Walking into Lambeau yields a certain reverence.  The echoes of Curly Lambeau, Don Hutson, Reggie White, Bar Starr – hell, Donald Driver  seem to encompass the atmosphere.  Then you see the disgusting green and gold.  Have these people ever seen a color wheel?  Probably not given half of them didn’t pass the fifth grade.  Fetal alcohol syndrome will take a toll over the generations.                 Jokes aside, the real frustration begins when you see those marquee lights ov

My friend Mr. Griffin asked me recently what my beef was with Aaron Rodgers. This was a fair question. Although I "grew up" a Bears fan, I didn't really watch them.

Just like the timing of my blogs, the Chicago Bears continue to be consistent in one key area this season: being inconsistent. I don't fully understand what is going on, but there hasn't been much progression since before the Commanders game. Sure we squeaked out a win against them and then beat the Saints (oh boy! W e beat Spencer Rattler who no longer starts), but there really hasn't been much improvement. Writing down my thoughts for the last two games has been tough.
