Five Reasons Why the NFC Championship Game Between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers Will Be the Best Reality TV Ever

If you are a Green Bay Packer Fan, first off my apologies for having to buy two seats for your wife at Soldier Field, and second, as you can see in my first statement, I am a pretty hardcore Bears fan, so just back-click now and have a nice day.

I'm sorry, I know we have a bunch of big deal Reality TV on deck this week, like the premiere of the 10th season of "American Idol," "Teen Mom 2," The finale of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", and Restaurant Wars on "Top Chef All Stars," but this Sunday's NFC championship will be the greatest reality TV ever.

Best of all? People will actually get hit. None of this table flippin', weave pullin', namby pamby producer controlled nonsense. Someone will actually get tackled.

The Bears/Packers match up will have every one of the five elements that makes for good Reality TV.

The History and Rivalry

The Bears and the Packers have been rivals in the NFC North for 4,238 years. It's true, look it up. And never in those eons has there ever been an NFC Championship on the line. Mostly either divisional stuff and bragging rights. You thought LC and Kristin Cavallari (yes, double Jay Cutler dating pun intended) had history on "The Hills?" Well, this my friend, is some history making history type history.

The Hero

Well, duh. The Bears. Especially Jay Cutler, because his name might has well been Rex Grossman while we were crying into our old Kyle Orton jersey not too long ago. Reality TV loves a good villain turned hero.

The Villain

Ugh, The Packers...duh. The colors yellow and green have all been banned in this state because it makes every Bear fan wretch at the site. The biggest villain is probably Brett Favre Jr. Midwest Tom Brady himself, Aaron Rodgers. Mostly because I find the gratuitous "d" in his last name especially annoying.

The Drama

Da-Rah-Ma. You think those Housewives reunions are gut churning nail biters? Tap a Bears or Packers fan on the shoulder during the opening kickoff, then duck. The pent up nerves and stress will probably induce a reflex roundhouse kick to the face. Will the Bears Offense not screw up? Will the defense hold Rodgers and make the big plays? Just typing this is stressing me out.

Crazy-ass Fans Lighting Up Comment Boards

Fans of reality TV know that one of the best things about being a fan is reading the comments of people that take their "shows" entirely too serious. Well, football fans might actually be worse. Those comment threads are bloodbaths! Reading those makes me wonder how no one gets stabbed at one of these games during the regular season.

So there you have it. I'm ready. Bring it on. The Bears/Packers will be the appointment TV of the year. Until we beat the Jets in the Superbowl, of course. My prediction? 17-14 Bears.
