This is a small town. 100,000 souls, may be 1/4 million in the greater Green Bay area. There isn't much here really. Not cosmopolitan at all. What is here is a football franchise which has lived on since 1921 while many of the other small town teams went away. Somehow plucky Green Bay rolled with it and maintains a team without an owner.
You are born to it here. I'm as old as the Super Bowl so championships were just legends to me as a a kid. we watched a team struggle for 29 years to get back to the Super Bowl. We won one... we lost one, but we repeated.
Now the turmoil of the last few years is settled with the joke Favre gimping off into the sunset and a team built through the draft coming to fruition. Warms the heart...
What we saw last night was a microcosm of the Packers' season. Key players went down. Back us stepped up and got it done one way or the other. It was a great game.
The G on the Packer helmet doesn't stand for Green Bay. It stands for greatness. Packerland is over the moon with greatness at the moment. Green Bay loves its Packers.
You wanna see NFL football? Lambeau awaits.
Couldn't be happier!
