  Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
Chicago will probably show the offensive line a lot of eight-man fronts all game on first and second downs.
What the Packers would love to do, and should be able to do, is get a lot of one-on-one match-ups on the corners with the wide receivers.
Chicago runs a lot of trap plays, so if they play well, the defense should be able to handle the run.

  Packers dominate in Champaign
Packers defensive coordinator Ed Donatell might have shouted it too as the defense contained the Bears offense through the first half and nabbed three interceptions in the second half.
Yet the Chicago offense managed only seven points in the second half and the Packers were repeatedly in scoring position.
Though the one Chicago touchdown after halftime represents a let-down on the part of the Packers, that score wasn't enough to even give the Bears the necessary momentum to mount a comeback.

 Meatpacking
From the Civil War until the 1920s Chicago was the country's largest meatpacking center and the acknowledged headquarters of the industry.
Packers utilized hides, but blood, bones, and entrails usually went into the nearest body of running water.
Moreover, Chicago packers were preserving meat in tin cans, manufacturing an inexpensive butter substitute called oleomargarine, and, with the help of chemists, turning previously discarded parts of the animals into glue, fertilizer, glycerin, ammonia, and gelatin.

 Roosevelt University - History of Chicago - Module 1 Chapter 3
Chicago, in the period just prior to the Civil War, was fortunate in that its leadership contained men who clearly saw the advantages of the technological developments in transportation that were taking place in the first half of the 19th century.
Chicago's location on the Great Lakes system and the willingness of Chicagoans to take a chance on new modes of transportation such as canals, turnpikes, plank roads, and finally the railroad insured her position in the upper Midwest and her dominance over a great trading area.
Chicago's development as a meat center was advanced by the development of the refrigerated railroad car, whose development made possible the long distance shipment of meat without spoilage.

 The Packers' Corner
Sunday night's regular-season finale between the Bears and Packers was billed as a possible farewell appearance by the quarterback who's teased, tormented and torpedoed Chicago hopes for 15 years running.
Chicago has tried 20 different starters at the position since Favre turned up in Green Bay in 1992, and it's likely all of them combined couldn't have accomplished what Favre did with a young team that started 1-4 and still has more holes than available thumbs to plug them.
Packer fans, meanwhile, would serenade Favre from the moment he sets foot back in Green Bay, and keep it up until he said yes.

 United States 28 May 2003 Federal District Court (Chicago Prime Packers, Inc. v. Northam Food Trading Co., et al.)
Chicago Prime and Nationwide contest Northam's assertion that the ribs inspected by Inspector Ward and Dr. Maltby were the ribs delivered by Brown Brothers to Beacon.
Northam and Chicago Prime have filed cross-motions for summary judgment on Count I. Northam alleges that it is not obligated to pay for the ribs because they failed to conform with the contract by virtue of being spoiled at the time they were delivered.
Chicago Prime's central argument is that "[a] one-month delay in the revocation of acceptance of a perishable commodity such as meat must be considered, as a matter of law, inherently unreasonable.

 meatpackers strike
They employed the Chicago Federation of Labor, the Chicago Socialist Party, local churches, and the "Stock Yards Aid Society", which attempted to raise $100,000 to aid the strike.(Halpern 37) The strikers had the support of the public, without which, they would most likely not have been able to hold out as long as they did.
The packers, however, were processing 34,000 fewer cattle, 25,000 fewer hogs, and 47,000 fewer sheep than they were just one year earlier.("Cost of Strike" 1) They also lost nearly $6,250,000 in revenue.("Strike Ended" 3) Despite these losses, the packers were the largest beneficiaries of the strike.
Their only meaningful gain was that the packers agreed to treat the laborers fairly and run the plants more evenly the six days they were open.
