but yikes, much to do about nothing.

They're a championship-winning team located in Illinois. Wisconsites haven't seen one of those for a while so I can understand the confusion.

They are an NHL franchise. You know, the thing Wisconsin tried to get by building the Bradley Center but failed.

But really though, who do Wisconsin people cheer for in hockey? Blackhawks? Wild? Red Wings? Predators?

Please, one championship in a sport most of America doesn't follow and all of a sudden Illinois is a championship state, good one.

Same team that Wisconsin people cheer for in pro basketball, the Packers.

In all seriousness though, with no NHL franchise pro hockey is pretty much written off and most people who enjoy hockey follow the Badgers. Seasons overlap heavily with both them and the Pack, so it's not a top priority.

Exactly. Three years ago when Bill Wirtz died and his son finally put the games back on TV. When this happened three years ago, the Hawks had the young studs but by no means were they a championship calibur team so it's not like everyone hopped on once they made the finals last year.

How many Brewers and Bucks fans would there be if they weren't on TV?

Given the fact that I can remember a time in the not so distant past where only about 1 game per week was televised, and now they're only televised on cable, about the same amount (still not a huge number, especially for the Bucks).

I started following the Hawks again the day the old man died. He tried his damnest to kill that franchise. But his kid and the guy that got from the cubs that does the marketing stuff did a great job.

West Allis Lightning Boys 16 and Under Junior Olympic Open (highest) Division National Champions. Boys club volleyball brought a National Championship to Wisconsin on July 6, 2010, so that's pretty recent

. We actually beat a team from Chicago in the championship (Ultimate Gold).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Blackhawks

"National anthem

It is a tradition for Blackhawks fans to applaud and cheer loudly during the singing of the national anthems. This tradition originated during a 1985 Campbell Conference playoff game at Chicago Stadium versus the Edmonton Oilers.[36]"

also, this was a big deal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvpxVE_kQXg

it's a BIG tradition that was carried over to the bears' game. i'm in favor of it if it gets the crowd charged up.
