[QUOTE="WinnipegPackFan, post: 114138, member: 342"] Raider Pride, You ask a very simple yet interesting question. I only wish I had not read your answers as they resemble my answers (for the most part). I can't remember the exact year I became a fan of the Pack nor can I remember in exact order the many different things that I found unique and inspiring about the Packers and Green Bay. Being from Winnipeg,MB, Canada where our Blue Bombers play in a similar (but I believe colder) climate, probably made the Packers a very easy transition into this NFL team for me however it would be things like, those below, in no specific order after number #1, that made me a fan: #1 The small town Ownership (Green Bay is the Packers). This city is not like many other cities with an abundance of professional sports, it is a city that seems to live and breathe the game of football like no other city possibly could. This is just my opinion but I believe a valid one and could expand but this post would be too long. #2 The rich tradition of winning that goes back to all the Championships The Packers won well before and after I was born. #3 Vince Lombardi who is a legend in my mind as well as many others. His quotes will be used long after we have passed away and I encourage anyone who is unfamiliar with Mr Lombardi to check out this site for info: [url]http://www.vincelombardi.com/[/url] [img]http://www.vincelombardi.com/images/gallery/thinking.jpg[/img] #4 Brett Favre whom I could go on and on about however, his 229 consecutive starts combined with the 2003 Oakland Raiders performance the day after his father passed away is something that I feel puts him up there with Vince in this great Packer tradition that continues to grow.

How could I not love this great Team and City :packbeer: Thank You Green Bay !!! [/QUOTE]
