Mike Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This is a story about the priest from my wife's hometown, Fennimore, Wisconsin. Father Horath performed our marriage ceremony back in 1977. He's a Bears fan stuck in the middle of Packers territory. A wonderful man. Link to comment

yabadabapal Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Green Bay Newspaper Spells Chicaco incorrectly. Funny stuff Heres the story. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/21/green-bay-newspaper-spell_n_812269.html?ir=Sports "There is no excuse for the spelling error on the front page of Monday’s Press-Gazette. We Know the great city of Chicago is spelled with Two “c”s and a G, and not three “c”s. We were equally embarrassed we Got it wrong in the first place and then failed to catch in in the proofreadingProcess . We apologize for the error. In the event that the Packers win Sunday And advance to the Super Bowl, We’ll spell the host city of Dallas Correctly". Link to comment
Mike Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am ready for this game. This is going to be one of the great games to see! I sure hope so. In terms of historical significance, everything else pales in comparison; there is no greater rivalry in all of sports. Yet, George Halas and Curly Lambeau were close friends. Halas may be the man ultimately responsible for the Packers surviving and remaining in Green Bay, while Lambeau returned the favor at another time. Link to comment
philbytx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Bears defense v Packer Offense All we can hope for is that Cutler has an "on" day ! Go Bears, shred that cheese !!! Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm sure that God doesn't care about pro football at all. Now college basketball... Link to comment
beemerboy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 All we can hope for is that Cutler has an "on" day ! Go Bears, shred that cheese !!! As a Denver Bronco fan I can tell you that Cutler is waaaay past due for a meltdown. I see three int's or perhaps two with a fumble mixed in tomorrow just for fun....sorry Bears fans. Link to comment
yabadabapal Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The Star Spangled Banner has been sung. The game about to begin. Chicken Soup, pear stuffed croissants with cream cheese, Martinellis apple ciser, Dark chocolate cake. I am ready. Godd Luck Gang. Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sorry Mike, God has foresaken the bears. Link to comment
yabadabapal Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yes it was tough on Chicago. The freezer helped and two interceptions by Greenbay took the game. Looks like its gonna be Pittsburgh and Greenbay. Pennsylvania Steel against Wisconsin Cheese. Gonna be a great game! Link to comment
marcopolo Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 How often does an enormous nose tackle drop back and intercept a pass like that (for a TD no less)? Link to comment

Bud Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How often does an enormous nose tackle drop back and intercept a pass like that (for a TD no less)? There is no God. Oh there is, there is, you just misunderstood the message. But don't feel bad, some religious fanatic, who gives Christianity a bad name, claims the world will end when the Myan calendar runs out soon. He also is wrong. Link to comment
beemerboy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Cutler took a powder and mailed it in. Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune headline: Have his teammates lost confidence in Jay Cutler?? By the way, it's awful quiet here, where are the Bears fans? Link to comment
taylor1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Unfortunatly for the NFC, It is now half time and Pittsburgh is spanking the Jets Go Steelers!!!! Link to comment
yabadabapal Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Now that we know the teams in the superbowl, If any of you are thinking of going, here is some information that you might find helpful. "If you’re lucky enough to be heading to the 2011 Super Bowl to see the Steelers and Packers at Cowboys Stadium at 6:00 PM February 6, well … hopefully you’ve already done your planning. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram points out that parking lots near the stadium are currently selling spots at a remarkable $990 each. And that’s not all you’ll overpay for: hotel rooms in the area are going for three to five times their normal rate. And then there’s the tickets themselves: StubHub has them going for about $3000 for nosebleed seats, and $10,000-$15,000 for really premium ones." So I was thinking that even if all the tickets were 3K and at 60,000 seats, thats a take for the day of about 180,000,000.00 dollars. Then if you own a parking lot of say 200 spaces at 1000 bucks you get almost a quarter of a million dollars for the day. Link to comment
Motodan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How often does an enormous nose tackle drop back and intercept a pass like that (for a TD no less)? May be the guy was too small for QB to see? Since Cutler had to go stand on the sidelines with his "injury" anyway...I wish he'd had hurt it earlier...may be then the Bears would have won. Knees are tricky, they tend to get hurt more easily when one's game isn't going so well. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
tallman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The INT return for what turned out to be the winning points was a local who played HS ball here. Link to comment
Bob Palin Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Aha, so the Superbowl is Feb 6th - at least now I know when Bobadon begins. Link to comment

As a Denver Bronco fan I can tell you that Cutler is waaaay past due for a meltdown. I see three int's or perhaps two with a fumble mixed in tomorrow just for fun....sorry Bears fans. Cutler's stats: six of 14, 80 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions, a 31.8 rating. Not bad, beemerboy, you were only off by one fumble! I wish this site had a "patting himself on the back" smilie!

Not a lot of offensive fireworks from either team. After an impressive opening drive, Rodgers kind of fell apart, too, ending up with 55.4 quarterback rating. Nonetheless, he's an outstanding player and seems destined for a long, successful career. I guess I shouldn't be crying too much. Beforehand, I had told my evil Packer-worshipping friends that I thought Green Bay was the better team and that I just hoped that they'd end up duking it out. The game took some unusual turns, but ultimately it turned out to be a nailbiter for both teams' fans. Congrats to the Pack. Link to comment
