I am a die-hard Viking fan who grew up in Duluth. Half my friends were pack fans, the other half were Viking fans. Made for a very interesting childhood in the 60’s.

Now I live in Chico Ca. Everything was fine, until the Pack drafted Aaron. Now that he is their starting QB, I feel as if I moved to Green Bay.

My nephew goes to the same High School Rodgers went to. My niece goes to the same community College Aaron went to because no major college wanted him. That is until he proved how good he was at Butte Community.

Great player, great guy. However, if I wanted to live in Green bay, I would have moved to Wisconsin, not Chico Ca.

Even though he is king here, I still only have two favorite teams, the Minnesota Vikings, and ANYONE PLAYING THE PACK!

Oh yea, I forgot to mention the High School Aaron Rodgers attended is called Pleasant Valley High.

Guess what their mascot is?

The Vikings.

Yup, the Pleasant Valley Vikings.

Now isn't that ironic?

My wife has family in the Western U.P. of Michigan.
98% Packer fans. She had two cousins though who rooted
for the Vikings. When one of them passed away suddenly
a few years ago he had a Vikings helmet displayed on his
casket. In case you have never heard booing at a funeral before...
