Good story, but Packers' G does not stand for greatness

[News Bot]

The Internet echoes a new "fact" about the Green Bay Packers that has caught even hard-core fans off guard. Many blogs and websites now say the G on the Packers helmet stands not for Green Bay, but for greatness. The Packers say it's nonsense.

The strange thing is I heard about the greatness thing before I heard Tiki Barber do his thing.

I've never heard anything about it, and i'm on the internet quite often. Some things get past me.

 

[Forget Favre]

I couldn't reach Barber, but some think his bad information came from a tidbit that a Packers fan added to Wikipedia last summer. The site now attributes the claim to Barber, so it's gone fully circular.

I'll trust my cat before Wikipedia for information.

I heard the G is for Green Bay. Vince just wanted the logo to be in the shape of a football. ?????
