[CBFF] Packers week

[Dwayne]

Cool article.

In Brian nobles book, he discusses his worst moment of his career, and it
was the Packer/Bear game in 86. Noble recalls how the game was tremendously
hard hitting,, and he himself had smacked around #9(who he tremendously
disliked) twice. The was a lot of thrash talking between Noble, and our
punky QB.
The Pack had just forced a fumble, went down and scored, and took a 2 point
lead with 67 seconds left.(guessing around that amount). The Bears had no
time outs remaining, and all of Packerdom was going crazy. History shows the
Bears drove down the field, and Buthead kicked a 52 yarder with no time on
the clock to win the game.

Nobles worst moment?
Quote "After the kick went in, I looked over at the Bears sideline and
everyone was jumping around except one guy, and the was #9, and he was calmy
staring at me holding(giving) me the finger."

Lets go Bears!
The season is not done!
The Pack must not win!
