Well, it's getting started early.

 

This game really will be armageddon. It's going to be pretty amazing.

 

Yeah, I really can't believe this is coming to pass.

A dumb argument about who roots for who or whatever pretty much shows how boring this game is. And now I completely expect a joke making fun of Iowa.

 

I I've always wanted an explanation from the cubs/bulls/hawks/packers combo fan.its weird to me

YES WE GET IT

A fairweather fan would be abandoning the Packers for the Bears.

 

How so? Are you from Wisconsin?

 

So if you say you're a Packers fan, you can all of a sudden just switch allegiances whenever you want? I didn't think it worked that way.

 

I don't know why it's such a big deal that there are Packer fans who are also Cub fans. It was split pretty evenly between Packer and Bear fans when I was growing up.

 

I honestly don't know what to make of you guys. But I admit there are...several...of you out there :)

 

When you're rooting for the Cubs most people around you are actually hostile to your football fandom. And when you're rooting for the Pack, most of your fellow Packer fans hate your baseball fandom.

 

It just would feel very, very weird to me.

 

It's really not too bad. I moved around a lot as a kid, but like I said I was exposed to the Cubs at an early age. So I always liked the Cubs. When we finally settled in Chicago the Bears were awful, and none of my classmates really cared. 2001 was the year when everything changed and people started being hostile towards me during football seasons. I've grown used to it, and now it really doesn't phase me.

 

You've got good reason.

 

My uncle admitted to me that he abandoned the Bears for the Packers, as an adult, because he liked Bart Starr and was pissed at George Halas.

 

I can see drawing down your support for the team when they suck, ala Blackhawks fans, but choosing another team? That's bizarre, and unfathomable, to me.

Pretty much everyone I knew growing up cheered for a team that wasn't even close like the Cowboys, 49ers, Broncos or Dolphins (kind of a weird one but I knew a few Dolphins fans) and now they are now Bears fans. I think that's more annoying than my all Chicago sports team but one thing that I do.
