Pretty funny...Fox News had a story on their web site touting the Bears vs Green Bay game as "being the oldest rivalry in football". Say what? I put a comment after the story that they needed to check their facts better because the oldest rivalry in football is the Bears vs New York Giants. It was an evil, bitter, angry, rivalry long before the closer proximity of the Packers rivalry ever started.I went back a couple of hours later to see if anyone else commented....The entire story was gone from their web site.
DVD: "CHICAGO BEARS: The Complete History" Produced by Sobol/Reimel (profootballdvd.com)Disc 1, Part 2 "Rivalries"THE BEST NFL produced history of the Bears ever made. Well worth the investment.The Bears actually came from a small team in Downstate IL (Pekin, if I remember right??)Halas initially both played as well as coached the first couple of seasons. The Bears and Giants HATED each other. It was "First City" vs "Second City".

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

pretty funny indeed. easy as wikipedia "The longest consecutive game rivalry (at least one game played in each non-strike season) is between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. It dates back to 1921 and is currently approaching 180 games"
