Want to experience the difference between Vikings and Bears fans? Try KFAN and the Score after their respective team loses a game.

Bears fans tend to be drunk and they tend to be really tough on their teams, but they are not afraid to give the other team credit.

Vikings fans, without exception, are just a bunch of whiners. The only fans in the NFL that are in the same zip code as whiners are 49er fans.

I currently live in St. Paul, and Queens fans are the worst.  I grew up in a 'burb of Chicago, and was in 5th grade in '85.  That Bears team was awesome, and I sung the Superbowl Shuffle with all of my friends.  This was before Direct TV, so I wasn't able to watch the Packers.  I'd have to follow them through ESPN, and the Monday AM paper.  My old man is a Bears fan (born in MKE), my mom is a Pack fan (born in MKE), and 1 grandpa was a Bears fan and the other was a Pack fan.  I know the Bears are our true rivals, and respect them, and if the Packers don't get to the dance, then I would root for the Bears.  I have many friends, that are bears fans, and hope they can relish in a SB win, just not at the expense of the Packers.  The NFCCG is the W, that I will cherish the most.

As for the Queens, F@#$ in the ear.  They are the worst.

I loved the Doug Buffone/Ed O'bradovich shows after a Bears loss.  Loved the passion they showed.  Even though they didn't like the Packers due to the rivalry, I always got the feeling they respected them.  Since Buffone passed I haven't listened, but I always liked listening to those guys, they were hilarious.

where i live, at night 670 is clear as a bell - luv listening into the bridge jumping and teeth gnashing.  gold radio there.  as for kfan, that paul guy is just un-listenable, i mean seriously jaded, so if you are a blinder queen fan, you see roses and daisies all day when your team sucks in reality, then goody for you, i guess.  I have the sirius xm gamepass and our guys, wayne/larry are homers but not jaded like the queen game callers- if gb throws a pick or a fumble, its not quiet on the air - they talk about what happened and the mistake, etc...

PKR North, because I am on vacation in Canada, I also listen to SiriusXM and Wayne/Larry. I like the guys and agree that they are not so much homers as compared to others. The SiriusXM allows me to listen to the other teams guys as well if I want. One time listening to MN radio made me want to throw up. But to me the Bears rivalry is still the best in the NFL. I hate the Bears. I have too many years of Packers fandom to do other.

Oh. Hey. 

Bulletin Board material:

I've only been watching the Pack since '78 so I missed some of those older rivalry games.  But since I've been watching, those mid '80s brawls between the 2 teams were the most intense affairs I can remember in the Bears/Packers series.  Both teams played hard and dirty, to be honest I think the Packers were the dirtier team.  That cheap shot by Charles Martin on Jim McMahon pretty much was about as dirty as it gets.  At the time, I loved it... but truth is it was awful and symbolized that things got out of hand between the 2 teams.

Who would have thunk that by the mid '90s some of those Bears we hated would end up becoming Green Bay Packers on some great Packers' teams.  You had Steve McMichael join the good guys in 1994 and then Jim McMahon and Ron Cox shortly after.  I don't think either McMichael or McMahon ever embraced being Packers, but they didn't mind the paychecks.

Yeah, it's not the same. Buffon was so into it. It was special. Best post-game show in the league, when he did it.

I was in grad school 30 years ago with a guy from Chicago was a die-hard Bears fan. He got married to a girl - whose dad was on the Board of Directors for the Packers. He got to sit in a box for every Packers - Bears game in Green Bay. But he could not wear any Bears gear nor open his mouth in support for the Bears. He said it was painful. 😂

Purgatory for all Bears fans...in the Cutler era.

I’m starting to feel like Morgan Freeman when he’s taking the bus at the end of Shawshank to Mexico to see Tim Robbins. So much pent up anticipation for Sunday! 

I bet the first thing Red did after he got off that bus and before he went to see Andy on that beach was to take a big excited dump at the Mexican bus station.

Zihuatenejo doesnt look like that any more, plenty built up and trendy in a Mexican way, vacationed there many times over the years.....Bo Dereck also ran on that beach in 10.

In Shawshank Redemption 2 Andy and Red become wildly successful resort developers who rarely talk about where the seed money came from. After his release from prison Byron Hadley is “lost” at sea after his scuba gear fails on Rods Scuba Excursions. Hadley travels to Mexico based on a tip from the guy who was losing highway projects to Norton because his wife couldn’t bake. No one connects the dots as Andy and Red go by Andrew and Rod now. 

The script is a work in progress.
