Summary
Big Sal has something to say about the NFL scheduling the Packers at Soldier Field on Christmas Day. On Netflix. At
noon. Against the Bears.
He's not happy about the disrespect. He's not happy about Ben Johnson's mouth. He's not happy about the league handing
Chicago a national stage after one lucky wild card comeback where the Packers led 21-3 and somehow lost. What he IS
happy about — deliriously, dangerously happy about — is that the NFL just handed Green Bay the perfect stage to shove
that collapse right back down Chicago's throat on the holiest day of the year.
The bears are paper tigers with good timing once. Micah Parsons is in Green Bay now. December 25th, Soldier Field, the
whole country watching. Big Sal is calling it early: that's not a gift for Chicago. That's a setup. Merry Christmas, Ben
Johnson. You earned this one.

| 0:00.0 | Let me tell you something, Pac Nation. |
| 0:13.1 | Christmas Day at Soldier Field on Netflix at noon against these no good, lucky, arrogant bears. Are you kidding me right now? I am sitting here |
| 0:26.6 | in Pestigo and my blood is already boiling hotter than a paper mill furnace in July. Last January, |
| 0:34.6 | these clowns were down 21 to 3 in the wild card round. |
| 0:39.9 | 21 to 3. |

| 0:53.7 | One lucky afternoon and suddenly the entire league lost their minds over these meatballs. |
| 1:00.0 | I am not making this up, Pack Nation. Now what does the NFL do with that pathetic little escape act? |
| 1:07.0 | They look at it and they say, you know what would be perfect? Let us hand these Jaglobs |
| 1:12.1 | to Packers again on Christmas Day in their own building on national television for the whole |
| 1:20.3 | country to watch. December 25th, 2026, noon central, Soja Field, Chicago, the disrespect, the absolute disrespect is off the charts. |
| 1:35.9 | Am I crazy or is this the most arrogant, in-your-face scheduling move anybody has ever seen? |
| 1:43.2 | Ben Johnson, that smug, cocky knucklehead, who jumps straight |
| 1:47.7 | from the lines to running the bears back in January 2025, has been talking sideways about us |
| 1:54.9 | since the minute he got hired. Hostile, Mouty, acting like he already owns the whole NFC North. |
| 2:02.9 | And now the league gives him the Green Bay Packers on Christmas, in his house, on Netflix. |
| 2:11.1 | Oh, that is just perfect. |
| 2:13.2 | What a beautiful early present for the big man. |
| 2:16.9 | These bears are still the same old bears. |
