The North Dakota pipeline controversy was one of the hottest topics of 2016, and will likely continue to be an issue in 2017.
On Sunday, for some reason, a guy in a Brett Favre Minnesota Vikings jersey decided to hang from a large banner connected to the rafters at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Don't see this every day at a Vikings game. Just another odd occurrence in the 2016 season. pic.twitter.com/5sc7TfsYc3

We are guessing that he will be given some nice looking silver handcuffs and taken into police custody.
This is by far the most interesting event occurring at U.S. Bank Stadium today, as the Bears are already getting blown out 17-0 in the 2nd quarter.
Matt Barkley has thrown another interception, Jeremy Langford had a lost fuble, and the Bears look like a team playing their reserves once again (which they are).
The only positive note so far has been rookie Jordan Howard making Bears history, setting the all-time rookie rushing record (previously held by Matt Forte).
Stay tuned...
