So here we are, week 4 2-2 and just as in the days following Favres departure and Trade we have a house divided. Constant bickering from all concerned and childish jealousy abound.
Let me fill everyone in on a little back round the previous 3 seasons I was blogging on TSN and had a small all be it following but the hate and bickering got me down. I decided to check out the soon to be no more news.net and then Julies world. Some of you know what happened there that summer and some of you saw what to date was some of the most obscene posting I had ever seen.
I ran into Ironman by chance who was also kind of starting a small temp forum. We hit off and he gave me some direction. I decided I wanted some control and a place to write and so I started toward what is now the HQ.
I started my own forum so I could kind of have my old gang and a way to well express my own highs and lows of the packers without being told I was an idiot or "your not a fan"
My point is that I now see daily more and more the same kind of division and hate talk we saw that summer... there are folks getting extreme pleasure out of this and most are not packer fans and never will be.
But let me put this all in perspective. Next time your all upset or totally ready to blow think about this...
I was with my wife at the oncologists Monday. She was hooked up in the room getting treatment when I spotted a 12 year old ******* the far end with a Packers sweat shirt on. I went over found out her name was Tammy and her family moved down here from the Oshkosh area last year and was on her third treatment.
She was excited about the game and was a Favre fan but also wanted the Packers to win.She said that she wanted to fight her Cancer so she could see her Packers win a Super bowl.
I chatted a bit and was going down the hall for a bottled water a short time later when a blond lady approached me I had seen earlier. It was Tammy's mother who told me that talking Packers meant a lot to her and thank you.
I then found out that Tammy's cancer is advanced and they gave her maybe 6 months to live. So here is this 12 year old girl who dearly loves her Packers but won't be here to see that Super bowl. Next time you think that A is full of #@! or so is not a fan ......for Tammy guys just don't.
Thanks for listening.
