Stu offers up today's talker: Who do you, Vikings fan, root for this evening? (Meteor made out of bird flu is not an option.)
It's a fair question.
We're inclined to say you are a Bears fan if you are a Vikings fan, seeing as how the Packers seem like a more legitimate threat and a 3-0 Green Bay start (particularly with a win in Chicago) would be more damaging to the Vikings than a 3-0 Bears start.
Then again, the Bears (as noted by Clarence Swamptown) do have the feel of starting one of their annoying 13-3 seasons built on smoke and mirrors. Maybe it's better to knock them down a peg early?
Your thoughts, please, in the comments.
