"nfc championship game" news and stories

In case there was ever any doubt, I've come across further proof that people really will do anything for a Chicago hot dog. The next time you get a craving, look no further than eBay. An enterprising individual recently sold a "Complete (non-eaten) Soldier Field Hot Dog (wrapper included)" along with a ticket stub from the NFC Championship. Wow, I am glad he specified that it was non-eaten.

Yes, the requisite question was asked. Q: Does this come with mustard, onions, relish, celery salt, and a pickle spear? Sadly, it didn't. Nothing but a bun and a wiener, so it is really only a pretend Chicago dog. However, the seller did have some friendly words of advice:

Who needs a wedding cake when you can have a hot dog from the 2007 NFC Championship Game to break out on special occasions?

Who indeed, dude? Who indeed? I'm fairly certain most prospective brides would completely agree with you too.

In case you were wondering (and I know you were), the item sold for $6.49 plus a $20.00 charge for overnight shipping. The hot dog was to be frozen and shipped out late in the day to minimize thawing time. Whew, that's a load off my mind. Wouldn't want it to go bad or anything.
