I was born in January of '66 less than a block from the Niners original home, Kezar Stadium in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. As a young child my sport was baseball. I was a S.F. Giants fan.
Football kind of eased into my consciousness in the 70's with the Steelers dynasty and the Cowpukes always on TV.
My dad was born in Milwaukee and was a hard core Packers fan. Sooo, I started watching the Packers and the Niners with him. Then the Niners hired Walsh and drafted Montana and they got great. I watched them every weekend. The Pack I only watched on occasion. This was pretty much my football watching MO for 20 years. Then in '96 when I had to move in with mom & dad for a while... and after hearing for so many years that "the Pack is Back!" I was over joyed to be able to watch the Packers win the Superbowl with my dad. Since then I've been able to watch a lot more football with him and learn much more about the Championship team he grew up with. I've slowly grown to really appreciate the Packers, the organization, it's history and it's FANS. 99.999% of all the experiences I've had with Packer fans have been incredible. They've been a real joy to hang out and watch football with.
So there ya go. I love the Packers... but they are my number 2 team!
