the bears dont have more players that have a name for themselves and last year all the media talked about was the bears. they just dont think we are that good but thats fine by me because it will be funny when they all feel stupid.

We don't have any big-name, high-profile talent besides Favre, Woodson, and maybe AJ Hawk, who isn't even our best LB this season. People love to hear about guys they're already familiar with, and there not that familiar with Jennings, Jones, Grant, Donald Lee, Pickett, Kampman, Bigby etc.
When these guys start putting up some big numbers year in and year out, we'll get plenty of media-love.
Of course they aren't. Besides Favre, Driver and Kampman no one outside Packers fans know who most of these guys are. Jennings is making a name for himself and Grant is starting to step up. But when you have a team full of guys who no one knows and teams with big names of course they're gonna give them more attention.
It's all about the entertainment and ratings in the end. With a team full of guys that haven't made a name for themselves yet people wont be as drawn... just yet. Lets just keep winning and leave all the off field antics to the NFL celebrities while we grow stronger and better as a team.
Just my 2 cents.
