I haven't seen anything that I dislike about Matt LaFleur.

Oh, that sounds familiar.

Seeking, like, a logical explanation for what feels like the directed ire from Ben Johnson to Matt LaFleur.

Yeah.

Matt LeFleur's initial reaction is, we went so deep into the season without a Bears-Packers game.

So the Bears season could really have this major arc to it.

The Packers season could ride these waves.

And then we finally got that.

What was the first matchup?

Was it like week 14 or something?

When they finally met in the regular season and they saw each other two out of three weeks.

And...

Everything leading into that final first time where Ben Johnson was going to be on the opposite sideline from Matt LaFleur was about Ben Johnson's comments from the opening press conference about enjoying beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.

And it did seem odd, not in just sort of highlighting the rivalry, but the fact that you had an incoming head coach, a first-time head coach with no experience as a head coach, name-checking,

The head coach himself, he didn't say, like, I really enjoyed beating the Packers twice a year, and I'm going to do that again when I'm representing the Bears against the Packers.

He said Matt LaFleur.

You hear the Kill Bill music, like, when the bride is there and the screen turns red, and it's like, oh, you're the one who wronged me in the past.

Wee!

Some people wait 20 years to say things publicly.

Past tense or present tense?
