7:54 and the satellite guy is back on the roof. I swear to all that is holy at 8:30 I'm leaving him here and going to the bar.

Seriously! I'd get on the road now!!

The closest sports bar is 2 minutes away. And if I drink too much I can walk home.

Then go now, drive back at halftime and keep on drinking.

Fair question and not trying to be a prick...

Can you be a Packer fan (now or in the future) if you cheer for Favre (against the Pack) in this game? If you wanted to cheer for him (or the Vikes) outside these games, I'd still be puzzled but can see some baring...

To each is own, but the Pack will be around presumably until the NFL ends or an asteroid hits the earth... I couldn't look myself in the mirror knowing I ever cheered against them.

It'd be like cheering for Benedict Arnold and then celebrating the 4th of July years later...

This is a very good question one that I have answered in several threads. I am done being a Packer Homer, a rabid fan, what ever you want to call it. I will still follow the Packers and when they win, great. If they lose I have removed the fan side of me and can look at it a little more analytical, meaning I can move on with my life. My week was ruined after a lose until Thursday, at the very least. Not anymore.

Me and Cleft Crusty have a lot in common.

Fair enough - and not directed at you particularly. Maybe in a few years you'll go back to a rabid fan - once all the unneeded drama settles down.

this is where we separate the real packer fans, from the ones that joined up in the 90's and 00's

its gonna be rough, and i love favre and hate how it ended in gb. but i hope to god he gets burried tonight and throws a pick-6 or 2 toninght

START THE FUCKING GAME

lets get this abortion of a scenario over with

[imscott72]

Nah not trying to make excuses, but just being a realist I guess.

That's not what I heard:

I have already heard a number of Packer fans on this board claim that this game is not that important, it is an early season game, bla bla bla. Nice way to set up a Packer loss.

Ha, I didn't see Nutz post that. Oh well, not trying to set up a loss, but I'm also a glass half full guy if we lose. I'm not putting all my eggs in a one game basket if you will.

This is how I kind of picture myself. I'm a hard Packer fan, but keep the ability to analyze where they are falling short of success.

damn, breaking news - woodson says rodgers is the best QB in the league when he has time to throw

also, earlier they broke the news that rodgers dreamed of playing on monday nights when he was young

[Fosco33]

So who's in/out?

I hear Clifton is out.

[SMACKTALKIE]

Packer Rats,

Here's to a fun, clean, well officiated, injury free game.

Cheers.
