I was an outsider. I moved to Milw from LA 3/1996. Football-starved, I latched on to the Packers from day 1 and was lucky enough to see them win back the Lombardi Trophy. I have so many Packer favorites. I left WI last summer to be closer to family (I'm old). But I will be a Packers fan until I die.
Seriously? Martinez leads the team in tackles nearly every game (exceptions are when the opponents have to pass nearly every down). Aikman called him "a tackilng machine." Not "a factor"? He led the team in tackles and solo tackles in each of the first 4 games!
Yep. Bart Starr was the face of the Packers from the time he first started playing until his recent passing. He was a good man and the best ambassador the Packer-nation could have asked for.
Many years ago I met a pub owner in Oxford England who had been a die-hard Packer fan since Starr's...
There are so many Packer legends, particularly at QB. I'd pick Bart Starr as the best of them.
I was very young when he was in his prime so I never got to see him play. I'll quote Wikipedia: "Starr has the highest postseason passer rating (104.8) of any quarterback in NFL history and a...
I'm still sort of new to the forum but I wanted to chime in. For Christmas my nephew got me a football autographed by Jordy. Other than when my parents got me a labrador puppy, that's the most thoughtful gift I've ever rec'd.
You all know the stats better than me, but didn't he lead the league...
The sense of community. I moved out here from LA 20+ years ago. In LA sports have become disposable entertainment. Here people care, and they know -- not just the current team, but the history. Our community is what makes the Packers, not Disney $s.
The thing that bugs me is that Trevathan only has to sit 2 games, but how long will Adams be out? Here's my suggestion: First, the refs enforce the current guidance and eject any player who deliberately tries to harm another player (with video review as is done in college). The offender is then...
No disrespect to Ty, but we need a true RB. I'm not saying Ty shouldn't run the ball, he should. Having him in the backfield is problematic for defenses. He'd be a great change of pace back. But I don't think he should be the primary back b/c he's just not built to take the punishment. Plus...
When I moved out here 20+ years ago from LA it was immediately clear that the Packers weren't just some sports team. They are part of the community. There are no other teams like the Packers and no other fans like Packer fans.
Hi!
I moved out here from LA 20+ years ago. I love Wisconsin! I embraced the Packers immediately, never missing a game and they responded by winning the Super Bowl! I own stock and try to get to a game every year or two. If we could just stay healthy it'll be us or the Falcons in the next Super...
