Green Bay vs. Chicago: Familiarity Breeds Contempt, Even in Sabretooth Tigers

In a world of assassins and mutants, everyone has a moniker, a special power, a hidden motive, but when two people meet, having shared a divisional bed, real names are used and their are no disguises to be worn or charades to be played. Sabretooth becomes Victor Creed, and Mystique can not help to hide that she is nothing more than a blue-faced whore despite her efforts to shape shift into something less noticeable and grotesque.

Today, when Clay Matthews stalks the likes of Jay Cutler, the act will be done with an emotion that is one half love and one half hate, and the vicious hits will come with a kiss that feels a lot like death. But don't be surprised if the result of such combustible personalities and dramatic stakes results in something quite ordinary, like when they last met and the score was a pedestrian 10 to 3. The great irony of two mutants mating is that their offspring is often born into this world as ordinary and vile as a Graydon Creed, a man whose only super power is to be cold-hearted and human. And, because their meetings often turn into stubborn genetics that cannot evolve into something grander, is it any wonder then that the Packers and Bears speak their pillow talk under the sound of a howling, bitter wind, off the shores of Lake Michigan?
