Some of you know, I now live in Colorado, about an hour from Denver. There's a good amount of Bronco's fans here as you'd expect.

I sport a black fleece with a Packers logo on it and all week long I've been getting random folks saying "GO PACK GO" with their fist in the air like they are having an adrenaline rush while saying it.

It's pretty neat. When I got here, I was surprised to see as many Packers fans here as there are. Even my landlord (they are from WI) are huge Packers fans.

A fellow developer, Sean is from Philadelphia and is of course an Eagles fan. I told him he was going down, he didn't disagree with me, lol. He and I both agreed the game could easily go one way or the other and it should be a very good game.

Others ask us if there's a friendly wager on the game. I don't much care for that (obvious by my lack of participation in the Vikings bet here) and neither of us are interested.



More to the point, it's just cool walking through the building and having random people telling me "kick ass this weekend" as if I'm a player or have any control. Rourke will like this, a woman came up to me an said "think you'll pull it out Sunday?" ...

They are everywhere Zero.

I was in Vancouver on Tuesday and I did something horrible.

I was at the liquor store standing in line and a guy got into line behind me. He was wearing a Packer Jacket and a Packer hat. I did not say a word to him. He was right behind me.

I do not know what prompted me to do this, but I just did it.

I pretended to call my brother on my cell. I then pretended to ask my brother if he entered the Highwayman NFL Playoff pool (A local bar) then after a few seconds of silence like I was listening to him, I said "No.. Darryl do not take the Packers, It was just on the radio that Rodgers broke his ankle in this mornings practice."

I heard the guy behind me say "Oh Christ."

LOL I just kept pretending I was talking... Paid for my bottle and walked out.

for this "shocking the packer nation" action you deserve a urine sample of jay cutler in your bottle rather than your preferred liquor 😃

I had that alot out in California, and I was shocked at how many Packer jerseys I saw, and to top it off each monday I was there the Packers were on the front page of the sports section
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

That reminds me. Thousands of years ago, back in 1988, long before I even knew what the Internet was, I was standing in line to see Batman (the good one, not the overrated remake made recently). Some guy came out of the theater with his friend and said really loudly "oh man, I can't believe Batman died!"

I tried to do that to a Raider fan, but I couldn't find any. They also didn't have a player that they would miss in the playoffs.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Running the risk of derailing this thread, but someone needs to set you straight.

Batman '89
Batman Returns '92
Batman Begins '05
The Dark Knight '08

Those are the only four Batman flicks that are worth the time of day. The other ones are embarrassment to the franchise.

Alright. I was one year off. It was 1989. Happens when you get to be my age.

Yes, the Dark Knight. That one was the overrated one. I kept hearing everyone and their Grandma saying it was the best superhero movie ever. It was ok, and that's it.

Thus you watched it with extremely high expectations and there's no movie that lives up to that hype. Blame your ears, not the movie.

Heath did a great job with Joker.


Best to ignore everyone's opinions of movies and go into it "blind" in my ... opinion. haha
