I was at work today,(I manage a Liquor store between the Airport and the Las Vegas Strip.),When a couple arrives in a limo from the airport.The Gentleman is wearing a Packer Hat.We get into the usual where you from in Wisconsin,Packs looks good this year,yada yada.I help them with the questions they have and make some suggestions on what they should purchase.About this time the owner shows up with some product that I need to help him unload.As Im standing out side with the owner,the Gentleman with the Pack hat is by his limo putting away their purchases ,and waves me over.He asks me am I really a huge Packer Fan?I tell him YOU BET I AM!!!! He say's he has someone he wants me to meet.
He opens the door to the Limo and who should be sitting in it. WILLIE DAVIS!!!!!!!!!! Former DE from 1960-1969.We chatted for a minute and they took off for the Hotel.He seemed extra happy that the Vikings bit the dust Thursday nite.
Stuff like this never happens to me.I'm taking it as a sign from the football gods that the Pack is going to have a Great season.

That's a REALLY neat story!
I have seen Willie a few times at Fan Fest. I haven't got his autograph yet though.

I didn't even think about an autograph,I was just happy to meet the man and shake his hand.It's been a great couple of weeks here in Vegas. 30,000 Badger Fans last weekend,(I had a young couple from Grafton stop by on the way from the airport Cheesey.),and meeting Willie Davis this weekend.

Bump.
I just had to revisit this thread after the N.F.C.C. game.I think when I said "a great season" I might have underestimated it a tad?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : Nick Collins and Morgan Burnett have signed with the PACK

packerfanoutwest (4h) : he won't be wearing #12, maybe he will wear number two

packerfanoutwest (4h) : He will fail this season, should have retired

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Thus the cycle of Hall of Fame Packer QBs going to the Jets and then the Vikings is broken

bboystyle (9h) : Rodgers to steelers on 1 year contract

Zero2Cool (17h) : It's the cycle of civilizations. Get lazier, lazier, softer, softer and vanish.

Martha Careful (18h) : great point. every aspect of society, including art, culture and sports has degraded.

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Green Bay sweep meant something to society about stopping pure excellence. We have the tush push now

dfosterf (4-Jun) : We old Martha.

Martha Careful (4-Jun) : *front four

Martha Careful (4-Jun) : Re frout four, I wish we had some Green "People Eaters" or a fearsome foursome

dfosterf (4-Jun) : *directions*

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Just don't ask him for driving direct

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Jim Marshall was an all-time great DE for the Purple People Eaters. Didn't like him. That's a compliment. RIP

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : ooppppss

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : “Kenny Clark played all of last season hurt by the way and got surgery to fix it in January”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Probably his toe. Pretty much a great center. Toe injuries are brutal to bigen

Mucky Tundra (2-Jun) : Lions All-Pro C Frank Ragnow retires

wpr (30-May) : It's all good.

beast (30-May) : Yeah, and I enjoyed your comments and just attempted to add to it. Sorry if I did it incorrectly.

wpr (30-May) : Beast I never said Henderson was the salt of the earth. Nor even that he was correct. Just quoting the guy.

Zero2Cool (29-May) : What did you do??

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would

packerfanoutwest (27-May) : Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers, just another rumor

dfosterf (27-May) : Go watch 2001

Zero2Cool (26-May) : 1984
