Haha! That's pretty cool. As much as I'm not supposed to say this as a Packer fan, the Bears are a good franchise to follow. Admittedly the last five years have been pretty uneventful for you guys, but all teams have their peaks and valleys.
We're kicking serious ass right now, but eventually we'll be back to how we were five years ago.

up until the NFC title game I never had any hate in my heart for the Packers because the 2 teams were never any good at the same time during my fandom.
Now, I'd be lying if I said that I wish your team well in their undefeated quest.
Montreal has fired their coach, appointed the assistant coach as interim for the rest of the season.
Looks like the straw that broke the camel's back was benching the young Quebec native, Louis Leblanc, after he scored his first NHL goal (to a standing ovation from the crowd).
He only saw 50 seconds of ice time in the 3rd period.

In my area, the Yankees are hated because of the bandwagon fans, the fact they overspend and grab every free agent whether it's a team need or not (I have no issue with this), and the arrogance of the franchise/fans.
Maybe if there was one team in town it would be more favorable towards the Yanks, but there's 2 and there used to be 3. The Mets have only owned the city during the mid-late 80's in my lifetime. Back then it was all Mets.
I should also add that I grew up in north Jersey. I live in about an hour south now and down here there is also the Phillies fans because we get the Philadelphia tv stations.
Being impressed by Stanford. Not only are they proficient in coalescing the vapor of Human experience into a viable and logical comprehension, but they can run the freakin' ball too!
Oklahoma State is not too shabby, either.
Keep watch on Justin Blackmon, wide receiver for the 'boys. Going to make some money in the NFL.
Bengals @ Houston
Bengals, I gotta go with the upset here, I do not trust the Texans QB TJ Yates. I think there is a very good chance that either Jake Delhomme or Jeff Garcia who are the backups in Houston actually finish the game.
Lions @ Saints
I wanna say the Lions but Saints got this. They're at home, Lions can't stop the pass, if the backup QB for the Packers threw for 6 TD on them last week, Brees is gonna rape that D.
Atlanta @ New York
Everything is saying Giants here, I mean Falcons are a dome team, road games are always though, but I think Eli's gonna show his old self and throw more INT than TD, Falcons win.
Steelers @ the Denver Tebows
This is the easiest game to call, no doubt in my mind the Steelers destroy the Denver Tebows. This is a good ass team and what happens when Denver faces a good ass team, they lose.
Not having Mendenhall isn't really that big of a deal, Steelers aren't a running team, especially this season. Big Ben has been here before, has won here before, I'm not worried about him not being 100%, the bigger issue is Von Miller being hurt and not 100% than Big Ben.
Denver got really lucky, they got hot and won 6 in a row vs. shitty teams, well it's the playoffs, no more shitty teams.
I'm a Giants fan, but Eli Manning is having a terrible season
3rd highest completion percentage of his career at 61.0%
Has thrown for 4,933 yards his best ever by almost 1000
His highest avg per pass at 8.38
29 TD, his second best year ever
16 INT, 4th lowest of his career
92.9 passer rating, second highest of his career
I'm not sure why you think he's having an awful year.

Haven't had much to smile about in Habsland, having gone 1-5 during the December road trip, but this victory was a good one. Hopefully, they keep playing like this for the rest of the season.
Lars Eller (Centre, #81) got 4 goals in a 7-3 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets. First hat trick at home since Cammalleri in 2009 vs Bruins (Centenary game), first 4 goal night at home since 1993 (at the Montreal Forum)

They're facing the Pats next, even if they lose I won't be able to escape all the Tebow love, so sick of this guy already.
And the funny thing is I'm not really even sure why I can't stand him.
