Look at me, look at me!!! Go Pack! Beat the cubbies!Bruce said:Border battles are great and your most heated rivalry is often dictated by geography.
Having said that -- the Vikings have to win a big one before they truely deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with the Packers 12 World Championships or da bears with their 8 opr 9 depending how you count them. No other clubs can make that claim, and the Vikings with their New Orleans like goose egg are still a bunch of wannabees running behind saying "look at me, look at me."

Phil...if you want to go all-time I think 12 world championships trumps 9. 3 Super Bowls tops 1.
One last thing. What is the bears #1 goal this year and every year? To win the George Halas Trophy? Nah....they want a piece of the great Green Bay tradition in there trophy case. They ALL play for the Lombardi Trophy.......ALWAYS remember that!
Hey DePack - you forgot to mention to "our friend, PHIL" the amazing repeat performance in the Sixties by Vince Lombardi - doing what I think has only been done by GREEN BAY - and that's to win three Top Championships in-a-row... Lombardi did it in '65, '66, & '67 -- Papa Bear NEVER pulled that off and he was around an amazingly long time - so watching ol' Vince do it, once again, to the Bears... just as Curly Lambeau had done, back in the day (1929, 1930 & 1931)..
Well, you know that had to hurt.... :beer:
The Bears may be ahead on certain stats and we may be ahead on certain Championships - but let's all remember that without the SOLID friendship of Curly Lambeau & George "Papa Bear" Halas as the years rolled by... neither franchise would have survived. All you have to do is read the History of the Green Bay Packers - and you'll see just how many times those two gents bailed each other out respectively -- from bankruptcy. I haven't looked to see if the Bears have enough pride to print such history on their web site....
I luv to shout.. "da Bears still suck" .... or.... "After further review.."
But I don't HATE the Chicago Bears... not like I do the Vikings.
Certainly, we have several classy Vikings fans here on this Forum...
It's those "other" Vikings fans... you guys know who I mean....
Never have I seen a Team work so hard to emulate the Jerry Jones Cowboys.
Why would anyone want to emulate that sucker.....?
Ya know........ One wonders how things would have worked out ...had Mike Holmgren chosen to stay in Green Bay... instead of the ol' cut-and-run.. I know for a fact we would have been right back in '99, and certainly 2003 would have been waaaay different. Oh well....
Good posts, Bruce - thanks... we ALL needed that.
