Trash talk broke out in a Chicago bar between backers of the Steelers and the Bears soon after Chicago defeated Pittsburgh on September 20. Things began to escalate between the two groups, but then died down once the home fans offered the visitors in black and gold a round of drinks.

However, not long after imbibing his token of peace, Steeler fan Zach Heddinger passed out. An ambulance rushed Heddinger to the hospital, where his heart stopped four times, and he lost his vision. Doctors suspect his drink was spiked with grain alcohol or antifreeze.

"I don't think they tried to kill me. I think they tried to hurt me, but the killing came pretty close," said Heddinger, who still hasn't regained his vision and may never. The authorities, with the full cooperation of the bar, are still trying to track down the rogue Bear fans.

Backers of the Philadelphia Eagles hope this attempted murder is finally enough to make everyone shut up about the time they booed Santa Claus over 40 years ago.
