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?   :confused:

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.   :lol
They were talking about the 1941 playoff game between the two teams

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".   

In Decatur, IL

Decatur Staleys
Name of the car dealership that sponsored the team
Halas played both ways and was the Head coach

I hope not, I'm going to the AFC Championship Game.

GO STEELERS!
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

Then Wiki needs to consult the NFL because they are the one that produced the documentary on it.

If your talking about detail accuracy I bet NFL trumps Wiki.
