Re: What to do when a relative is playing for the Bears??

Got the news today. First Pop Warner meeting and my son is on the Bears team.

Have you considered a preseason holdout, and a demand to be traded???

LOL good one!! Where is Rosenhaus when I need him????

Just make sure if you happen to be listening on the 10th that you don't stand up and shout "F'in Bears!!" in the middle of your son's game.

I'm not sure Vince would approve of any of this.

well i think mommy needs to come up with a new "job" that she has on sundays that prevent her from going to the games. then hire a baby sitter to take this bundle of problems to his games

are you married 007? if so. trial separation and insist the father needs to spend more time with the kid (on the weekends). this just has to last for the pop warner season

sure these may be damaging to the kid, but you have to get your priorities straight

I'll take a pass on Durriken!!

My son is a big time Packer fan....but he does have a sense of humor. When the coach announced they are going to be the Bears this year I could feel him staring at me to see my reaction. When I looked at him he was laughing.

GrnBay007:

That's cool ! I was a Packer fan at 12 year's of age. I was first a Milwaukee Brave fan in 1957, and went from that to "the Packers", the first year that we had Lombardi.

Teach your boy "the Packer History" that will certainly help to lock him in as now your facing double jeopardy. Packers-Bears, quite a dilemma.

How does a Lady in Iowa become such a strong Packer fan?

Many lakes in Iowa?

I had sort of the same thing last year. My baseball coach scheduled practices on Sundays at 1:00 and the practices would run for three hours. I skipped two and said I was sick, but I had to go to the others. Later that season I found out he had hurt his leg playing football in high school and suffered a lot of pain in it. Maybe that's why he scheduled games at those times, to get revenge?

of course i think its only fair that we send people to these games to observe what goes on there, and make sure certain members of this site aren't seen wearing anything that has "bears" on it, yell anything like "go bears", or be seen standing near people wearing and yelling those type of horrible things

there are real bears fans..........

(ok ok, we all know there are no real bears fans, let me correct that)

ther are "fair weather" bears fans out there that are just waiting for the chance to take pictures of packer fans cheering for the bears so they can post the pics all over the net and claim packer fans are converting because their team is better

of course the observer would also make sure 007 yells the mandatory 10 "bears still suck" chants during the games in which she watches any team named the bears, play a game

maybe you can take mad's avatar and made a cool t-shirt out of it?

I'm referring to the one of the Packer fan going wee-wee on a bears helmet.

[Scott Campbell]

When you get the team picture, you could always scan it and Photoshop in the Packers colors/logo. Once the season ends, I suggest you carefully remove all evidence from your home that he was once a...............Bear.

Kids these days have so much more to deal with than when we were kids. Hopefully your health plan will cover his counsiling/deprogramming.

007, You live in Iowa, what did you expect? Iowans don't even know that football exists after Saturday. Either they are so happy that the Hawkeyes won that they're hung over til Monday, or they're so depressed that the Hawkeyes lost that they're staring into the barrel of a shotgun contemplating oblivion. Those in denial take their kids to pop warner games.

Well, opening day for the lil Bears. ....if they play, it's raining and supposed to rain all day.

I lucked out this weekend, he plays the early game so we will be home in plenty of time for the Packer game.

He got #50, so he's happy he got Hawks #.....just wrong team.

[Homer Jay]

Good luck to the lil bears, and the Big Pack. Have a great time.

Oh, sorry for your son. But I was rooting against the Bears.
