My favorite teams
I never knew there were more like me. Here is my PigWig Den. It's not done yet, but if I get that produce mister and dairy case for my birthday, I will update these pix.

My favorite teams
You responded to my saying having an emotional investment in the Bears is leading to issues, so I asked the question. It seems pretty clear that you know where I'm going with my line of thinking.

No, they already have enough of those guys out there. Just instead of "tailgaters" we call them "drunken bums".
They are both obnoxious and smell bad, but instead of offering me undercooked chicken...they just want my money.

Sellouts.
As a hardcore Dominick's Loyalist...I am offended by these posts.

Ultimately we finance the team, and become emotionally and time invested as well. I say go for the "we" and ignore the haters.

real talk (and RIP dominicks)... we have gone to pete's fresh market and even cermak fresh market and I am convinced that they are all under the mariano's umbrella, but the ball and chain doesn't believe me. Thoughts?

Interesting. When we tailgate, we're basically "bumming it" for a day. Drinking and cooking off a fire set inside a 55 gallon drum, but we use chicken instead of stray cats.

I'm more annoyed by people who get annoyed when other people use the term 'we' when talking about their favorite team. It's not hard to understand why the term'we' is used. At its basics....a team represents a city or region.... like the Bears here in Chicago. When people say 'we' its in the context that they are also Chicagoans who the Bears represent.... so things the Bears do...whether they win or lose...make a particular draft decision or free agent signing......... a person would say 'we' won,etc... in the context of the city the Bears represent.... they are the Chicago Bears.... and if you are citizen of Chicago or just a fan... the inclination is to say 'we'.

LOL at this. I don't think even Robbie Gould could afford to shop regularly at Fresh Market. I need my cheese to cost less than $11, thank you.

okay, but what if you are CRM114, and live in Woodfield Mall? Personally, I don't consider that Chicago. I consider that Ikea Country.

Pete's I believe is.
Cermak is part of a local chain of locally owned Fresh Markets. Mine is Morse Fresh Market. If those are "under the umbrella"...that parent company would be furious with the prices I am getting.

I think there is some disconnect here because my Fresh Market was selling things like Boars Head turkey for six bucks a pound and Eggland's Best eggs for $1.99. Both products double at the Jewel just a mile north.
