the Packers didn't win you the only Super Bowl you've won in the modern era, Brett Farve did. without Farve you would have been sub .500 like you will be going forward. I guess the rest of the team could've stayed home that day.

The Packers are my home team. I was born in LaCrosse early in the Vince Lombardi era and lived there until I was 10. Boy, that is DEEEEEEEEP into Packerland there. Less than a mile from the Minn/Wi border, but about 200 miles to Green Bay. Yeah, that makes sense

How 'bout those old school Tampa uniforms?!? Between those old uniforms and all the sacks I saw in that game, I thought Trent Dillfer had been traded to the Packers.

Speaking of submissive dogs, what happened to the green and gold puppies against what arguably used to be the worst team in the NFL until they played the pack today? We peed on ourselves baaaaaaddddddd! Our offensive line has been taking lessons from the Vikings franchise, apparently. Rolled right over on their backs again.  Sorry I couldn't be here to reply to you immediately, Rick, much as I know how much you want to rub in one cruddy Pack game as though it's a whole franchise history of losing Super Bowls. One execrable pack loss = a puddle of pee. The Vikes and their history = an ocean of pee. I can take one step upwind to get out of the pee puddle. You guys got a lot of paddling to get away from that smelly ocean, and we all know how big the waves can get the last half of the season and during the playoffs. Mind you don't capsize!  Anyway, I've been out trying to fill the doe tag to go with the buck. Meat for the freezer and all that, you know? The important, stuff, you know? Too busy to get back to the toy store until now. You all know me. When my team plays like 7th graders, I'm the first to say so. No excuses. That's just the way it is, see. What makes me laugh, and I mean a big rip-snorting belly buster of a guffaw, is when some fans from other teams take one Pack loss and try to make it a horrible season, or one bad season (which this one might become but isn't quite yet) and turn it into a horrible franchise. Uh, no, I think we all are quite certain who the longtime losers have been here.  So, it's your Super Bowl to win. Go win it if you can, and let the naysayers nay no more. I'll be the first to congratulate you. And this being the toy store, where we come to bluster and badger and throw out chest thumps, I'll also be the first to point out that a single Super Bowl victory would be just a good start.  OK, back to getting ready for tomorrow's hunt. Five a.m. comes along pretty quick at my age.

ToChe! I thought the same thing so I thought better than opening my mouth with the Vikes track record and we still have the rest of the season to live up to the Vike reputation.

You all know me. When my team plays like 7th graders, I'm the first to say so. No excuses. That's just the way it is, see. What makes me laugh, and I mean a big rip-snorting belly buster of a guffaw, is when some fans from other teams take one Pack loss and try to make it a horrible season, or one bad season (which this one might become but isn't quite yet) and turn it into a horrible franchise. Uh, no, I think we all are quite certain who the longtime losers have been here.  Actually the pack is in the process of going on their second bad season. If you want to get into history comparing apples to apples...I fondly remember a lot of NFL Central Division Championships with the Vikes. Many more than the pack have won. Especially considering their losing ways from 1973 to 1995 when the Vikes dominated them.  Vikes Central/North Division Championships 1968 (NFL Central) 1969 (NFL Central) 1970 (NFC Central) 1971 (NFC Central) 1973 (NFC Central) 1974 (NFC Central) 1975 (NFC Central) 1976 (NFC Central) 1977 (NFC Central) 1978 (NFC Central) 1980 (NFC Central) 1989 (NFC Central) 1992 (NFC Central) 1994 (NFC Central) 1998 (NFC Central) 2000 (NFC Central) 2008 (NFC North) Packs Central/North Division Championships: 1972 (NFC Central) 1995 (NFC Central) 1996 (NFC Central) Superbowl Win 1997 (NFC Central) 2002 (NFC North) 2003 (NFC North) 2004 (NFC North) 2007 (NFC North) The pack had one title in the 70s and NONE in the 80s. The early part of the 90s the drought continued. The Vikes have had plenty of winning seasons since our division was created. Once they get their modern era Super Bowl the pack will need to take a back-seat to the bears and Vikes in the NFC North.
