With under a minute to go, Caleb Hanie threw an interception on fourth down, and with a kneeldown, the Packers sealed their 21-14 victory in the NFC Championship game. They now head to the Super Bowl and will face the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers beat the New York Jets 24-19 tonight in the AFC title game.
In the week leading up to this afternoon’s Bears-Packers game, we heard all the hype about the greatest rivalry ever, about families split over allegiances, that tickets will be goshawful expensive, and that the weather will be cold. Not to mention all kinds of other stories that have something to do with this “Game of the Century.”
The Packers got off to a quick start on the game’s first possession, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers completing passes with ease before running it in himself to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead.
Green Bay continued to control field position through much of the first quarter and turned it into another score, this time on a short run by running back James Starks. That made it 14-0.
The Packers dominated the first half, with the Bear offense struggling and the Bear defense on its heels.
And the second half doesn’t look much better. The Bears escaped one Packer threat with a Brian Urlacher interception, but quarterback Jay Cutler is hurt and Todd Collins is on to replace him.

I”ve been known to make a grammatical faux pas here and there from time to time, but please be aware that this headline is no mistake.
I was trying to find something entertaining, but intellectual, informative, yet stimulating and I ran across this story.
The first thing to run across my mind was disbelief. The second was the goosebumps that ran down my arm and back when I thought of all the potential HIV cases this could be.
Frayser High School in Memphis, Tn., is staring down the barrel of a situation that has ramifications much more far reaching than I believe these girls ever imagined.
The lives of these girls as well as the educational system in Memphis is in a state of emergency. (more…)
A longtime bookkeeper for a small Chicago machinery company embezzled more than $1.5 million from the business and gambled most of it away on high-end slot machines at Indiana casinos, Cook County authorities charged Thursday.
The 41/2-year string of thefts by Julie Nowaczyk nearly forced ENR General Machining Co. into bankruptcy, said Assistant State’s Attorney Nicholas Trutenko.
When the company’s owners confronted her last summer, Nowaczyk admitted the thefts and said she had spent all the money. “You don’t have the problems I have,” prosecutors quoted her as saying.
Nowaczyk lost more than $1.4 million gambling at three northwest Indiana casinos, mostly on slot machines costing $25 to $50 a pull, authorities said.
The owners, brothers Richard and Eugene Szydlo, took out mortgages on their homes and put up their own savings to meet payroll and make up for 401(k) payments to employees that Nowaczyk pocketed, according to prosecutors.
“They are distressed that this has really, really hurt their business,” Trutenko said. “Even with the mortgages and putting in their own money, the

Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki has turned his back on his beloved Chicago Bears in the name of deep dish pizza.
He is betting against them for Sunday’s NFC championship game with the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. Listecki is a Chicago native and life-long Bears fan. He bet Chicago Archbishop Cardinal Francis George a cheese basket if the Bears win.
If the Packers win, George will send Listecki a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
Wisconsin-based Sargento Foods Inc. — the official cheese of Lambeau Field — has offered the cheese.
Archdiocese spokeswoman Gillian Lester-George says Listecki loves deep dish pizza and has also started to like the Packers.
Gov. Pat Quinn and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker have placed their bets on Sunday’s game, and the loser will have to volunteer at a food pantry in the winner’s state.
