Great stuff. Also a nice look back some work of Wisconsin native, the late Chris Farley. R.I.P.

And this is the reason why you should just pay attention to your own teams shortcomings.
Have you listened to the radio this morning in Packerland? The fans are going crazy.
I like Doug and the Radio personalities in regards to chicago sports because they try their best to avoid the Kool-aid. They are supposed to be pissed and talk about the Bears when they lose as well as when they win, but still make serious mistakes.
On the other hand when I listen to the Packers talk radio they always make up excuses why something happened instead of laying the blame where it should be, on the players and coaches.

Your not a fair weather fan just because you talk about your team when they are screwing up. Thats like saying you are not a patriot just because you dont support the President views.

Obviously you didn't listen to the postgame last night. Bill Michaels tore Bob Sanders and Mike Stock absolutely apart. Ripped them to shreds.

That's pretty much it. The simple fact is that the Bears, Vikings and Packers all have enough talent to play some fantastic football, but all are inconsistent to the point of embarrassing themselves at times. Hard to say why that is, but I tend to think inconsistent teams are that way because of coaching. Whether it be limitations in their fundamental schemes, practice formats, game plans, during game adjustments, ability to motivate and instruct, something causes the wide swings we see in some teams' performances.

The Packers have epitomized that the last three weeks. An embarrassing performance by the offense in Minnesota, a great performance by both against Chicago, and now the defense being embarrassed in New Orleans.

Nothing wrong with fans being displeased with lackluster performances.

I sort of enjoy listening to Buffone. He can be emotional, but for the most part seems to be objective in what he says. He can be very critical of Urlacher, for example, because he is not a top effort performer every game, every year.

I agree with you about Doug. He doesnt bite his tongue on any players..lol.
And Briggs has been the best player on defense by far this year. He is the rarity in the sense of a player getting a fat contract and actually playing up to it!

I was referring to this comment

Having lived in both places, I can say that Bear fans are, or at least were much more fair weather than Packer fans. I lived in the Chicago area until 1996. We used to laugh at how quickly Bear fans would turn on the Bears with boos if things weren't going well. We were always glad that Bear fans weren't as loyal as Packer fans because we saw quite a few Packer games on Chicago TV because the Bear game was blacked out in the Chicago area due to non-sellouts. Don't know if that still happens.

I just noticed...when in the hell was a Bears game ever blacked out beyond the 60's?! Some people just make up crap as they go along to support their nonsense.

"Prior to 1973, all games were blacked out in their city of origin regardless of whether they were sold out. This policy, dating back to the NFL's emerging years on television, resulted in home-city blackouts that even extended to championship games. For instance, the 1958 "Greatest Game Ever Played" between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants was not available on TV to New York fans despite the fact that tickets were out of reach to most. For years, Giants fans would migrate to Connecticut motel rooms every home weekend where they could watch the games beamed on Hartford/New Haven's CBS affiliate WTIC (Channel 3). Similarly, all Super Bowl games prior to Super Bowl VII were blacked out in the host city's market." --wikipedia.org
Yeah, I guess all NFL fans are fair weather fans then..Good god your NFL knowledge sucks.
