Once again, God has reached down from heaven and blessed his chosen team, the Chicago Bears. In what can only be described as a Biblical contest between Good (Bears) and Evil (Packers), the NFC championship is set for next Sunday.
The Sea Hawks chili was a hit (though quite hot) and the Bloody Marys followed freely at the Turley house.
One of my best friends is a Packer’s fan and witnessed the event. We are now set for a historic moment — the ultimate blood feud between the Bears and Packers.

Rafflaw,
I am a huge Packers fan and have been for years and years because they are “publicly owned” … if the Bears were playing anyone but the Browns or Packers they would have my cheers.
However, the Bears, as the second oldest team in the NFL have always engendered my affection. I will be cheering for the Packers but not against the Bears … if that makes sense. Whichever team wins I would like them to tromp the hell out of the Steelers who have always been a bunch of whining crybabies!
Blouise,
How could you not pick Da Bears???
Terry,
Glad to have another Lion’s fan aboard! What did you think of Suh’s rookie season? I’m currently enjoying wintertime in Hockeytown in Michigan for the first time in a decade – how about the Mule’s goal in OT yesterday?
p.s. Watch for the LIONS in next years playoffs. Until then, it’s wintertime in Hockeytown. Go WINGS!
LIONS fan here. Despise the Packers. GO BEARS!!
Elaine,
The Patriots ruined my streak … they were awful today
Is it permitted to say Go Packers?
Anonymously Yours

Steelers and the Packers….
====================================
Yep … that’s my pick
So who do you see winning that contest?
Gyges,
The Seahawks haven’t been fun to watch since they had Jim Zorn and Steve Largent – they might not have been very good, but they sure were exciting…
Well, goodnight all – I’m going to go tend to the massive soup project with pot pie parley (and some gratuitous marinated cucumbers) that has engulfed my kitchen…
Professor,
*sigh* Because it was you that offered…
I think the Bears balanced offense is going to be a problem for the Green Bay D and on the other side of the ball the lack of a running game (Green Bay’s atrophied running attack makes Forte look like Sweetness) is will cause huge problems against the Bears D and Urlacher (who I believe is a throwback from a former time obtained via the illicit use of time travel…) is going to have a field day. Bears 28, Packers 17.
Go Bears!
*sigh*
It’s certainly nice to have a matchup from the NFC Norris Division in the championship game – and I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that the two teams with outdoor stadia are playing while the two teams with domes (or at least the two teams that started the season with domes) are sitting at home…
Note to all y’all for next season and beyond: That growl just at the edge of your hearing is the sound of Ndamukong Suh’s roar as he rips your quarterback’s head off echoing back from the future and Stafford and Johnson are destined to be as prolific a tandem as Montana and Rice or Marino and Duper or Bradshaw and Swann. It’s been over 50 years, but the Lions are coming back, baby!
p.s. Let’s not even talk about the Tigers… Hockey Anyone?
Steelers and the Packers….
Any time the Seahawks loose, it makes me happy.
After living through the whining that took place for 2 years after their Superbowl attempt.
Also, If your chili was Spicy, in no way is it associated with Seattle.
Slartibartfast,
Don’t let JT sucker you in. 🙂

Swarthmore Mom,
The Bears are going to remind Mr. Rodgers that he is in the wrong Neighborhood!
Congratulations rafflaw. My brother in law is really mad because my sister sold their tickets for today’s and next week’s game. Aaron Rodgers looks good.
Da Bears get to smack the Packers on their way to the Super Bowl!! Even though it is cold here in Chicago, it seemed alot warmer after the Bears Victory!
Slartibartfast:
I take it as such. You are welcome to join your Bear brethren for the remainder of the season . . . after all Lions, Tigers and Bears are often linked.
The Goddess of the heavenly kingdom looked down upon Gillette Stadium today and flipped the Patriots the bird. Boy! Did they ever stink today!!!
I meant that in the nicest possible way, of course! 😉
Professor Turley,
As a Lions fan, you have my eternal jealous ire (well, at least until Detroit wins the Super Bowl…)
