The NFL has to be happy that they didn't schedule the Lions for the Packers this year.
Might not have been a bad way for the Packers to end the year, though.

Hey fellas, I'm putting together a YouTube playlist this week of the top five times the Packers have trolled the Bears in hilarious ways, to send to family and friends (we have fans in both camps). I sent them Chester Marcol a few weeks ago. For this one, I'm including stuff like the Raji pick-six, fourth-and-8, and the goal-line challenge that resulted in a touchback, etc. What would be a lesser-known moment you'd include?
The Packers moving Clay Matthews to inside linebacker after the bye week in 2014 and the Bears having no idea how to adjust to it in a 55-14 drubbing. Also, don't forget about the Smiths putting a stamp on an impactful debut with their combined sack to close the 2019 opener. That was a seminal moment in the LaFleur era.

Looks like the weather should be OK for Sunday. As a former Chicago-area Packer fan, I know that Soldier Field has had difficulty in the past with their turf. Are visiting teams allowed to send "scouts" to the stadium to check things out? Do we know how Chicago's turf has held up this season?
For as much as people talk smack about Soldier Field, it seems to me like the playing surface actually has been better in recent years. At least, that's what Rodgers and vets have been saying. I guess we'll find out Sunday.

Looking back, I'm really thankful that Krys Barnes made it through waivers and chose to sign to the practice squad after final cuts. What previous player do you recall as being your "one that got away"?
A fortnight ago, it was Jumal Rolle. I thought he had a bright future. Rolle had a good start in Houston but didn't have staying power. I really liked Anthony Levine, as well. I thought he had some Jarrett Bush to him…and he's turned out to have a longer career than Jarrett did.

Who is the oldest player to win the MVP?
Tom Brady, in 2017, at 40 years young.

Hello Insider, do you think that it's possible that Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes could be co-MVPs like Brett Favre and Barry Sanders were?
It's possible it ends in a tie. Gil Brandt mentioned before last week's games that you can't rule it out.

Have you watched Rodgers on the "Pat McAfee Show" on every Tuesday this season? I think it's not only great for Packers fans and Pat's ratings, but also good for Aaron who gets to be himself on a media platform. I've heard Bears and Vikings fans even admitting he's a likeable guy because of the show.
Yeah. I've watched all season. First, I like Pat because he's a pro-wrestling guy. But I've genuinely liked their banter. My Tuesdays are also slower this year in the age of COVID-19.

You have snacks. We have snacks. We all have snacks for the playoffs.
Playoff snacks have been ordered but we gotta get snacks here first before we can start enjoying them. But loyal readers know how much I love snacks. Maybe too much. I'm happy to have snacks on the table.

I, for one, am OK with us still chasing our best game yet and furthermore, I'd be OK if we finally put that one on the field for all to see at the very end of the 2020 season! Happy New Year to all!
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am this is my final Insider Inbox of 2020. Good riddance. I know a flip of the calendar won't make tomorrow any different but hope springs eternal and I'm ready for a new year.
