I even attended the 2-0 Bears preseason win over the Packers in County Stadium back in 1971 when the only score was when Packer QB Frank Patrick stepped out of the back of the end zone for the only points in the game. I've seen games where the best team on the field won, and other games where the best team didn't win. I was there when Charles Martin hit McMahon so late that it embarrassed all of us as Packer fans. I've seen so much. I've seen Halas and Lombardi meet on the sidelines and hug each other and smile at each other like brothers, because in a sense, the Bears and Packers are joined at the hip in this league more than any other teams.What I'll never understand is how fans on either side of the aisle will be outrageously biased in favor of their team that they'll look past the facts, and the realities of the games. The best fans, on both sides, smile at each other, and when they meet in the hallways of a motel or hotel in Green Bay and Chicago, they exchange "best of luck, hope it's a clean game with no injuries," comments with each other.For fans to posture like banty hens and roosters, as if they control the barn yard is just plain ridiculous. The rivalry is played out on the field, not by posturing fans.But that's just my opinion. What would I know. I'm not a banty rooster.</blockquote>
