For a long time they were the closest NFL teams to us.  When Atlanta came along many here pulled for them since they were only a few hours away.  Nevertheless, I chose the Packers and have never wavered. There have been some lean years and there were few of us in junior high and high school who were admitted Packer fans. We took grief and gave it right back. There are four of us who were classmates, and although scattered now somewhat, we keep in touch. I will not pull for the Carolina Panthers! I could not go this time but when the Packers and Brett Favre played at Carolina in 2005? (has it been ten years?) I was there with my youngest son (who I got out of school that day to go with me).  We had on Packer's jerseys and hats and were loud and proud. I am proud to be a NC Packer fan....Now for 50 years and still going!</p></blockquote><p></p>
