How ‘bout those Packers?

Am I the only Packer backer in Jordan? Well, if the Vikings continue to play at their current level, you all might consider switching allegiances to a team with a winning tradition and a chance to make it into the playoffs.

Oh, and the Packers also have something the Vikings might want to consider looking into – we call it an offense.

Way back in July, I posted about the Packers and the then impending start of the 2007 NFL season. In that post, I said I might even go so far as to predict a 10-6 season for the beloved green and gold. (If you don’t believe me, read it here: http://www.jordannews.com/node/3884.) Well, guess what?

You know, I didn’t want to be the first to comment on my post, but I’ve got a question: Where’s the love for the Packers?

Ever since Green Bay’s record-breaking win against San Diego, all the news coverage has focused on how the Chargers are lost, how the Chargers can turn it around, or how the Chargers failed to win the game. Why no love for Favre and the Pack? Good teams find a way to win games, and that’s what Green Bay did. I was excited after the win because it meant I could finally hear some news about my team (they did beat a Super Bowl favorite, after all, and are 3-0 against playoff teams from last year). Then there was nothing about the Packers.

To get away from Green Bay, they do the same thing all the time with any other team from the Midwest. We’re small-market in Wisconsin and Minnesota, so the bigger story is always going to be how the big team failed to win the game. Come on!

You're in Minnesota. It's all purple. That's why there's no love for green here.
