Yesterday, I spent my afternoon at Soldier Field watching the pathetic Green Bay Packers take on the only slightly better Chicago Bears. (How is that team 9-3?) There isn't much good I can say about the action on the field. The Bears' offense was absolutely pathetic and, unfortunately, the Packer offense was a little bit worse. I understand that the Bears have a great defense, but Brett Favre did not look like the future Hall of Famer that we have come to know and love. I hate to say it but we might just have a better chance at winning with someone else at the helm. (I understand that what I just said is blasphemy but I can't help it.)
I did have a good time sitting in the stands, however, listening to the Packers and Bears fans jaw at each other for three hours. Additionally, with conditions so frigid, my beer stayed cold and frosty.
It is a real shame that the Packers have come to this. Too many injuries plus some bad front office decisions over the past three years have finally cost the Packers. The real bad thing is that the Packers couldn't have done more to surround Favre with more talent in his sunset years. I guess one Super Bowl is better than nothing.
On the bright side, maybe the State of Wisconsin will start paying a little more attention to the rapidly improving Brewers and surprising Bucks!
