Being a fan is
an odd business. Inevitably, there comes
a point when you end up rooting for some very bad players and against some very
good ones. Just ask any White Sox fan.
I found myself
acting this very same way on Sunday. The
Bears had an early-season bye, so I rode my exercyle to the Lions-Packers’
game. Why I hate Aaron Rodgers so much,
I can’t say for sure. Maybe it’s the
fact that Rodgers has a 16-4career record against the Bears with just under
1,000 touchdown passes—Exaggeration? If
so, not by much—or that Rodgers represents everything Bears’ have rarely if ever
been. Your choice. Whatever the reason, I probably got the bike
going 10 mph faster each of the two times Rodgers was stripped-sacked.
The Lions won,
31-23, mostly because Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby missed four field-goal
attempts. I would’ve preferred four
Rodgers’ pick-sixes, but it’ll do. I
have in-laws who bleed Packers’ green and yellow. Sorry, no can do. Just call me an odd Bears’ fan. A quarter of the way through the season and
the Monsters of the Midway lead the NFC.
Take that,
Cheeseheads.
