[USML Announce] FAAB update - 8/09 p.m. update (urgent)

[Jeff Winick]

Just what one would expect from the fans up North. We here on the  
north side of Chicago root for the teams and the players we like and  
leave the hating to those who don't have much to root for.

I have no problem with Favre now that he's out of the division. And I  
now have less of a problem with The Pack because they should suck. And  
I have nothing but love for the Packers management which has clearly  
been infiltrated by Bears fans.

Go CUBS!!!!

1-0 Cubs, Top of 3rd from the Friendly Confines.
