Storm Rider:
Also Alex, I think the Bengals still have the Vikings beat for sleaziest team in the NFL, just when you consider the cumulative number of felons they've employed for the past decade.
Reed:
My roommate is a really big seahawks fan, so I gave him so much shit for it on sunday.
It was great.
Storm Rider:
It wasn't even fucking close, either. Seattle had one decent drive the entire game, capped off by that lame little 1-yard TD flip. I fucking love Patrick Willis, hands-down the best thing to come out of the Nolan era. Not that he had a whole lot of competition, but hey.
scarred:
Seattle needs to revamp themselves, seriously. They've got no one anymore, especially since Hasselbeck has what, a fractured rib now? I live here, and I can't wait to wear my Bears colors around next weekend when Cutler/Forte/Knox come to town and destroy babies.
--- Quote from: Alex C on 21 Sep 2009, 19:53 ---I love how Bears and Vikings fans can come together in mutual distaste for cheeseheads. That's why I thought it was kinda funny when when some idiot writer at ESPN said that the only thing that could have been worse than Favre going to the Vikings would have been if Favre went to the Bears. Clearly, he doesn't understand the midwest. I know that Bears-Packers is the oldest rivalry in football and all, but at the same time, at least the Packers fans tend to have a grudging respect for Chicago due to their shared history. I think if Favre had gone to the Bears somehow, Packers fans would have been super depressed and secretly worried about how the season would play out.
But Favre going to the Vikings? I know Packer fans who reacted like they found out their mom just hooked up with Ron Jeremy. It's just disgust and horror.
--- End quote ---
That's true. The rivalries are very different, between all the teams in our division really. Packers-Bears are two of the oldest teams in the league and have an epic, heartbreaking, riot-enducing rivalry to match. The Bears/Vikings rivalry is more like two brothers duking it out for funsies. Ffrom what I know, whereas Bears fans respect the Packers, Vikings fans just outright hate them. And I think that sparks a lot of mutual bad feelings between both those teams, and could lead to more ill-feeling about their ex-star QB going over to them.
That being said, when I was watching the Bears-Packers season opener last weekend, I saw a helluva lot of cheese heads wearing the number "4," so who knows. It could be a very vocal minority that is horrified by the purple Favre is wearing, and the rest of the fans could just not care / had been desensitized by the Jets thing.
JD:
I don't care about sports at all.
