It will never be phased out because this game is REALLY about the NFL giving a reward to the players and mostly their FAMILIES. It's not about the game, it's all about fun for the players families in Hawaii.

Oh I'm fine eh. Is it true that you were once a Bears fan and have turned to a Packer fan?
Correction...I was raised to blindly follow the Bears but never really followed football at all. Once I made a point to get into the game and understand it, I realized that the Packers were my team. It's kinda like being raised with certain religious beliefs and as you get older you understand that it was all a bunch of bullhonky!

anyways...yes, i have been a Bears fann since i started watching football.
my family was not a sports family so i had to make my own way in life....
and given the options on TV....browns, lions, bears, colts....which would you pick as a kid.
Packers radio network!
AH-HA!!! SO!! you were not always a Bears fan then! You can't call me a fraud anymore...I never watched football before I got into it either except for the times I was taken to Bears games - and then I was so young I had no idea what the hell was going on. Once I started watching and getting into football I chose the Pack. How is that different?

You didn't pick the Colts??? Eric Dickerson, Duane Bickett, Jeff Herod ... so many greats to choose from! ... :(
Yeah, it was tough to follow them back then. I had to constantly reset history by winning the Tecmo Bowl with them approximately 564 times ... which wasn't easy considering Jack Trudeau lobbed wounded ducks and I was stuck with a copy that had Albert Bentley instead of Eric Dickerson at RB. :evil:
81, you once called me a "reverse fraud" because I'm from Dallas and not a Cowboys fan. And the #1 Bears fan is from Ohio? I oughta come over there and beat you senseless with my cheesehead.
Now choose a side
it's a tough choice

You are Chicago born and raised!!! You cannot like the Packers...that's a rule to live by!!!

To be honest I could really give a crap about baseball. But if the Cubs were to go all the way, I'd be happy for people like my grandpa that have been waiting for 80 years!

Maybe if Jay Cutler was as competitive as Rodgers the Bears would actually make the playoffs.
If Jay Cutler was the one who said it then the OP never would have started this thread :roll: I get hating a team and it's players because of the rivalry but hating everything that comes out of their mouth just because it's them that says it is just dumb......for example if Rodgers would have said the exact opposite, that the players shouldn't try so hard in case they get injured, we would still have this thread with the same exact title just because Rodgers said it.......................My opinion on the topic is that he should have kept his mouth shut, honestly, he's right for the most part but that doesn't mean it was a smart thing to say. Odds are that he thought the same thing 2 years ago when he started but he didn't say anything like that probably because he was more humble then, now that he's one of the top dogs he thinks he can say whatever he wants. Hopefully watching someone else raise the Lombardi trophy over their head this Sunday will bring him back to earth a little bit.

Rodgers is a doucher, but the Pro Bowl was pretty pathetic. Even more than usual. The only way it's ever gonna change is if few enough people watch it that big sponsors pull out and it loses it's tv deal.
Honestly though, I don't see why they can't put a little more effort into it. There's already several rule changes that make the Pro Bowl safer.
The effort is relative to the amount of money these guys get. Give them bigger bonuses for making it and winning it, and have some sort of insurance for the player and team in place if someone suffers a big injury.

Packers games always came through on TMJ...I fail to see your point and you didn't answer my question :!:

I'm just messing with ya....I think.
As a meathead Bears fan, I just can't imagine anyone from Chicago becoming a Packers fan...whether you grew up on sports or not.
That's just because you haven't yet seen the light. :P
technically....detroit is closer to my hometown.
Do you think he would want to play for the Bills?
To be honest I could really give a crap about baseball. But if the Cubs were to go all the way, I'd be happy for people like my grandpa that have been waiting for 80 years!
You're BAACKK!!!
I was on a camping trip to Alaska.
I was very cold and lonely.
I hope you didn't leave your helmet there - you're going to need it for the first annual dwarf tossing event!
I'm still so confused how I became the dwarf?
