Packers vs. Bears Insanity

[Hards Alumni]

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?

WINGS.

Bruins!  Live here now, and since MKE doesn't have a NHL team, I'm allowed to adopt them.

Fire it up B's!!!!!

[ZiggysFryBoy]

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.

this still gives me goosebumps.

WINGS.

I was a Wings fan up until the strike(s)/lockout(s).

Sorry about the playoffs last year.  Tough exit!  I would have rather seen you advance than Philly.

I'm going to assume you're not a Blackhawk fan, or you didn't watch the opening of Seahawks/Bears on Sunday. Darren Rovell tweeted that Cornelision's anthem before Seahawks/Bears was the best national anthem performance ever.

Rovell is on crack.  It was good, but please.  Roseanne Barr's was the best.

I think you may be forgetting Carl Lewis.  I don't know which was worse.

Not to nit-pick, but I think it can be argued here that he's not exactly jacked in this picture; but like I said, I give him the benefit of the doubt until he's proven guilty.  I won't fault the guy for having played for a cheating coach at a cheating program, and having a cheating roommate.

Here are a few others of him at USC

There is a lot to be said for a football family with football genes.

What's hockey?

Wisconsin may have to learn what hockey is if the NFL and NBA both lockout next season.  That has to be the NHL's dream come true.

Wow. Lame.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Who is that pretty blonde girl lifting weights and in football pads? 

   you are attracted to Clay Matthews? 

not that there's anything wrong with that

DJO Pump Fake..."Peppers had 2 tackles and no sacks against the worst playoff team in NFL history, AT HOME"

Technically, according to football insiders, they were the 2nd worst all time.

The worst would have to be the Saints since they lost to the 2nd worst all time.

We all secretly knew you wanted to be hogtied by Jared Allen but I never thought you wanted to be Clay's bear.

Jesus...the Score has been darn near unlistenable this week.  "Meatball Nirvana" is starting to kill me.

I agree. Just terrible.

From the fine folks over at KSK (semi-NSFW), a history of the Packers Bears rivalry

http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2011/01/a-fat-peoples-history-of-the-packers-bears-rivalry.html#more-34144

My favorite comes from the comments

1993 – Reggie White decides to sign with the Packers, noting Green Bay's scarcity of Asians trying to turn his television into a wristwatch.

not that there's anything wrong with that

But he's not attracted to actual hotties which is even more disturbing.

Didn't realize that Terry McAulay was the ref for the Pack/Bears Monday night game earlier this season, but he'll be the ref Sunday afternoon. Rest of the crew is an all star crew, so it'll be interesting to see how many (if any) of his crew calls the game Sunday.

Hochuli gets the AFC title game.

Packers fans better be sure to say a prayer and thank Papa Bear Halas before they go to bed......

But perhaps Halas' biggest contribution to his football neighbor 185 miles to the north went beyond supporting stadium projects that kept afloat teams in small markets such as Green Bay. When the Packers needed to hire a coach at the end of the 1958 season, team President Dominic Olejniczak sought Halas' opinion.

"Vince Lombardi's your man,'' Halas told Olejniczak.

Indeed he was. No wonder when Halas died in 1983, Olejniczak was quoted in newspapers as saying, "The Packers could not have had a better friend than George Halas."

With the Packers facing the threat of NFL relocation unless city residents approved a new football stadium, Halas boldly sought to keep his field enemies closer to Chicago.

The article I posted states that as well.
