11. Bears Ruin Favre Night, Trick Fans Into Thinking They’re For Real

Fri, Nov 27, 2015

Well, they did it.  Just when I officially conceded the season was over, the Bears went out and won again.  A big one.  On Thanksgiving.  In Prime Time.  During a nationally televised game.  Against the 1st place Packers.  At Lambeau Field.  On Brett Fahrvergnügen Night.  With A-A-Ron Rodgers playing.  And Bart Starr in a golf cart.  And Clay Matthews’s golden hair (and his lack of a neck).  And with this upset, we made Rodgers discount double-check himself, we ruined everyone from Wisconsin’s Thanksgiving, and we put ourselves back in the playoff conversation.  And not that I have factual evidence to support it, but I think Rodgers was pissed at all the love GB was showing Favre.  And how appropriate that we won by 4 when they put Favre’s #4 up on the Lambeau facade, and they put his “#1” up on the big screen.
