Crazy Packers Fan
Cheesehead
The Packers only are on CBS a maximum of 2 times a year (although that could change with the new NFL TV contract starting next season). Incidentally, they've had quite a bit of success in recent years on CBS: (announcers courtesy 506sports.com)

Some things to note:
- Obviously the Packers' record in these games is going to be good because they're all home games. CBS only broadcasts AFC away games (although the new NFL TV contract will allow them more NFC games starting next season).
- The Packers always seem to come ready to play when the #1 crew of Nantz & Simms is at Lambeau.
- On the other hand, Ian Eagle brings the Packers bad luck.
- This week, the Packers will get neither the good luck of Nantz/Simms nor the classiness of Greg Gumbel. Instead it'll be Harlan along with "Solomon's Wisdom." Kind of hard to believe a game between two of the NFL's most storied franchises gets CBS's #5 team.
