[QUOTE="HullChief, post: 616377, member: 10942"] Short Answer: #4 I didn't have Sky tv (uk) as a kid growing up, so american football was unknown to me until towards the end of my high school days. Remember watching a few games in the early 2000's, not really understanding the rules and getting to grips with the teams. St Louis seemed to be the team that was on more often than not, then remember staying up and watching a GB game when i should have been in bed, cant remember for the life of me who the opposition was but it wasn't important cos no-one would have stopped Brett Favre. Every pass was pinpoint and landing, short or long didnt matter, the guy was unplayable. If it wasn't Favre, it was Dorsey Levens punching his way through the line. Packers seemed to be on a few times after that and i just fell for them. Got my first packers shirt, cap etc.. and i was therefore a Packer Not long after i was sporting my new clothing, my now step dad always said he recognised the logo, but knew absolutely sod all about American football. A few months later he put the pieces together and realised what it was. Turn out his mother had a friend who lives in non other than Green Bay, Wisconsin.
