[QUOTE="NYPack, post: 687846, member: 12070"] I officially became a packers fan last week. I began life as a football fan rooting for the Jets. This year marked 30 years of nothing but disappointment and I decided that 30 years was long enough to give a team without getting anything back. The Jets are simply put, a bad organization. My requirements for picking a new team were pretty simple. I wanted to root for a good organization with solid ownership and not an AFC East team. I always passively rooted for Favre while he was a Packer and was ecstatic when the Jets traded for him - unfortunately we could only hold him for one year. Hopefully the Favre love doesn't catch too much flack around here. I'm sure there was great debate over that whole saga here. Anyway, the reason for bringing that up is that it makes it a bit more natural for me to pick the Packers. The history of the Packers franchise is obviously amazing and makes them easy to pick. I am an UPSTATE New Yorker (not a city boy) and look forward to making the trek out to storied Lambeau field some time in the next few years. This all feels a little odd to me as I'm sure you guys can imagine. I'm hoping that participating in the online discussions will help me become more familiar with the current team and feel like more of a "real fan". Not sure how this will all work out, but I'm all-in, so to speak. Today will be my first Sunday as a fan. Go Pack GO! [/QUOTE]
