Packers Tear Bears' Pride Down
The Bears vs. Packers is one of the oldest and most hateful rivalries in all of the NFL. So, it was no surprise that the matchup received the media coverage that it saw this Sunday. With the Packers having a rough start in Week 1 against the Vikings, and the Bears taking down a solid 49ers squad, many thought this game could be a good one. Boy, were we wrong. Aaron Rodgers and company did what they always do, completely humiliate the Bears organization. Not much more to say than that, the score speaks for itself.
Chicago Sun-Times is a notable print media outlet that generates well-respected sports analytics. They produce weekly team rankings of the top high school programs in the state of Illinois. Their Week 5 Top 25 Rankings were quite interesting, inviting former state champs Joliet Catholic into the Top 10. They still head the list with powerhouses Mount Carmel and Loyola Academy. Prospect crept in at six after a huge upset over Maine South.
