Practice 3 - live update thread

[gbpackfan]

Good afternoon. So get this. I walked across the street from my hotel to the practice fields at 450pm. There was already a line to get in! Practice starts at 630pm! The top row is pretty much full already. Only in green bay!

That brings me to another point. When u come, come early and sit on the top row. You can then stand up on the bleacher any time u wish and get a great view. The front row looks very tempting but don't do it. People walk in front of u all practice long. Frustrating.

[gbpackfan]

Fans still coming in. It is going to b packed.

Field is in great shape still.

Shakira again playing. Some song "this is africa."

Sun is pounding down on us. Man its hot.

Sorry about these blah thought, I'm bored. Hour to go and not much to do.

[get louder at lambeau]

I'm bored. Hour to go and not much to do.

WHy don't you go smack the smug look off Bedard's face real quick. Sounds like you have plenty of time.

[gbpackfan]

A 2 year old is walking around with a "favre sucks" jersey. Funny but kinda wrong. Mixed feelings.

[Brando19]

These updates are awesome. Thanks so much. We should pitch in and pay for you to stay a few more weeks so we can keep the updates coming.....lol.
You say it's packed in the bleachers? It's not been that way since Favre left, has it? I remember a few comments last year and the year before abotu attendance being way down. Maybe fans are realizing it is Super Bowl or die!

[gbpackfan]

Get louder at lambeau - that just made me laugh out loud!

[gbpackfan]

Brando - thank u and what a great idea. I always found your posts inteligent and well thought out. Your easily my favorite packer rat! Ha ha.

Stands r almost full. The attendance has been great. We'll see how it is tomorrow on a "work" day.

The packers have hired very nice people to help u find seats. A great idea.

A lot of players wives in the stands. They r usually pretty hot but all of them r over dressed. I say let them live it up, half their hubbies will b unemployed in a month.

[mission]

I LOVE these updates!!

I see nothing wrong with that but what really pisses me off are those half Packesr half Vikings Favre jerseys.

I was there last year for the second day of TC, and it was packed. Maybe it died down later in the week, I don't know, but it was packed at the beginning of camp.

[gbpackfan]

The way the flags are set up it looks like they'll b practicing red zone running plays.

Dummies r out, strip drills tonight.

What's more wrong - the fact that the lady next to me has a full mustache or that I'm posting it on the web?

It really is amazing, players have the best of everything. The equipment, field and facilities here are all first class. Players have so many water fountains to drink from and trainers are evrywhere to stretch them out. What a life.

Field goal posts moving into place. They were put in place this morning, but no kicks. Crosby has yet to kick in team drills. Strange if u ask me.

Mcdonald is the first player down here. I don't care what bedard says, the guy isn't ready for the nfl yet.

Kesha on the radio. A couple songs ago a rap song was on where the artist said "shit" about 10 times. Hey, it doesn't bother me but there r a thousand kids here. Surprising choice. Its a mix cd too, not the radio.

Sun is back out and beating down on the bleachers. I feel like a piece of chicken at kenny roger's roasters! (Seinfeld, anyone?)

The only thing wrong with that is that you aren't posting a picture for us to enjoy. You really gotta get a free account with www.itookthisonmyphone.com and send us poor shmucks some visual evidence.

[gbpackfan]

There is a lady outside the stands that looks like she's having a heat stroke. News flash - don't wear jeans and a jean jacket on a hot summer day!

Shields out fielding punts. Looking right into the sun.

Catch, catch, catch, catch, catch, catch. Sam catching everything off the jugs machine.

There is a player, peprah I think, wearing a torn up shirt kicking around a soccer ball. Maybe its derick martin. Hard to see.

Woodson has his pads but is wearing shorts. He did this in the morning too. I guess when ur the d player of year u wear what ever the hell u want. He's earned it. (Everyone else is wearing the uniform style football pants with pads)

Rodgers is out. First time he has been the first qb out.

Tausch back in. Clifton too.

Brad jones still out.

The player with the soccer ball was derick martin. He is putting his pads on now. He was mia this morn.

Bwahahahahaha. Funny. Man, I wish I had that shit set up. Sorry. I'm retarded I guess.

Wanted to chime in with a quick thank you - really enjoying this as well! Thanks

[gbpackfan]

A huge wave of fans just arrived. No where to sit. This place is packed.

Starks is out here stretching. Not in pads. Everyone is back from the rest group.

Starks looks thin.

A player from the db group just asked the crowd for an I pod. Lol.

Woodson is the only player in the jog line without pads or a jersey on. He is wearing a winter hat though!

Walk throughs now. It may be a few more minutes of my lame observations.

[rbaloha1]

Mahalo for the informative unbiased updates.

[gbpackfan]

The sun is almost covered by the practice facility. Until then I'm going to continue to use this ladies mustache for cover.

Chillar's arms are longer then ahmad carrolls legs. Seriously, they r crazy long.

Still doing walk throughs.

[gbpackfan]

Rbaloha - thanks. By the way, my wife and I love hawaii. We got married there and have been there 4 times in the couple years. The best place ever!

Should be death by JUGS gun for them*. You catch it, you can wear the jersey. Otherwise, its up to the duty nurse at the rehabilitation center.

* No death for the 2yo. I am firmly against that. Only adults with the half and half jerseys.

Tell your wife how much you are appreciated here.

[bobblehead]

Tell your wife how much you are appreciated here.

I'm guessing that won't help......buy her a diamond, it always works.

Tell your wife how much you are appreciated here.

I was explaining to my wife how appreciated he was after she was asking "what the heck are you reading there" ... after about five more minutes than i actually wanted of explanation, she finally realized how cool/geeky it was. She loves telling people: "he even knows what happens at practice every day" when the football fan/team topic comes up. :lol:
