I've sat here and read all of these comments and it's absolutely ridiculous. First of all, saying that someone is a "typical Bears fan" because he's a jerk is ridiculous. I know a lot of great people who are Bears fans. In fact, the majority of Bears fans I know are nice people. I am a huge fan of the Packer. They are my favorite sports team, PERIOD, but I know a lot of Packers fans who are very mean spirited and are complete jerks.
Yes, if you go to a game to see your favorite team at an opposing team's stadium, you are going to get heckled. Packer fans are just as guilty of this as Bear fans. But using Katrina to make a quick joke is so wrong. What if someone held up a sign at the Super Bowl making some lame joke about Tank Johnson's dead body guard? Or someone making a joke about Favre's dad at the game after he died? It be sickening.
I'm all for the usual ribbing between Packer and Bear fans, and I'm sure I'm going to be made fun of for "sticking up for Bears fans". Doesn't matter. I'm a football fan. I'm going to tell you if you're defense is horrible, but I'm also going to expect it back when my wide receiver sucks. But at least it's about football, and not about a horrible natural disaster that took lots of lives and changed many more.

Excellent post. People are people. The idiots that put up the Katrina signs are just that - idiots. Doesn't matter who they are rooting for.
The saints played how many teams on the road and how many opposing fans held up a sign like that??? Is it just a wild coincidence that it happens for the first time at soldier field???

You are never going to convince them of that here man.
They have a thousand and one ready-made excuses for the Packers players and their fans.
They will ignore every fact and twist every comment into what ever makes it sound like they have a monopoly on being a better fan of the NFL or a better human being than any one who does not wear a Packer jersey.
It is this constant self-admiration that makes Packers fans hated and made fun of by so many people.
Get over yourselves!

irony?

Ok.
I will not come back here till after the Super Bowl and let's see if the whole "if you say black then I say white" routine has died down.
Deal?

Hahahahaaaa...
Now it has gone from New Orleans to Tony Dungy.
I guess that there will be a “Saint” in the Super Bowl after all eh?
"Tony Dungy. His *** smells like fresh cut flowers"
"Tony Dungy. He can urinate champagne.... already chilled"
"Tony Dungy. The man who single handedly cured cancer, AIDS and ended apartheid"
Let me remind you about Tony Dungy and 2006.
A lot of people, especially around Indianapolis, felt that if he did not take the Colts to the Super Bowl this year then he was done in Indianapolis.
They felt that he could not take the Colts to the next level and that is why he was fired in Tampa Bay.
After a great start they struggled the 2nd half of the season and were embarrassed a couple of times. They even lost to Houston and Tennessee and lost 3 of their last 5.
They stumbled into the playoffs and there were real concerns that they would not beat K.C. at home.
Now you want to fit Tony Dungy for a halo, give him the noble peace prize and bury him next to Abraham Lincoln when he dies... no, IF he dies!
Why not appoint him as Vice-Pope or something.
You did not give a damn about Tony Dungy two weeks ago and you know it.
This is a real footbal game, not a life time achievement award for Tony Dungy.
The comment and sign at the Bears game was not mine. I was not at the game nor was I on TV.
You asked what I thought about it and I told you that this was making a big deal out of it.
Suddenly it is me who peed in the Holy Grail or something. I am sure that if I started a thread with the heading "Obnoxious Packer fans" than you would have had plenty to say about it.
Instead of complaining about the situation here and blaming someone else for it why don't you get up from the computer and write a check to the city of New Orleans?
I know that it will be difficult to sign it while you are so busy patting yourselves on the back all the time but just give it a try for once. :thumbsup:
