And an "I WANT THE TRUTH SIGN".

I have the SB and shortened NFL Films version SB on my DVR. Every so often I'll turn them on for a few minutes or watch the Sound FX videos on NFL.com.

I also stumbled across this video the other day and thought it was one of the better ones I've seen.

Good video.

Anyways, I think the buildup to this one was perfect. Other times we get hyped is usually when we think we're the best team out there. This season was exciting because we had our backs against the wall. Tons of guys on IR, facing what was at the time a playoff team ahead of us. We wont, what was it, 5 must win games to get to the super bowl? Our playoffs started in-season, and boy was it a ride. I loved every moment of it.

The after celebration was haulted mostly because there is something that overshadows it all - the idea of not having football next season.

While it appears at this point it's unlikely we wont have a season, the idea that we might not overshadows everything. Doesn't change the way I felt the moment williams broke up the final pass.

All in all, Packer fans are being a bit short changed in what was truly an exceptional playoff performance by the team.

The Packers won the Super Bowl, but it just doesn't feel like it.

Ya know what, you're right. But they beat Schitcargo and in the biggest game of the season at their house. The SB was just gravy for me. Beating Da Bears was the greatest sporting moment of my fandom.

Nooo! Not this again. Arrrrggghhh...

It is really nice to say to my FIB buddies, "Hey, remember whent he packers walked all over the bears to go on and win the super bowl? Yeah, that was awesome."

Apparently the strange, subdued feelings I have are being extended to the national medias treatment of MM.
Virtually ignored at the league meetings:

I'm still enjoying the crap out of this Super Bowl win. Living in Pennsylvania with all the Steeler's fans around and getting to
wear any piece of championship attire to piss them off never gets old. Not to mention I have a brother who's a Bear's fan!!

Anytime I need a little lift I can go to NFL rewind and watch any game + the playoffs and know everything comes out roses
in the end. To this day I still refuse to watch SB32 because that team should have won the title that year and let it slip away.
I was lower than low that offseason because that year the title was expected and the team didn't grab the brass ring.

This years team had it's injuries and flaws but overcame them all. We're still champs until at least next January and I'm
going to enjoy that feeling until some other team knocks the Pack off their perch.

That means they'll be media underdogs again next year. They're gonna have to repeat to get the respect they deserve...

the lockout has definitly taken the spotlight away from the Packers. as for the season...i was anticipating a sb run after last season and the great preseason the o showed. injuries (and mm's playcalling *wink*) put a damper on things but i hoped for the best. the detroit loss was the low point, then the n.e. game turned it around for me. that run at the end was sweet. it was a great season! no down/subdued feelings for me.

[Pugger]

I was just thinking...it might be a good thing nobody's talking about the Packers too much and winning the SB. Sometimes with all that adulation it can go to your head. Maybe if we don't get a lot of national love and respect that will give the guys a chip on their shoulders and will be motivated to go for it all again!

[VegasPackFan]

There is some truth to this. I have said before that after they lost to Miami I told everyone that the season was over, they couldn't win close games and too many injuries. The rest of the way there were glimmers of hope but I was banking that on next season being a great one. For me personally, it all reached a peak at the NFC Championship game against the most hated rival of all time for eternal bragging rights. After that, I just knew we were going to win the SB.

I still get that same feeling like "hey, that's right - we won the SB......"

Remember when the Packers Beat the Bears in the NFC Championship Game and won the Halas trophy IN Soldier Field? That was cool

[Lurker64]

Here's how I plan on really cementing the fact that the Packers won the superbowl.

Watch the draft.
Wait four hours wondering "when the hell are the Packers going to pick?".
Answer that question, every time, "At #32".
Smile.

I was speaking with a Viking fan the other day about how the Packers weren't going to get there Super Bowl rings until after the lockout was solved, and how the lockout then had to be a conspiracy on the part of the Vikings to deny the Green Bay Packers, ..wait.., pardon me, that would be World Champion Green Bay Packers there just due. He then asked the question, "But if they don't have a ring, did they really win?"
