Kickoff in Five

The pantry is stocked for tonight's game against the Packers. This will be game #185 for this storied rivalry. If you wonder why Bears fans are so passionate about defeating the Green Bay Packers, here are some of the stories:

In October of 1985, in a show of extremely bad hospitality, the Packers put horse manure in the Bears locker room.

In November of 1986, Charles Martin entered the game with a hit list. At the end of a play, he came up to Jim McMahon from behind, body slammed him to the turf and separated McMahon's shoulder ending his season. Martin was suspended for two games.

And I  will never forgive the Packers for one tackle where they grabbed Walter Payton, turned him upside down and spiked him on his head.


Cheeseheads, here's hoping your team's conduct is more sportsmanlike tonight. Sweetness will be watching  along with his friend and ours - the Dream Maker (RIP).
