[QUOTE="828Packer, post: 681441, member: 11186"] I was born in 1988 in North Carolina, and raised in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Down here we begin playing football at a very early age and I started when I was 6, in 1994. By the time I was 8 years old and really beginning to come into my own as a football fan, I developed a deep admiration Brett Favre. He was Southern, like me. Played QB, like me, and at the time, I thought I played as tough as he was. He was someone that I not only looked up to, but thought at the time, that I could emulate. From that point on, I became fanatic. As I got a little older, my mother married my stepfather and he was from Wisconsin, as was his family. They seemed to keep me well stocked in Packer gear. Now it all seems to come full circle. I have a 6 year old son of my own playing football and loving the Packers as well. He's got one of my old jersey's from when I was a child and a Packer blanket my wife made me when we were dating in high school. That blanket accompanied me on many years through college and the military, and it was in his crib the day I brought him home. I've been to Packer games at Carolina, Atlanta and Washington but unlike most here, I've never been to Lambeau Field. I hope to change that very soon with my little guy at my side. This ol' Southern Boy will bundle up. [/QUOTE]
