Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Packernet Podcast. I'm your host and resident fanalyst. As always, Ryan

Shlip, check us out online Packernet.com. Find me on Twitter, Pack pack underscore daddy. So we've got a good amount of

ground to cover today. We got Packers news and notes and whatnot. We got the injury report

to talk about. And there was a bigger topic that I wanted to discuss that we will discuss.

But I don't know. I was, I was real

fired up about it earlier. That was a long time ago. I did Packer Night After Dark, was able to

blow off a little bit of steam. I don't know. We'll, we'll see. It may not be as big of an issue

as I kind of thought it was. But obviously, the biggest thing we have to talk about the Bears, we got to get started on that. It's a weird position to be in, because usually I just like making fun of the Bears, and that's good enough for me. I'll just make fun of them all day. But, you know, we got to actually take them seriously as an NFL team and opponent and whatnot coming up to actually look at their team and all that boring crap. It's not boring. I actually find it interesting. Hopefully you do. That's kind of the point. It's not really what I find interesting necessarily. Just saying it's an odd position to be in, but hopefully we can get right back to making fun of the Bears after this week. We obviously have a little bit extra time so we can take our time with it. But for now,

we've got to actually just address the team for what it is. I guess we'll start with the big hubbub

and just get that over with. So I started hearing this a little bit, and I didn't really think

anything of it. I thought it was just kind of a something somebody said, just one of those random

theories or whatever. But apparently it's grown into a major thing. And I've noticed that this

happens quite a bit, that something will pop up and then everybody will just jump on board with

it. And that's the case here. Somebody just made somewhat of a random arbitrary claim. In this case,

I think the actual originator of it was Tausher, who played for the Green Bay Packers.

I don't know. I didn't go seek it out. I didn't hear what he actually said. But from what

people have been telling me, that was sort of the origination of this notion. It's the first time it ever grew up. And now it's

ballooning into this massive thing. And the funny thing is how people look at it and they're just

like, well, everybody knows now. Like this is just a thing everybody knows. And it's like, good Lord,

people. I just, I don't know. I hate to use the word sheep, but I don't know what else to call it. I mean, when people can just make things up out of thin air and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's reality now. Like, that's crazy to me. And I'm not going at Tauscher because I don't even know what he said

necessarily and he potentially made a good point. I don't know. And I don't really want to

reference the other person that, uh, wrote an article because I don't want it to be like a big thing.
