The Bears are the long time rival of my Green Bay Packers. The longest rivalry in NFL history, I think it’s something that’s great for the game. Although the Packers have won their fair share of games against the Bears, that shouldn’t overshadow what the Bears also mean to the NFL

The bears are a terrible football team and they will never be as good as the Packers. This rivalry has been going on for a long time. Everyone who is a sports fan knows that the Packers will always be better than the bears and it’s not a debate. Thanks. GO PACK.

Chicago is home to a bunch of my favorite teams rivals, but I think the rivals are great for sports, it makes them much more fun to watch. The Bears and the Packers have the oldest and one of the best rivalries in sports, they’re always my favorite games to watch!

I’m not a big sports fan at all and quite frankly don’t know anything about the teams. I really liked this post and the depth you went into the history!
