      Green Bay Packers

      27 February 2011

      The 2010 Green Bay Packers led by Aaron Rodgers continues to remain a Lovemark in my heart and those of us born, raised or living in Wisconsin. The Pack won Superbowl XLI and the team couldn't have deserved it more. I am "Feelin Fly Like a Cheesehead" and a mashup remix of the G6 song sings, and am proud to wear my Green and Yellow everywhere and anywhere in the world! To give you an idea of just how strong the bond is between Wisconsonites and the Green Bay Packers, let me tell a story. This past week a good friend and coworker died suddenly at our place of employment. He was known as "Mr. Packer." He lived, breathed and died a Packer fan. He was also called "Packer Dave." I went to his funeral this past week, and everyone at the funeral, hundred, almost one thousand people I would estimate, waited in line for hours just to sign his guest book, give condolences to his large family, and proudly wear their Green and Yellow Packer gear to the funeral. In fact the family requested it. Dave was cremated, so in the front of the chapel, there were all his Green Bay Packer jerseys, collectibles, etc., and some of his ashes were inside of a Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers lunch box from back in the day! As a lifetime Green Bay Packer fan, I have worn my Packers gear all over the world, have watched games over Internet video streaming while in my house in Paraguay in South America, screaming for every touchdown! The Packers brought the Vince Lombardi trophy home to "Titletown" as Green Bay, Wisconsin is known, because the trophy, named in honor of our great coach Vince Lombardi, was first awarded after the Packers won the first Superbowl in 1967 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay (and the game is fondly called the "ice bowl" for it was played in -20 F temps!), and went on to defeat the Radiers in Superbowl II in 1968 at Lambeau. In fact, as I sit here, I am wearing my Superbowl II sweatshirt commemorating that game. And that is only because my Superbowl XLI shirt is in the wash! We love our Green Bay Packers and our great quarterback Aaran Rodgers, who was both Superbowl MVP in 2010 and winning quarterback!
