Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast.

I am your host and resident fanalyst, as always, Ryan Schlipp.

Check us out online, packernet.com.

Find me on Twitter pack underscore dat. I got to be honest, man.

People from Detroit warned us. People like JJ and several other callers and other people that you may know from Detroit, they warned us about this.

I said several times on the show, you know, people in Michigan, they don't like

Lions fans, but I just, I don't see them anywhere. I don't interact with them. So I can't be

mad at them. You know what I mean? Like, I just, I don't know. I don't see him lurking around in

dark corners when the, when the Packers lose. I don't see Lions fans flocking. I don't see any of that. I see mostly Bears fans, and a lot of it has to do with who I interact with. I don't see a lot of Vikings fans either because I don't interact with them. I spent so much time over the last two years talking trash about Justin Fields that the algorithm is like, this guy's a big Bears guy right here. He wants to see Bears people. He needs, and they interact with him. Like, he must be a part of that community. So I just, I just didn't see it. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do. You know, part of this whole rivalry thing. I mean, I understand intellectually. Like, for years, it's like most Packer fans viewed the Vikings as big

rivals. I'm like, it's true. Bears fans freaking annoy me. It's just something that burns in

your soul. You know, when I say, hey, hate the 49ers. That started way back, like I said,

in the Kaepernick days. That was, that was, that whole crew hated the Packers and the packers hated them and they were

violent and they were vicious and they beat the crap out of us and i didn't like it the rival with

the 49ers kind of continued because they kept beating us but it's not as heated you know what i mean

it's a little bit it's a little bit heated um go pack go the F home is what Kittles said.

So, you know, whatever. But also, I mean, like I pointed out, our record, at least in the regular season against

them, it hasn't been that big of a thing.

I think Matt LaFleur is ahead by multiple games, if I'm not mistaken.

I know postseason is the most important, but it's just, it's not, it's losing a little bit of its luster, and it's a team that's on the down swing, and everybody's talking bad about them, and Shanahan's got to go, which I think is silly, but maybe it's not, because I don't know. We're at the point where we're making fun of them. You know, Bears fans, slightly insufferable, but for the most part, they're just, they're so beaten down. Vikings fans are, like I said, they remind me a Packers fans. It doesn't matter how good things get. They're always complaining. I mean, there's some optimist for sure. You know, Sam Darnold is going to be elite and all this stuff. But it's just,

it's hard to get a big group of them talking a lot of trash

because they're too busy talking trash about their own team.

But I have been introduced to Lions fans.
