Here's something shocking. The media, blowing crap out of proportion, and MLF shooting it down.
I think the situation between LaFleur and Rodgers is so bad, if LaFleur has newborn puppies at home, Rodgers will come over to his house just to kick them.
Even better with audio. Nice to see this kid getting more balls with the media.
Coach has had...enough.

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if other teams were interested in Lazard, which forced that move.

If he was real mean he'd BBQ them.
"Here's something shocking. The media, blowing crap out of proportion, and MLF shooting it down.
A hundred years ago (it seems), access to players and whatever drama played out was restricted to news pros. That admittedly required some soft sell by papers and TV/radio but it also kept teapots from brewing tempests.
Now, anyone with a domain name or twitter account is a credentialed sports journalist (when did that even become a thing?). The only way to stand out among the rest of the wannabes is to play up the drama that plays to a 280 character attention span. Thus LaFleur-"tomayto"; Rodgers- "tomahto" leads.

If other teams were interested, all they had to do was claim him off waivers a few days ago.
Understood. But teams are always massaging their rosters and it's possible somebody was showing interest in Lazard for their 53 after waiver claims.

I would not have that kind of patience. Impressive. Plus I think it worked: You could hear the questioner's voice crack for the second part of the question.
Want to make someone look foolish? Laugh at them. If you get truly mad, that only feeds the fire. Well played Frenchy.
Nice job by LaFluffer there. The damn media is always trying to keep a brother down.

Get it right.
I wonder what clown was asking the question?

You should work on that.

I think it was just an opportunity to give Jace half a season (or a whole season plus off-season if he doesn't come back) to get stronger. He's not ready to be a TE in the NFL just yet.

Yeah I'll get right on it hey.
The Bears list Trey Burton, Rashaad Coward and Bilal Nichols as questionable for Thursday’s game.

This is the worst take imaginable.
Interesting Q&A
It's bears week, which means it's time for my yearly rant against the worst franchise in all of sports.
You youngins and folks overcome by recency bias can tell me all about your "hate" for the Vikings. You're wrong. The Vikings are nothing. They are irrelevant. They are gnats. They aren't worth the time or the effort to worry about.
There is but one rival of the Green Bay Packers. Everyone else is a simply a week long discussion. The bears and the hate for them is lifelong.
As Packer fans it's our duty, it's our mandate to hold the bears in contempt above every other team. Records don't matter. The last 10 years doesn't matter. Dominating them for nearly 30 years doesn't matter. Win 20 in a row. Lose 20 in a row. They are our rivals. Period. They can go through 67 QBs in 12 years? F**K THEM. They can lose in hearthbreaking fashion? F**K THEM. No empathy. No feelings. No sympathy. F**k the bears previously. F**k the bears today. F**k the bears forever.
I write this every year - and over and over I read people and nonsense "I at least respect the bears and their fans unlike the Vikings". FOH man. I say this over and over, anyone thinking this is simply reacting to recent history of the bears being a dumpster fire. I said it over and over - the second, the literal second they experience any iota of success, they will revert to the goddamned asshats they always have been. Do I need to highlight anything more than last year?
61-7. Perry over Cumby. Ditka. Kevin goddamned Butler. Their goddamned horrific fields. Dan Hampton. Their fans. Dan Singletary and his stupid goddamned eyes. Their shitass stadium. Doug Plank. Buddy Ryan. Hub Arkush. Doug Buffone. Butkus. Every f**king guy on the SCORE. THEIR F**KING FANS. Coming back to you now, isn't it?
Again, KEVIN, AND I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, FUKKING BUTLER.
No pity. No mercy. F**k the bears.
With that, let's review the top best wins over the bears, this list is too hard to limit to 5. And, let's add another to the list.
1. NFCC game 1/23/11 21-14 win. For pure importance it doesn't get bigger than this. Literally it can't unless rules are changed for who can play for SB. Only the 2nd playoff meeting of all time. In Chicago. Winner goes to the Super Bowl. I've never been so amped/nervous/demented about a game in my life. Mainly because I'm fairly confident my father would have died that day if they lost. But, also because as disappointing it would have been to lose the NFCC, losing the NFCC to the Bears would have been an absolute horror show. I sometimes think beating the Bears in the NFCC was more satisfying than the Super Bowl win, as no matter what - we will always be able to say we beat them at their place and prevented them from going to the Super Bowl. That said, I know the win wouldn't mean as much without the SB title.
2. We Have A Reversal 11/5/89 14-13 win. I'm a sophomore college at Illinois. Surrounded by Bears fans. The emotions of that play go from elation to getting trash talked to doing the trash talking. Ditka still pissed off to this day. The asterisk. Plus, at the time you really thought this was a resurgence of the Packers after years of hot garbage, as well as a win in a 3-18 stretch vs them.
3. Taken by Chester Marcol! 9/7/80 12-6 win. The glasses. The single bar facemask. A guy named Chester. Sudden Death. Craziest ending ever. I hope he still has that football...
4. The Monsoon game 10/31/94 33-6 win. Torrential rain. Throw back uniforms. Favre "running" for that 36 yard TD. Sayers and Butkus getting their jerseys retired at halftime and then pour it on more in 2nd half. I really thought we were up much bigger at half, but it was only 14-0. Monday night game that introduced the nation to the new Green Bay Packers. Cannot for the life of me find any video at all from that game.
5. Epic Beatdown 11/9/14 55-14 win. I lived through 61-7. I heard Dan friggin Jiggets talk about it on Chicago radio every 12 minutes. Knowing that they probably could have put up 80 and backed off is even better than topping 61-7.
6. COBB!!!!! 12/29/13 33-28 win. Maybe the 3rd most important game in terms of playoff impact. Rodgers first game after coming back from collarbone. Winner goes to playoffs. Great game back and forth. Boykin with the crazy fumble recovery TD and of course the Cobb TD pass after Rodgers just missed getting killed by Peppers. I was SCREAMING about Jordy getting murdered on that play and it wasn't called. Thank god we don't have to relive that missed call.
7. ON ONE LEG 9/9/18 24-23 win I mean. You go from "welp season's over" to "OMG KIZER IS THE WORST ****ING QB IN THE HISTORY OF EARTH" to "GERONIMO!!!" to Randall Cobb again ripping the hearts out of the bears to sweating out the last drive after a just insanely horrible roughing call that to this day is inexplicable.
Again. F**k. The. bears. ALWAYS. Sweep the leg. No mercy.

I’m wildly pumped. In fact.....
I find I'm so excited that I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at a start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border.
Love that movie, the music, the shots of the fans....

Sheepshank Reduction?
Yes sir, Tim. They are the rival. The vikings are just the annoying punk who wants to be considered relevant. The whole Favre saga was annoying but it is just a blip compared to the history of Packers vs Bears.
For me personally, the NFCC game in Chicago was was as good as it gets.
The Packers (we) can beat Travinski.
