This is why it’s always worthwhile to read the crime section of your local paper. From the Daily Herald in suburban Chicago, via Lion in Oil:

Thieves stole a Green Bay Packers mailbox between 10 p.m. Dec. 31 and 10 a.m. Jan. 1 at a home on the 25200 block of Highland Avenue, police said. According to reports, this is the second time the mailbox has been stolen: a Chicago Bears mailbox at the home has not been touched. Value was estimated at $200.

Police did not add that the sentimental value of getting your mail from a box decorated in the colors and logo of your favorite NFL team cannot be replaced. They also did not link this act to a game of mailbox baseball perpetrated in suburban Milwaukee in 2004. They have, however, listed Jama as a chief suspect.

But seriously: What is the best — and hopefully less destructive — form of rivalry shenanigans you have ever participated in?
