[QUOTE="johnny_blood, post: 197977, member: 913"] I grew up in Green Bay, and I no longer live in WI. As a very young kid (****ey/Wright era) I wasn't very interested in football, mostly because I didn't understand it. During Majkowski's reign I watched more games, including our upset of the 49ers and the "instant replay" win over the Bears. I went to a few games as well, including a Bears game in 85 or 86. At that point I was an average fan, not a fanatic. I didn't turn into a big fan until Brett came in to win that first game against Cincinnati. By then I was a little older and had a better understanding of the game, plus Brett was so exciting. There was a palpable feeling right away that he was going to do great things, that we were going to steadily get better. The whole feeling in Green Bay just changed dramatically. Brett has been playing so long that a lot of younger fans probably have no idea what this transition was like. It swept me up and I've been watching religiously every Sunday since Brett beat the Bengals. (No matter where I am.) I only ever saw one game at County Stadium, with Favre losing to Marino. That was probably in '93. [/QUOTE]
