The Bernstein Brief: Reveling In Packers' Collapse Is Bad Look
By Dan Bernstein-

(CBS) Just because the Packers choked away a Super Bowl appearance, it doesn't mean the Bears are good.
To hear it from the airwaves and see it on social media, however, the lowest levels of Bears fandom are taking pride in Green Bay's bad day to the point of wanting to revel publicly in schadenfreude.
It's a bad look. And it's stupid.
The Packers are the model for the Bears more than any rival, as new general manager Ryan Pace said when he was introduced. As long as Aaron Rodgers is there, the Bears are chasing whatever they're doing. Fans of a terrible team confronting a massive rebuild are in no place to grave-dance after an NFC championship game of which they can only dream.
The joy of John Fox's hiring notwithstanding, even a miserable Packers fan is in a much better place today.
