Umpire scores 2 points on linebacker take down.
Cincy Jungle —
... What happens when a 232-pound linebacker with over 600 career tackles gets wrestled to the ground by a referee? A grievance. No, seriously. It's nothing to take on a 300-pound lineman looking to take you out. It's nothing to collide with a running back with both going at full speed. An umpire takes a linebacker to the ground. Laughable. Reminds me of that beer commercial where the defense huddles up with one player promising a beer if they get to the quarterback -- or stop the play. Whatever. Then the ref, overhearing the bet in the huddle, takes out the quarterback on his own. ...

Packers vs. Bears
mvn.com 12/23/2007 — The weather was expected to be a major factor when the two oldest teams in the NFL renewed their rivalry, but no one could have foreseen not only horrible weather but special teams play by the Packers that made the weather look beautiful. The Bears were going for a season sweep and the Packers were looking to keep pace with the Cowboys for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Ref Jim Quirk Tackles Packers' Nick Barnett — FanHouse
The oddest thing that happened at Soldier Field during Sunday's Bears beatdown of the Packers (other than, you know, a bad team blowing out a good team) was this tackle-from-behind that the umpire, Jim Quirk, put on Packers linebacker Nick Barnett: Quirk thought Barnett was about to get in a fight with a Bears player, so he grabbed him from behind around the neck and wrestled him to the ...

defense could not slow the Packers, with Green Bay scoring touchdowns on their ...

The Rivalry Defrosted — Nationalsportsreview.com Blogs
For almost a decade now, if you were to approach a Packer fan about football and comment on the ages-long rivalry with the Bears, many of them especially the younger generation would retort that the Vikings were a much more hated villain these days than the cuddly Bears, whom half-god/half-man Brett Favre would smite with ease. This made sense, for while the Bears and Packers still hated ...

Week 16 Mutterings — MVN Outsider
Normally, I find it hard to write anything bad about the Packers. Today, it’s easy. Cold, blustery winter weather aside, that game was a sham. How often does a team just go out and give up like that? Minus one brilliant run by Ryan Grant, that was a pretty sad attempt at a game. The Packers are 12-1 vs. the NFL, but 0-2 vs. the Bears. I don’t get it.
How miserable is Jon Ryan going ...
Packers' Defensive Line a Mess — FanHouse
The Packers' pathetic performance at Soldier Field yesterday has been attributed mostly to the inability of quarterback Brett Favre and punter Jon Ryan to manage the winds in Chicago.

Packers Shut Out of #1 NFC Seed After 35-7 Loss to Bears — Packers Gab

It was a frustrating day for the Packers, who not only were beaten as badly as at any point this season, but ...
