Congrats to the Packers and Bretsky. Together you restored greatness to Titletown and PackerRats. Like Tupac said "I aint mad at cha"!

That would be up to you guys and Mad regarding the succession plan. I can continue one more round til the next loss if the Rats want........or the torch can be passed to whoever wants it.

It was a great run but...

Bad Karma to let the same person start the GameDay Thread after a Packers loss. Best to give someone else a shot. If the Packers win, that person doers the next one. Isn't that how Bretsky's streak got started in the 1st place?

I would only be OK with that if the next one was started by someone that never has before. If its just another retread attempt then it might as well be Bertsky

No.... don't do it. It's bad luck to do it any other way. Someone else has to start the game day thread. Bretsky doesn't get back in until we lose again. Which will be week 17 when we rest everybody after clinching home field advantage against the Bears.

Agreed. Bretsky's run is done--unless the replacement loses in the next two weeks. Then, Bretsky can have his chair back.

It has to be someone new. Who among us is willing to carry this heavy burden of winning out?

I don't mind doing one knowing we might possibly be resting players. Never have. Up to you guys.

Big shoes to follow! A 19 game streak! I had a streak of about 6 last season, but that number will not win us the title. I say Mission should have a go, if he's volunteered.

BTW: TOP JOB B! Thanks for all the hard work.

I'm not sure if there's an official word or something, but if so... is it supposed to be a whammy or is that just B's thing? I don't want to step outside the lines and be blamed for something horrible. Guide me. :lol:

Do what you want........I'm not offended by anything.......the whammy just seemed like a logical step for me since I've been wrong on so many things and when I started the threads last year I was angry at GB.........seemed to work so I ran with it.

I say give it back to B, but no more whammy. Bret has to do a write up of why the Packers are going to destroy every poor team they face from here on out.

Karma would be kicking our collective asses for the rest of the season. The football gods would not look kindly upon us should we break with tradition, both in allowing Bretsky this prestigious honor after an embarrassing loss AND in forcing him to write a positive preview of the upcoming game.

I vote someone else does it.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but Bretsky is done. Mission has stepped up and just has to win a Superbowl. This was one of the PackerRats original and few rules.

"Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." William Shakespeare

your mission, mission, is nothing less than the preservation of a dynasty. You are the Kim Jong-un of packerrats. The burden of greatness has been passed from the Dear Leader, Bretsky, and has been thrust upon your rounded shoulders.

Oh, right. Bretsky, that miserable idiot. What has he done for us lately? Ruined the whole whammy thing by saying if they won, they'd win out. :lol:

Long live Mission!:knll:

We did get tickets. I'm not the kind of guy to wait around hoping to get something cheaper... too much stress. Got some 10 yard line seats for $170 each (oh well) and had some time for a couple beers before the game. I'll post some pics and a write up later. Making the old lady drive home... she's more sober! :))

Sat next to a 12 year who was basically Patler Jr. Kid was a lot of fun and we went nuts cheering So'oto when he came in. He knew a ton for a twerp. Great time. Spent a shitload at the pro shop. Luckily I exceeded my December sales quota in two weeks -- bonus!!!

No pressure, though.
