The Packer Forum is the best Packer website i've found - Packers.com , NFL.com , and ESPN.com give my some info but this website is the best - i just recently joined and it seems that i can find out just about anything i want about the Pack .
Me - i'm from Columbus , Ohio - how i became a Packer fan - i was 7 years old and my Grandpa and i were watching Super Bowl 1 and my Grandpa was rooting for the Packers , so i did too and have been a Packer ever since . My daughter ( now 8 ) has been a Packer from day 1 . We play this board game called NFLopoly (just like monopoly only with NFL teams ) and it's fun because we race around the board to see who gets the Packer property. If i get it , she wants to trade me for it ( i eventually give in - but not w/o a fight ) now when she gets it she won't trade it to me - not even if i offer her all my teams and money i've accumulated during the game . I think it's safe to say i've passed the Packer torch to my daughter .Being a Packer fan is special i think ,other people around Columbus never seem to have a bad word to say about the Pack( ok maybe a Bears or Vikings fan on occasion - but theres not to many of them around here ) in fact some are envious that the Pack is the ONLY community owned team and doesn't have to worry about some rich owner moving the team ( i had some Browns fans cry on my shoulder when Modell moved them to Baltimore - those fans rooted for the Packers until the Browns got a team back . "The Packer fans are the best"- i hear that all the time .
Now for next year - WHEN - Favre comes back and we re-tool the Defense and .......... what was that nickname for Green Bay ? oh yeah TITLETOWN U.S.A. !!!!!!!
GO PACK :towel:
