Why God is a Packer Fan?

[jack's smirking revenge]

So why is he/she a Packer fan? (Don't go in a religious direction with this question--not meant for that. See my rat name for more info.).

The side story is that I made this comment to one of the people I work with (who, coincidentally, is a Vikes fan) and I have to come up with a witty and clever retort. Need some help.

Bring it Packer Rats!

[pbmax]

Because He doesn't like to watch football through a teflon lens. Hankydome, Rollerdome.

[chewy-bacca]

I think dallas is the only team arrogant enought to really think that...we all just poke at them about it. :wink:

[woodbuck27]

GOD is a Packer FAN:

Because his favourite colors are Green n' Gold.

Hey GOD ! - HELP Ehh !!

[chewy-bacca]

Hey GOD ! - HELP Ehh !!


right, can he help a brotha out! :lol:

[Tarlam!]

I am a Packer Fan....

[Scott Campbell]

So why is he/she a Packer fan?

Because it's the lost 11th commandment.

[BlueBrewer]

Because he/she is a season ticket holder on the 50 yard line.

[pacfan]

So why is he/she a Packer fan?

Who's gonna argue with Vince Lombardi, especially with #66 at side?

[Patler]

Smallest town in all of professional sports.
Outdoor sport in a poor climate.
Working class town, not affluent.
Working class state, not affluent.

Yet the team has:
Sellouts for every game.
Practices attended like games.
Record of success that is unparalleled in the sport.
Season ticket waiting list lasting generations.

How can God NOT have a hand in this????

[Patler]

Why is God a Packer fan?

Because Reggie told us so!

(Isn't that why he told Reggie to come to Green Bay?)

[MJZiggy]

Look how much green and gold abounds in nature....

[Tony Oday]

because God asked Chuck Norris who he should cheer for and Chuck Norris said the Packers.

[vince]

No mortal is wise enough to know why God is what he is or does what he does.

All we know is that only through the grace of God could we have the most tradition-rich team in all of sports in the most beautiful part of the country, with a team whose ownership made everything possible through their charitable contributions, rather than a greedy owner... - [and all that stuff that Patler said]. :smile:

"Reggie, this is God. Go to Green Bay."

And Reggie served the Lord.

Well, because Minnesota was originally the Land of Nod (where Cain went) and Peshtigo was originally The Garden of Eden, long before it was destroyed by the fire started by Mrs. O'Leary's cow (through pyrokinesis). That cow was from Chicago, as you know, which certainly was no coincidence!

[Willard]

Why is God a Packer fan?

Because Curly Lambeau has incriminating photos of The Deity when he got drunk up nort during deer hunting season?

[FavreChild]

Well, there's a published book with the title "God Must Be a Packer Fan." Written by Steve Rose, I believe, with a foreward by Robert Brooks.

If the Viqueen fans have any doubt that god is a Packer fan, then they just need to remember one thing:

Cardinals 18, Viqueens 17. December 2003.

[FavreChild]

Also, the Packers have their own prayers:

A CHEESEHEAD'S PRAYER

Now I lay me down to bed
A wedge of cheese upon my head.
Allegiance to the Packers I promise to keep
And cheer them on while I'm asleep.

If I should die, don't let me wonder,
Bury me beneath the frozen tundra.
But, Lord, before you take my soul,
Let me see the Pack in the Superbowl.

Forgive me, Lord, for those I've hated,
The Cowboys and Viking they're overrated.
The streets of heaven, so I've been told,
Are paved for us in green and gold.

If I get to heaven I'll have only one wish,
A big screen TV with a satellite dish.
I pray for this, Lord, for only one reason,
To cheer on my Pack to a winning season.

I'll close this prayer by thanking you, Lord,
For listening to me and the time you afford.
But one more thing -- please remember the Bears,
Because that's a team that hasn't a prayer!

[FavreChild]

OUR FAVRE

Our Favre,
Who art in Lambeau,
Hallowed be thine arm.
The bowl will come,
It will be won.
In New Orleans as it is in Lambeau.
And give us this Sunday,
Our weekly win.
And give us many touchdown passes.
But do not let others pass against us.
Lead us not into frustration,
But deliver us to Bourbon street.
For thine is the MVP, the best of the NFC,
and the glory of the Cheeseheads,
now and forever.


(Have seen this on the South End Zone site, among other places.)

[ahaha]

I posted this before, but it wasn't up very long. It clearly shows proof that both Jesus, and the Devil, love the Packers. It is a touching scene :mrgreen:

because God asked Chuck Norris who he should cheer for and Chuck Norris said the Packers.

Thank you, Chuck Norris!

And because of the shared sense of sacrifice.

Tim - The ultimate Diehard Packer Fan shows his love of the game.

5 ticks left in the Super Bowl, the Pack they trailed by one. The ball marked near the fifty. Favre warmed up his gun. And in the other end zone a man rose to his feet. Tim the Die-Hard-Packer-Fan, knew this was destiny. Shirtless, painted green and gold from his forehead to his heiny.

The smile slowly left his face. He said, "Someone hold my Leiny". He wet his finger, felt the air. A headwind turned their way. "Favre", he thought, "He's got the gun, but he needs our help, ya hey?" He lumbered down the steps. His mission now was clear. Neutralize the headwind, or wait another year. And as he stepped onto the field, security stopped him short. They asked him who he was, he said "I'm Tim, I'm from up Nort." Whereabouts they fired back. Sheboygan, he revealed. Whaddy catch?

He said "Mostly Pike" They let him on the field. As Favre barked out the signals, Tim chugged a giant beer. And then another, and one after that, as tension filled the air. The ball was snapped, a route was run, Favre unleashed the ball. Never had there been a spiral, so clean and far and tall. And then it hit the headwind and started coming back. Tim felt a rumble in his gut, now was time to act. The burp came out so long and hard, the Yukon felt a breeze. A tidal wave of beer and brats and half a wheel of cheese. The blimp was lost for 7 days, skybox glass was shattered. An OshKosh woman lost her teeth. Tim's stomach left in tatters. But the pass came down, the catch was made, and just before Tim died. He was heard to say "The Pack are Back Oh For Cry Ay Ay"
His headstone reads, "Tim gave his life. Never did he wince. He
tailgates high above old Lambeau, grilling brats with Vince".
