Ive wondered that before, too. Maybe the real team name is the Bay Buccaneers? LOL

Reminds me of a joke... a little boy, dressed as a pirate for Halloween knocks on a door. A man answers the door and the little pirate says "trick or treat!" The man says "what are you dressed as"? The boy responds "Im a pirate!" The man asks "if youre a pirate, where are your buccaneers?" The boy stands there for a second and says "theyre under my buckin' hat!"

Sorry, bad joke, I know.

I am replused by the thought of any Bear fan (especially those who were born/grew up in the Chicago area) cheering for the Packers. This is something that should not exist.Most everyone in Wisconsin were cheering for the Colts in the Superbowl last year. For that alone, the Packer fans do not deserve our support.

I actually have a friend that wants the Pack to make it to the Super Bowl so they could beat the Pats. I want the Pats to lose as much as most of the rest of the country, but not to Brett Favre and the Pack. Disgusting.


Disclaimer: I am a die-hard Detroit Lions fan.

Although I am not from your area, I agree altogether with you. I live in Northern MI and in my town there are ton of on again/off again Packers fans around depending on the Pack's current prestige. Wisconsin is about equal distance as Detroit from my town so people are "idiots" for not being real fans and not bandwagon jumpers.

I am going to **** someone off with this next statement. Bandwagon jumping happened when the Tigers recently became "better" a couple years ago. Although I'm sure most Tigers fans supported them before, but every one has a D hat now.....look around.


I will support the Lions til I'm gone because I am a true fan. Wearin' Honolulu Blue and always stayin' true...

I feel your pain. The same garbage happened here when the White Sux beat Houston in the WS. All of a sudden everyone was sporting Sux apparel.
