Well the bears packers rivalry trumps anything we have going between either team so we are kind of stuck. Not sure who outside the division we would better pair with.
I would say that whatever rivalry was there 30 years ago is irrelevant.
Lol, go to Chicago or Green Bay and tell them that rivalry is irrelevant. Eastern Wisconsin doesn't give a shit about the Vikings, all they care about is beating the bears and winning the division, the Vikings like the lions are just another obstacle.
Packer fans on that Twitter thread disagree.

Let me know when they start singing songs about their dislike of the Vikings. Its not lions fans that sing "the bears still suck" from the top of their lungs.

The Lions just might be a quality rival, albeit not a historic one, this year if they continue to ascend.
Was going to say, they picked the two best teams and the two worst teams so the games might be competitive.

Why, do the cheese heads sing songs about the Vikings on twitter?
How many cheese heads you follow on Twitter?
All I can say is after spending week in eastern sconni this summer, they definitely hate the Fibs and the bears more than anything and don't really give a shit about the Vikings unless it happens to be the game that week. Thier hatred of the bears is a year around affair for those folks.
Maybe in the Vince Lombardi era, but over the past 30 years Vikings Packers is a way bigger rivalry than Packers Bears. I don't even see how this is close.

Must be a East Wisconsin geographical oddity, because the Packers Vikings chatter is pretty constant on Twitter and I honestly don't remember Bears fans contributing to it much at all. I'm sure a lot of Packer fans still hate the Bears, but I can't imagine why. But whatevs...not like this matters more than a hill'a yeller snowballs.

Well, there is the ownership dispute over the Bears.

from what I understand eastern and to some extent northern sconni is the play ground for the money folk from Chicago, aka the FIBs ( Fucking Illinois Bastards) I suspect a lot of the hatred goes back generations and likely stems from much more than football results.

I have to agree, seeing as how I've lived in southern Wisconsin for 23 years now and think I can speak with some authority on the subject, being surrounded by cheeseheads all of this time.
When they say "Oh the Bears are who we *really* care about", they are covering for how crappy they feel because the Vikings are the team that has consistently found ways to spoil their party, despite finishing behind them most of the time in the last 30 years. Most will admit that the Vikings are the team they hate the most, followed by the Bears. They hate us more because we've caused them more frustration. The Bears are simply the older rivalry, by about 40 years. Then there are the Lions who've mostly been the Packer's doormats since the early 90's.
