[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 33376, member: 196"] [b]Re: Speaking of da bears: Halas may be papa, but Brett is da[/b] Are you kidding? Packer fans never forget history nor their 12 World Championships. If you are 50 years old Phil, the Packers have won the Packers have played for 7 World Championships to da bears 1 in that span. da bears and the Packers are the two riches franchises in the history of football, so if you want to talk history with Packer fans you better eat your Wheaties first. But out of deference for da bears great season, I did pull a pre Favre tilt that I'm sure you remember this one: Pictures that tell great stories: This one tell a story of the day that time stood still… … at least it did for somewhere between 4 and 5 minutes on a gray and dreary Sunday afternoon at Lambeau field for Packer players, coaches diehard Packer fans who wanted to beat da bears so badly that they could taste it. Yes, a picture tells a thousand stories, and this one is no exception…[img]http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/packer/img/insider/oct02/3majkowski89.jpg[/img]…but a series of pictures closely scrutinized by head official Bill Parkinson was the prelude to the picture above. It is easy to forget that the Packers led 7-3, at halftime. Because Chicago’s Kevin Butler's second field goal of the day and a 2-yard run by Brad Muster had given the Bears a 13-7 lead after three quarters. Packer hopes kept getting dashed in the 4th quarter as: · Green Bay had the ball first-and-10 at the Chicago 20 when Majkowski, looking to pass, had the ball knocked loose when he was sacked by linebacker John Roper. Linebacker Ron Rivera fell on the football for Chicago. · Or on the next series, after a 67-yard pass from Majkowski to Brent Fullwood moved the ball to the Chicago 23-yard line. Two plays later, Majkowski saw Sharpe open in the end zone. But he didn't see Rivera, who intercepted the ball at the 10 to stop another would-be scoring drive. · Or with 4:00 left when Majkowski had a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage. Bears tackle Steve McMichael leaped to grab the easy interception, but tight end Ed West wrestled the ball away and the Packers maintained possession. · Or with 1:26 left in the game and Green Bay on the Chicago 7-yard line. Again, Majkowski had the ball knocked loose by Roper. It lay untouched on the ground for several seconds before Green Bay center Blair Bush fell on it. "I fell like I was moving in slow motion," Bush said. But Bush's play kept the drive and the dream of beating the Bears alive. Refusing to quit, while trailing, 13-7, the Pack had the ball at Chicago's 14-yard line, facing fourth and goal. Quarterback Don Majkowski, the Majik Man, broke from the pocket and perilously closed in on the line of scrimmage just as he delivered the ball to wide receiver Sterling Sharpe in the middle of the field, maybe 2 yards deep in the end zone, for an apparent touchdown with only 32 seconds remaining. The stands and Packer fans everywhere went wild. But wait a minute. There was a flag on the opposite side of the field. Jim Quirk, the line judge, had called a penalty on Majkowski for crossing the line of scrimmage. The final decision would be left to replay official Bill Parkinson. For nearly 5 minutes he reviewed the play with the outcome of the game hanging in the balance and nearly everyone in Lambeau Field standing in stunned silence or buzzing about the consequences. [img]http://images.sportsnetwork.com/football/nfl/allsport/instant_replay.jpg[/img] Finally, the verdict was announced. The call on the field was overturned and all that separated the Packers from victory was a Chris Jacke extra point. Suddenly, all those pent up emotions that Packers fans had been harboring for years exploded into one long, thunderous cheer. Jacke converted and the Packers owned a 14-13 victory over the Bears, one of their most dramatic in pro football's most storied rivalry. The game is still referred to as the “Instant Replay Game.†[/QUOTE]
