Look, I’m not going to lie to you.
I’m not excited about yet another Bears-Packers game. I know I’m not alone.
Whatever animosity or hatred I’m supposed to hold for Green Bay in the sports sense has, over time, become more of a tempered indifference. Again, I know I’m not alone.
As they have been for years, the Packers are one of pro football’s premier marquee franchises. They’re who the NFL sells and launders its product through. They mean everything to the powers that be.
The charter franchise Bears, on the other hand, are an afterthought.
