    This label should not even exist--for the Packers OR for the Cowboys or for any other team. It's retarded and arrogant. I will never consider the Cowboys "America's Team" or any team for that matter. I'm American and the Packers are my team, but I don't consider them the preferred team or the representative team of America.

        I don't take it that seriously. I think there's little doubt that the Cowboys and Packers have the biggest national following--for various reasons. The Steelers are a close third. It wouldn't be a thought if the Cowboys hadn't arrogantly annoited themselves "America's Team"--which rubs people (e.g. Packer fans) the wrong way. Do we even think about this label in other sports? Not really. The Yankees in baseball and the Celts and Lakers in basketball have the biggest followings in their respective sports, but nobody labels them "America's Team."

          I don't take it seriously either, but it annoys the PISS out of me when I see it in marketing. The America's Team chatter has died down in recent years, but I'm still bitter from when it was at its peak. That arrogance is contemptible and, yes, its propogated by marketing, but man I just wish it would go away.

                I just saw that. I think you need more than a tissue. Probably a roll of Downy to clean your keyboard.

                Ick, Harlan. Way Ick.

                  Perhaps it's just a marketing quirk..."let's survey 2,000 people. But don't make any long-distance calls" he says from his office at Pitt...

                    I had an old VHS tape Titled The History of the Packers narrated by Ray Scott.

                    it was subtitled, "The Grandstand Franchise -Owned by the fans in the Stands"

                    Not too catchy, but I liked it.

                    We should have a permanent label for the Pack, rather than a popularity contest for that crappy "America's Team" tag.

                    I hate that thing about as much as Tyler does.

                      No one has to get too upset until some other city decides to dub itself "Titletown".

                      Then it'll be time to pull out all the James Madison quotes and start talking about a second revolution.

                        That show emphasizes "da Bears" as the Team Jim B. supports and there's all these Bear Jerseys and T-Shirts.He eats da Bears cereal and ice cream bars... no he doesn't.

                          That's because Jim Belushi is a Bear fan in real life. Came out of Second City Chicago. I know, shocking, but now we know the man does have a major flaw.
