8 reasons for Chicago Bears fans to hate the Green Bay Packers
By Todd Welter
Fans think they own the team.
You got a fanbase that thinks it is a badge of honor to have a piece of paper hanging in their basement.
They call it a certificate of ownership. I call it the most expensive piece of paper.
Packers stock has no dividend, is unable to be traded for a profit, and provides no other ownership benefits besides attending a shareholders meeting at Lambeau Field.
That is not called owning something. That is called a donation, and some might consider it being scammed.
The wealthy folks on the board of directors are the ones running the scam with Mark Murphy as the front man.
Not winning enough Super Bowls with Favre and Rodgers.
The Packers boast of having two consecutive Hall of Fame starting quarterbacks yet managed to win just two Super Bowls with them. Eli Manning has the same amount of Super Bowl wins and he beat the Packers to get to one of them.
Heck, Rex Grossman has the same amount of NFC Championship Game victories as Aaron Rodgers. Plus, Grossman is undefeated.
They had not one, but two generational quarterbacks and won the bare minimum of championships. Nick Foles has the same number of Super Bowl rings as Favre and Rodgers.
They also boast about how they have most NFL Championships, but conveniently neglect most of those titles came in the 1960s.
The only good thing about the Packers ever winning the Super Bowl is it forces their fan base to update their wardrobe.
While the Chicago Bears cannot claim a lot of playoff glory lately, neither can the Packers.
Death, taxes, and the Packers losing in the most gut-wrenching fashion possible in the postseason are the only guarantees in life.
Ask a Packers fan about 4th and 26, Brandon Bostick, or the time Favre threw to the only player covered in overtime during the 2007 NFC Championship Game.
Jimmy Garappolo once beat the Packers in the NFC Championship Game by only completing six passes. Randy Moss figuratively mooned the crowd on his way towards helping eliminated the Pack.
Yes, winning is winning, but if the Chicago Bears beat the Packers in the final regular season game of the 2010 season, there is no Packers Super Bowl win that year. So, you’re welcome Green Bay.
This franchise thinks playing in conditions fit for a polar bear gives them some sort of mythical playoff advantage. Yet, San Francisco and Tampa Bay walked into historic Lambeau Field like they owned the place.
Don Majikowski’s foot was over the line.
There is a reason replay had to go away. It got the call wrong on November 5th, 1989 at Lambeau.
Thankfully it is back and way better than what it was in the 1980s.
It did take four minutes for the replay official to make one of the worst overturns in replay history.
Somehow the booth thought the Majik Man’s foot was behind the line of scrimmage when he completed the game-winning touchdown pass to snap Green Bay’s four-year losing streak to the Chicago Bears.
The replay booth had to have taken the money line on the Pack that day because that is the only reason the Bears were robbed of a victory.
