Same thing happens here in Toledo, not only are Cleveland and Detroit closer but so are Cincinnati, Indy and Chicago. Yet Steeler fans are EVERYWHERE, according to Facebook data the #1 team here. Although I don’t think that’s actually true, they’re at worst a strong 3rd behind the Browns and Lions.

Oh come on, I for one enjoy being reminded of 9/11 when I’m watching a ballgame on a summer Sunday afternoon.

James Jones and Greg Jennings think Joe Philbin has made undeserved millions thanks to working with Aaron Rodgers.

+1. You must live in the Midwest. Gray winter/brown spring is like being in the fucking Soviet Union during World War II.

The Packers have gotten more close calls in their favor than not over the past 20 years, but yeah.

I thought I was the only Packer fan rooting for the Bears to beat the Seahawks. Seattle going down to fucking CLAUSEN would be great, and every Bears win gives them a shittier draft pick. Fox is capable of keeping the Bears treading in the happy hills between 6-10 and 8-8 for a few years.

So much great music came out of Seattle, Macklemore notwithstanding, and what to the Seahawks play when raising a championship banner? Bittersweet Fucking Symphony.

Well, to be fair, pretty much every Packers season but two since 1994 has been either a Super Bowl win or ended with an absolute DICKPUNCH playoff loss.

Oh god, yes. NOBODY IN WISCONSIN EVER EXCEEDS THE SPEED LIMIT. EVER. I guess we should just be happy the speed limit is 65 on its freeways, if it was 25 everybody would go 25. I deal regularly with Michigan drivers who usually go either 50 or 110 on the freeway, and I still feel my blood pressure rising when I drive…

I’m long gone from Chicagoland, but +1 on Indiana’s stupid inferiority complex/attempt to raid IL for jobs and people. Yeah, a lot of people have left southern Cook County for northwest Indiana in the past 15 years...white people scared of the black BARBARIAN HORDES from Chicago “overrunning” the south suburbs but not…

In the state? Never been to East Chicago or Hammond, I take it.

I’m not entirely sure if Dayton is better than Gary. You aren’t an hour or less from the fun parts of Chicago in Dayton.

I live in Toledo, but that sounds about right. Even though Yuengling’s been in Ohio for almost four years, order ANYTHING besides Bud Light and Budweiser and you get a strange look. Seriously. There are craft breweries all over the state and Cincinnati even has the old regional Hudepohl-Schoenling beers that somehow…

“Lincoln’s Boyhood Home” is part of the stupid Hoosier inferiority complex towards Illinois in general and Chicago in particular. “Durr if Lincoln had GROWN UP in Illinois he’d be a godless commonist who would’ve forced everybody in America to join one of them there unions! Don’t go within 60 miles of Chicago or…

Manning did waste a lot of his career being stuck with mediocre coaches, besides Dungy. Mora, Caldwell (it says a lot about how inept the Lions have been for so long that Caldwell was viewed as a savior in Detroit), Fox and now Kubiak.

He IS done. Drew nailed it, Peyton 2015=Favre 2010. It’s only a matter of WHEN his arm falls off/he gets concussed for the last time.

If I were a Bronco fan I would hope it’s early in the season so at least you get a high draft pick.

You know, you’re not wrong. The average radio-only sports guy makes Dan Le Batard look like Channing Tatum.

Even though I’m at the opposite end of the country from Texas, we have a lot of Cowboys fans here because the two local teams have both been consistently awful since the Bush I administration. I’m a Packer fan. Hence, I’ve heard EIGHT. MONTHS. OF. WHINING. about how “DURRR THAT WAS A CATCH WE SHOULD’VE BEAT Y’ALL”…

Yeah, you’re right. I typed “white person from Baltimore” at first but that’s kind of an oxymoron.

I’m glad I grew up far from Maryland. If I had seen Mr. Boh as a kid I would’ve had nightmares about it. It’s like the Pringles chips logo and a one-eyed Minion decided to go back in time and fuck.
