One thing's for sure though, win or lose, we won't be shooting and then stringing up our coach's dog in his driveway... unlike the fans of another team...

What team was that?

There are several versions of the story, but Dan Devine's dog was shot and killed just before he was fired from the Green Bay Packers. In their long and storied history, the Packers have had only 13 head coaches.

In 1973 the Packers went 5-7-2 and the day after the season ended, Coach Dan Devine returned home from the stadium and found his pet dog shot and hanging by its neck in the driveway.

Some say a neighboring farmer shot the dog "accidentally" but it really doesn't explain the hanging part.
