Packers are 2 wins & 11 losses and the fans are still figuring how they can win the Super Bowl.

Ah, you must be speaking of the Bart Starr/Forrest Gregg/Lindy Infante years (you know they shot Lindy's dog), because there wasn't a Super Bowl during the Scooter McLean years.

Oh, and we get Packer news 365 days a year--unless it's leap year. Then it's 366 days a year. And if we are 2-11, the TV sports guys explain in detail what it's going to take to get us into the playoffs. Besides telling us in great detail the specifics of the Packer injuries ("he has a knee" or "he's got a groin pull" or "he's got a hip pointer").

Oh, people planning their vacations around Packers training camp and a trip to the Packers Hall of Fame.

(Now for some REAL inside Green Bay stuff)

Having YOUR kid's bike be selected by a Packer to ride from the practice field to the stadium.

And having your kid memorize the Packer training camp roster given to her by Howie Blindauer (we so miss Howie) and crossing out the names of the players cut, one by one or in batches.

BTW, my office is three blocks from the original City Stadium. They just put up a new sign commemorating place as a historical site.

By East high, right? Did you know the NFL donated some money to the Pack to use for renovating sports facilities at area schools, and the Pack chose to re-build City Stadium?

This is ABSOLUTELY true. I took a business trip to Green Bay in February one year. The newspapers STILL had Packers news in it. I thought it was GREAT (I grew up in Pittsburgh as a Steeler fan, they do pretty much the same thing there). Green Bay is (and all the other towns I had to visit were) beautiful. I loved it and hope to make it back some day. Bump from E Texas.
