odds of this actually happening are nil - but for it to even get to this point is fairly unbelievable. can't believe its a Lion fan and not the a Lion player involved.

Marshall seems like the only guy in Chicago who is actually pissed that they are losing... reminds me of Bobby higginson back in the day.

And I respect that.

The fan later responded, saying the fight could take place if the 3-6 Bears won three more games. He temporarily made his Twitter account private, before turning it back public.

I guess my only question to this dude is, "So, what do you do when Marshall trucks you for the tenth time in that hypothetical ring?" Some folks need to step away from the Internet a little more often apparently.

As someone born and raised in Metro Detroit but who has also lived in other cities, I've never seen anything quite like the thin skin Metro Detroiters have when any outsider dares insult what is, realistically, a pretty crappy city.

So when people you don't know continuously call your ugly-ass mom ugly you have no desire to rise to her defense?  It's called civic pride.  The fact that you call it a pretty crappy city means you probably grew up in Livonia or Farmington Hills and spent almost no appreciable time in Detroit.  And having a measure of civic pride doesn't mean that you fail to recognize the many, many shortcomings that exist in the city.

Thin skinned enough for you?
