Sports bar in Minnesota to roast a bear during NFC title game

[Auggie]

Roast as in cooking, not a Friars' Club event.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A sports bar owner in Minnesota is showing his support for the Green Bay Packers in this weekend's game against the Chicago Bears in a very literal way -- by roasting a bear.

Blake Montpetit, the co-owner of Tiffany Sports Lounge in St. Paul, says he plans to cook a 180-pound black bear in a pig-roaster over hickory and charcoal on Sunday. He says his cousin shot it in northern Wisconsin during bear hunting season, which runs in September and October, and then froze it.

Montpetit says he planned to serve the meat to customers, but the state health department rejected the plan because the meat is unprocessed. Instead, customers can take photos with the roasting bear.

Whoops!! Only one of them is buried.

5. We don't need the vikings support

They are a bitter rival and the NFC Champion Green Bay Packers have no use for them or their fans.
