My beloved Green Bay Packers lost last week and I am in major mourning. Despite such a disappointing game, details not to follow, I proudly hung my Clay Matthews picture on the library wall today. Somehow, it made me feel better looking at the old pictures of Brett, Aman and the rest of the guys, to know that we can still beat the Lions.
I have such fond memories of working the parking lot detail at the Silverdome, drinking my coffee proudly out of a rather large PACK mug. Needless to say, I received many offers to join the grillers for a brat or two, eh. Back in those days, it appeared there were more PACK fans at the game than Lions fans.
Now, that I am an owner of one share of PACKERS stock, we would give up the season to the sorry New York Giants.
I had the opportunity to visit PACKER fans Mecca a couple years ago. For those who are uninformed, Mecca is Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin. While touring, I met Lousie, an owner from New Jersey. We had lunch, shopped at the gift store and exchanged E-mail addresses. Since then, on game day, we E-mail and enjoy sharing the game. Sometimes, Louise doesn't have televised coverage, so I become the play-by-play broadcaster person. Included in our viewing is Tina and a guy named, Steve. Tina lives in Appleton, Wisconsin and has her picture in a book titled, "For Packers Fans Only". She is famous! Steve, who I've never met lives out west somewhere and worked with Lousie. We have fun bantering back and forth without any expletives. I'm sure going to miss those guys, but there is always next season.
GO PACK GO!!!
