* The Question: What will be the final score in Sunday’s big game?

* Bonus Question: What’s the best trash talk you’ve heard about the Cheesehead team or its home state this week? Make sure to keep it clean, people. But have fun and, of course, Go Bears!

    Most of the good stuff I have heard would probably get me kicked off the board.

    Bears 24-21. A packer fans favorite reading material: Fishing Facts, Tractor Manuals, Beer bottle labels.


  8. - Irish - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:13 am:

    Packers - 31 Bears - 24

    Offensive line can’t protect Jay in the third quarter, he tries to scramble for yardage like he did in the Seattle game but the Packers aren’t the Hawks and he gets popped.

    Best trash talk - Chicago HU?


  9. - soccermom - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:15 am:

    MikeMacD — Perhaps you’d be more comfortable over here

    The wind chill at Soldier Field is -21 degrees. That’s the temperture at which cheese freezes.

    a: I’ll take Shakespeare for a thousand Alex.

  13. - MikeMacD - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:19 am:

  15. - K3 - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:23 am:

    Bears 14, Packers 13. Old fashioned defensive battle!

    Packers get stopped in red zone three times and kick field goals, Bears score last in final two minutes


  18. - Rich Miller - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:26 am:

    A Bears fan leans over to the guy next to him at a bar and asks: “Wanna hear a joke about Packer fans?”

    The guy next to him replies: “Well before you tell that joke you should know something. I’m 6′ tall and 220 pounds and I’m a Packer fan. The guy sitting next to me is 6′2″ tall, 240 pounds and he’s a Packer fan, and the guy sitting next ot him is 6′5″ 280 pounds and he’s a Packer fan too.

    “Now, do you still wanna tell that joke?”

    The Bears fan replies: “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it three times.”


  19. - I don't want to live in Teabagistan - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:28 am:

    Q: what is the most difficult decision a Packer fan has to make when attending a wedding?

    A: Whether to wear the green “home” jersey or the white “away” jersey.


  20. - Irish - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:28 am:

    lol Rich.


  21. - I don't want to live in Teabagistan - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:29 am:

    A legal question:

    If you get married in Wisconsin, and move to Illinois and get divorced, are you still brother and sister?


  22. - 44 - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:33 am:

    Cheesehead Governor Scott Walker’s “Escape to Wisconsin” campaign has generated a lot of buzz in parts of Illinois. This is aided by the fact that “Escape to Wisconsin” was already a familiar slogan around Tamms, Statesville and 26th and California. 

    14-13 Bears!


  23. - bw - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:41 am:

    here you go Irish

    21-14 Bears


  25. - dupage dan - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:51 am:

    Great joke, Rich!

    Packers win, 13-10.

    An old joke about the Packers from the Forrest Gregg years is that the Packers had a great record, 15 arrests and no convictions.

    GOPACKGO!


  26. - Statewide - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 11:53 am:

    Bears 23 - Pack 20, after Packers slowed by a free halftime locker room all-you-can-eat Chicago-style deep dish pizza buffet.


  27. - Jake From Elwood - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:01 pm:

    Green Bay will win it 27 to 17.
    Fans will call for the firing of Lovie and/or Angelo within minutes of the end of the game.

    Now is not a time for cheesy humor. My stomach is already in knots. Sad, isn’t it?


  28. - Irish - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:11 pm:

    bw @11:41 - awesome!! thanks, That’s probably the best laugh I’ve had in a couple of days. I am going to share that with a couple of cousins. Have a great weekend!!


  29. - Anonymous - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:18 pm:

    Best line (but dated) came from Dan Hampton back when many Packer players were always in some kind of trouble with the law. “If you want to know whats going on with the Packers, just keep your police scanner on….”


  30. - Anonymous - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:20 pm:

    Bears 28 Pack 7 (Julie Peppers knocks Rodgers out early).


  31. - Tell it like it is... - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:27 pm:

    23-20 Bears

    Packer colors green(mold) and yellow (cheese)= moldy funky Green Bay Cheese Packers…..


  32. - Pittsburgh - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:28 pm:

    Steeler fans smile while we root for the Bears. We would like a sure thing.


  33. - Amuzing Myself - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:31 pm:

    Not a fan of either team:

    Packers 31
    Bears 13


  34. - dave - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 12:43 pm:

    Bears win - 27-23

    A teacher tells her class that she’s a Packers fan. The class agrees with her except 1 little girl. When asked who she likes the girl said the Bears, the teacher asked why and the girl said, “Because my mommy & daddy are Bear fans.” The teacher replies, “That’s no reason to like them, what if your dad was an idiot and your mom was a moron, then what would you be?” The little girl replied back, “A Packers Fan.”


  35. - Moved To Missouri (f/k/a/ Vote Quimby!) - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:09 pm:

    Da Bears 34
    Packers 17

    unless Martz continues his obsession with the “wildcat” formation…which, to my recollection, has contributed nothing positive all year. I’ve worried all year his ego will cost the team…hopefully not this week. Go Bears!


  36. - Lefty Lefty - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:09 pm:

    It has been said that the British army wore red coats so that, if they
    were shot, their opponent would not be able to tell that they were
    bleeding. I guess that explains why the Packers wear yellow pants.

    Bears win a squeaker 24-20.


  37. - Palatine - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:16 pm:

    I was going to order JJ for half time, but now that he’s gone it’s Papa J for me


  38. - Honest Abe - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:20 pm:

    Network television’s worst nightmare:

    Super Bowl XLV : Pittsburgh Steelers v. Green Bay Packers (Dallas, TX).


  39. - Bring Back Boone's - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:26 pm:

    Bears- 30-17

    A Vikings Fan, Packers Fan, and a Bears fan all climb up a mountain. To prove his loyalty to the Vikings their fan shouts “this is for the Vikings” and jumps off the mountain. The Bears fan then exclaims “this is for the Bears” and promptly pushes the Packers fan off the cliff.


  40. - jerry 101 - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:42 pm:

    Bears 407, team from up north -10.

    Go Bears!

    I can’t say what the best trash talk I’ve heard all week is. This is a family website.


  41. - Scott Fawell's Cellmate - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 1:45 pm:

    True Story:

    A local radio station in Green Bay had a rally last weekend and a Packers fan died during the pie eating contest.

    The cow kicked him in the head.


  42. - Former Merit Comp Slave - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:02 pm:

    Game too close to call - it will come down to who has the most turnovers.
    A Bears fan, a Packers fan and a Seahawks fan are climbing a mountain arguing about who loves their team more. The Seahawks fan says he is the most loyal. “This is for the Seahawks”, he yells and jumps off the side of the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Bears fan is next to profess love of his team. He yells, “This is for the Bears!” and pushes the Packer fan off the mountain.


  43. - Muskrat - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:04 pm:

    It’s not a prediction, but I’d like to see the Bears win 2-0.


  44. - Former Merit Comp Slave - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:04 pm:

    Whoops sorry for the repeat, didn’t see the first one


  45. - The KQ - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:13 pm:

    Q: What’s the difference between a Wisconsin divorce and a tornado?
    A: Nothing, either way, someone is going to lose a trailer.


  46. - BIG R. PH - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:30 pm:

    NFC Champioship score this year:
    Packers 31-Former Rams Coaches 10

    NFC Championship score next year:
    Rams 28- Eagles 14

    GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!


  47. - Holdingontomywallet - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 2:49 pm:

    Packers 34, Bears 18. Now if Ditka was the coach, Bears win 65 to 3. If Ditka was playing, Bears 124, Packers 2!


  48. - Wensicia - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 3:36 pm:

    Bears 24 - 17

    Q: Why is it a good idea to bring a Packer fan along to a Bears game?
    A: You can park in the handicap zone.


  49. - 47th Ward - Friday, Jan 21, 11 @ 4:13 pm:

    Not sure who will win, but I like the under. A lot. It’s at 43.5 today, and I’m guessing this game will be like the last time these two played, lots of ugliness and tough defense.

    Bet the under. Take it to the bank.

    Go Bears.
