[QUOTE="Rocky11, post: 451436, member: 6299"] Toolkein - I loved your post. You are obviously intelligent and up on your facts. The thing that gets to me is the amount of emotion this topic stirs up in people. I guess I lived too much life that way myself. I used to be a die hard Ohio State fan. I got so worked up watching those games. I absolutely hated Michigan. If the truth be known I still have a strong dislike for them. I finally had to quit watching them or even following them for about 20 years. I just couldn't handle the emotional roller coaster ride. As time rolled on I realized that those kind of emotions are not to be spent on sports. I decided that athletes, movies stars and the like are people whom I will never meet or actually care for like they were part of my family. Those people are in this world to entertain me, nothing else. Since I have taken on this attitude I find that life is much simpler. I now watch Ohio State and I root hard for them but when they lose (seemingly always on a big game) I am unhappy but not devastated. Now I know that is MY problem and what other people think is non of my business. But like a former alcoholic I guess I am an overboard evangelist. I admit I was a Favre la la lander for a while but now I really don't care. He is gone and Rodgers is the man now. I would like to see him reconcile with the Packers because I think his legacy will always be tied to them but time will tell about that. You are right, I am a Packer fan first. I have been watching them since I was 9 years old and I have always enjoyed the team. I am almost 57 now and I still love to watch them play. Thanks for the great post. [/QUOTE]
