Growing up in Illinois will make you confused as a kid. What's important is that Dean Lowry is a Packer now.

The Green Bay Packers landed a player in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft who has spent most of his live in the state of Illinois, cheering for the Chicago Bears.

That is all over now.

While one of his new teammates embraced the hatred of Chicago's NFL team almost instantly Dean Lowry won't be quite as quick to write off his former favorite team. But make no mistake - he is a Packer through and through now, as he has always held a deep respect for the organization

The NFL seems intent on using Las Vegas as its next threat to land publicly funded stadiums - SBNation.com
OHHHHH. When you put it in that context, the rumors about the Raiders moving to Vegas all make much more sense.

Well, it's not as bad as last year when Jaguars rookie Dante Fowler blew out his knee during rookie minicamp...but it's not good.
