E-mail from Packer fan living in Chicago

Pistol GBMember

Thought this was worth sharing. Forwarded from a friend of a family member:

------------------------------------------

"Chicago is going to kick some Packer ass." Or if you lived in Chicago, that is all you would read and hear. Today the Tribune has a front-page story on how Halas personally saved the Packers and damn near built Lambeau Field himself. They don't really mention how the Packers bailed his fat ass out during the depression. So to kick things off, here are some things I hate about the Bears:

1. The 1985 Super Bowl Bears. These ass-holes have reunions every week. If there is a free meal to be had, this group of one hit wonders will be there.
2. 61-7. That still pisses me off.
3. George Cumby and Fat Boy. I was there that night. George embarrassed us all. (*)
4. Soldier Field. This crashed space sh*t of a stadium has dirt for a field and yet the locals think it's the best place in sports. Nuke it.
5. Lovie Smith: Someone hook up a heart monitor to see if this guy has a pulse. You hang on each word just to see if he is going to nod off in mid-sentence.
6. The loving memory of Wally Payton. What a crybaby. He never met the media after the Super Bowl because Fat Boy got the TD. I know you all kiss his ass like it was Barack Obama's, but sorry, this guy was all about me that day.
7. The Super Bowl Shuffle video. Even Lil Jimmy Hughes was sucked in by this group. Not me. You won't hear, "I am a NFC North Guy" from this Packer fan. If we lose, it's go Jets or Steelers
8. Urlacher. This guy has fathered more kids out of wedlock than a Siamese King in the 16th Century, then complains when it's in the papers. Thank God for cell phone messages which get plastered on the news, showing what a dick this guy is.

Well, those are my rants for today. Damn the Chicago Bears. Damn their fans. Go Pack.

--------------------------------------------

(*) - I thought this was Mad Dog Douglas? (Goerge Cumby: there's a name you never hear.

)

Can't say I agreed with his take on Walter Payton, but then, I don't have to live in Chitcago.

Also got another report from Chicago that radio stations are running lots of Wisconsin jokes (most of which are about overweight women I guess), and running items like "Top Ten things you won't hear in Wisconsin" with entries like, "Cut the fat off of that steak" and "Hey, turn off that episode of Hee Haw!"

It's all in fun now, but seriously, if the Packers lose, the thought of putting up with insufferable Bears fans the next 50 years is almost...there's no other word: unBEARable.

Please football Gods, do not hex us now!

I...LIVE...AND...WORK...HERE...
you can all feel horror for me now. We are having a Bears rally in the office today, I am, of course, in my Packers gear. I wore my coat, hat, scarf from the train to the office today and only got booed about 5 times. And thankfully, I moved so far away from the city that I now live about 5 miles from the Wisconsin border...I'll be partying across the border tomorrow night.

This is exactly like what things were like here in MPLS last season. I feel for you IL folks and hope like hell the Packers kick the crap out of these Bears on Sunday.

What is all involved in a work "Bears Rally"? Pizza and cake? Subway?

PackerRussDo I amuse you?!

I grew up in Chicago during their SB season, and lived there for about 15 years. Most of my friends are from Chicago, and I get at least 10-15 e-mails and text/calls a day of them taking SHI$. If we lose, I literally, am going to have to change my phone number and get a new e-mail address. I am so thankful, I live in FL now, I don't know if I would be able to take it up there this week. I'm having a hard enough time down here in FL.

Ha! I wish...it'll be beer and "snacks" and bandwagoners walking around in bears stuff from the last super bowl run. I'm getting smack from people today and I just look at them like, have you not been to my office, have you not seen my packer stuff, have you not seen me every other friday during this season? I'm told today is special for them...

I can understand that, it's different for obvious reasons, but even if the Packers played the Queens last year in the NFCCG, I don't think it would compare to the Bears/Packers this year???? Just IMO.

I've got a blown fuse in my car and can't listen to local radio stations on the way to work, so I've been using my cellphone to listen to "The Score" from Chicago. I've been surprised that most of the hosts have been pretty rational and certainly give the Packers their due. They respect Rodgers and know it's going to be a tough game for both teams. Guests over the past week have included Antonio Freeman, Majik, and Wayne Larivee, and they have had good conversations. Now the Bear's fans that call in have usually been complete aholes, but I've been surprised and impressed by the radio hosts.

Pretty much agree with everything but the Payton hate. I am so sick of hearing 1985 this, 1985 that.

Regular years? No. But given the Favre factor I think it was worse. If they'd have played in the NFCC game it would have been much worse than this matchup, IMO.

OMG, this place would have blown up. Really there would have been nothing like it in the history of pro sports.
