‘Laugh it up, Fuzzball,’ as Han Solo once so famously said.

The Packers will be playing in January just about the time Urlacher will be thinking, ‘Yep, the bathroom is definitely dry enough to put on that second coat of paint.’

That is funny; Packers are 12-3, but 12-1 against teams not from Chicago!

Mind you, this game actually meant something to the Packers.

Now the real question: where was this much of the rest of the season?

My Christmas present..the BEARS beat the Packers twice! That makes the whole season worth it for me. I only like two NFL teams. The BEARS and anyon playing the Packers. They will choke in the pre-season, then Farve will retire, sober up, then not.

Last year the Bears were Stupor Bowl bound and yet we Packers fans still counted the season as redeemed because of that 26-7 thrashing Favre & Co. inflicted on Da Bears on New Year’s Eve.

This year it’s the Bears’ turn to cling at the carrion comfort of beating the Pack twice: Band-Aid on a carcinoma.

But at least Lovie has a new savior at quarterback…for now.

Mark, Mark, Mark … this is NOT 1994. Ancient history. What happens this YEAR is what’s important.

I can’t believe Brett Favre said the weather was the worst he has played in! I swear I’ve seen the Pack play in worse conditions. Maybe its a good thing they don’t have home field advantage…the old guy’s blood circulation isn’t what it used to be!

I’ll never forget the watching the Pack whoop up on the Bears at Lambeau in 1994. The high was 3 degrees and if not for booze, I probably wouldn’t be here today!

Best rivalry? Please, the Packers have owned the bears for so long that’s like saying Cards Cubs actually matters to anyone outside of the Bi-state region.
It was a good game, but best rivalry? please…

BTW, when your kick/punt returner is your leading scorer after 15 games (first time in NFL history, probably the last…until next year’s Bears if Grossman plays), then yeah, the joke is still a pretty good one AND a pertinent one.

Just like a Bears fan to call the 12-3 team one that “sucks” while your 6-9 team is staying home.

Good for the Bears that they bested the Packers twice this year, and they definitely handled the conditions MUCH better than Green Bay did. But Green Bay doesn’t “suck”, as they’ll be heading to the NFC playoffs in a couple of weeks.

Why is it fans of Chicago teams have to say everyone else (Detroit Red Wings in hockey; St. Louis Cardinals in baseball; Packers in football) “sucks”? Inferiority complex or what?

Now, if you said “Green Bay sucked TODAY”, well, that would make sense. But fans of Chicago teams, for some reason, don’t know how to differentiate between “today” and “everyday”.
