As the sellout crowd trickled into Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night for the Marquette-Connecticut game, there must have been many attendees who did a double-take when they saw two spectators amiably chatting in the front row.
Yes, that indeed was Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur chomping down on some popcorn. But who was LaFleur talking to?
Is that .... Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus?

Much ado about nothing.
Probably settling a bet. Eberflus paid for the popcorn!
He's just being a good owner and treating Eberflus to an employee appreciation day.
Best. Rivalry. Evah
Some how I donāt see George hosting Vince for a 1963 Zephyrs game.
Never know.
I have heard this story before.
"The night before the 1961 champion game, Lombardi took his Fordham classmate Wellington Mara out for dinner at a restaurant 25 miles away in Appleton, to get away from the small-town nosiness of Green Bay. Mara, who ran the Giantsā football operations, hired Lombardi as an assistant in 1954 and had encouraged him to take the Green Bay appointment in 1959. They had a pleasant dinner. Then Lombardi suddenly signed the check and left, telling Mara to find his own way back to the hotel. Mara was shocked."
I hope Eberflus drove himself.
Theyāre laughing about how the Bears will trade Justin Fields to the Vikings. (Fields is getting 3/1 odds to be the Vikings starting QB this year)
