Get ready football fans! This week’s episode delivers one of the most unbelievable cross-rivalry stories you’ll ever hear! On the latest episode of Rivalry Week, we’re joined by true football legend, Jim McCormack. Jim is a die hard Chicago Bears fan who built a thriving memorabilia business right in the heart of Wisconsin. His store was dedicated almost entirely to the rich history and lore of the Green Bay Packers.
His life is steeped in the Bear/Packer rivalry, from watching the iconic Ice Bowl as his very first game to attending his first Bears game at historic Wrigley Field. Along the way he earned the loyalty of regular customers such like Iron Mike Ditka. He drank tea with Packer royalty and even shared moments so emotional they brought hall of famers to tears. To top it off he’s the mastermind behind the famous first down tradition in section 205 at Solider Field. Whether you “Bear Down” or bleed green and gold this is an episode packed with nostalgia, incredible stories and pure football magic!
