Fatman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) It doesn't seem like there is much of a rivalry these days between the four teams in the Norris Division, so I think it is necessary to bring back the NFC North Challenge for a third year. As a reminder, the challenge is: A sigline bet based on the regular season finish of the NFC North. Tiebreakers being head to head, division record and conference record. Each team that finishes above you gets to give a sigline. Say the finish was: GB 16-0 Chi 3-13 Min 2-14 Det 0-16 GB would give a sigline to Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit. Chicago would give a sig to Minnesota and Detroit. Minnesota would give a sig to Detroit. Detroit, again, would be pathetic. Siglines would have to be somewhat short, say two lines or less, to make sure that there was room to cram everything in for the Detroit fans. Sigs will be worn from the start of the playoffs through the Super Bowl. Last year's finish was: Packers - Fatman, piratesownninjas, Swiss Cheezhead, Sturphy, Men In Tights, GhostFace, Big John, Randall Vikes - Hugh 0ne, Outshined, Mystykoekaki, Moss6, Yukon Cornelius, Cap'n Grunge, alexgaddis, Savage Beatings, T-Scorp Lions - Chief, Puddy, Egret Bears - URLACHERisGOD, Goopster24, rocknrobn26, darin3, Wolverines Fan, Pope Flick Sigs given: Pack To MN - The Vikes - graciously hiring Brad Childress before the Pack could interview him. Thanks again! To DET - We have been waiting only half as long as the Cubs for a championship. To CHI - Da Bears - still around only because the Packers loaned them money to make payroll in 1933. Vikes To Det - We will win ten 10 games, but it will take 2 years. To CHI - If only we had a defense and a QB as good as the Vikings Lions To CHI - From the Superbowl one year to being swept by the Lions the next. So what does 2008 hold for us? Last year saw a changing of the guard as Lions fans finally had someone to look down upon. Can they carry that momentum into bigger and better things in 2008? Probably not but, hey, it was fun while it lasted, right? Can the Bears prove that quarterback play is the most overrated job in professional sports? Will the Vikings be able to communicate properly with TJax after removing all electronic communication devices from the facility? And can the Packers do anything else to convince the shareholders of the only publicly-owned football team to sell to an ownership group in Mexico? So, who's in? CHI - TheShiznit, rocknrobn26, darin3, Ice717, seminoles DET - Puddy, Chief, Egret, policyvote GB - Fatman, Big John, Randall, Chavez, Sturphy, piratesownninjas, Men In Tights MIN - CaP'N GRuNGe, T-Scorp, Moss6, Savage Beatings, alexgaddis, Hugh 0ne, Outshined, Mystykoekaki, Delicious_bass Vikes give the sigs: Pack: McCarthy Shows his true coaching ability without Favre. I wish the Packers would have signed Childress before the Vikings did. Lions: "I am a Lions Fan and I am off to see the Wizard about a whole lot more than just courage..." Bears: Not even Ditka could get my Bears team into the playoffs. Pack gives: Lions: Reminding Green Bay Packer fans that things could always be much, much worse.

Randall Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think I saw them on TV at Lambeau Stadium chanting, "BRING FAVRE BACK, BRING FAVRE BACK!" All 50 Vikings fans in Favre spamshirts were chanting while inside Lambeau TT and McCarthy got standing ovations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Normally I don't do this, but I can't let GB's fan total be as pathetic as it is right now. Especially since the Vikes are a good team that is missing a passing offense and passing defense. Not the way to win divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
