Why this week means so very much to me.

I am Raider Pride. That alone places me below most of you, as a Packer Fan is concerned.

I can not hold a candle to a Packer Fan like Zero. It is not even close.

I can not compare myself to Longtime, nor macbob. I certainly can not understand the passion of since69 (Even though I do not see eye to eye with him as far as what a fan should be.) Fact is Since69 on game day has more right to be a fan of this special team than do. . He has earned that right.

Twinkie... I do not know. I think we may be tied as Packer Fans.

Dexter you are above me, Pack92Z is way,way way above me. Peteralan has more right to cheer The Green and Gold than I do. I am not even in the same ball park as Greg C.

I could go on and on, and on and on about people here on this great site that deserve this week more than I.

However.... I love this team. I love this organization,

I loved Ted since he put the plan together. I thought Mike was a GREAT coach but might be a coach that could not take it to the Super Bowl. I was wrong.

Why this week means so very much to me.

It is about anticipation and confidence. It is about visualizing victory. It is about one more for Vince even though he is long gone.

It is about seeing Mike being recognized for the talent loss he had to overcome with every injury and get the most out of the room.


This week for me is about the hope and wish that Mark and Ted will be cherished in Green Bay and have their place marked on the hallowed ground that they work 65 hours a week right now.


I cherish my NFC team The Packers. I cherish them as much as I cherish the Raiders.


THIS WEEK FOR ME MEANS CHUCK WOODSON WEARING A RING FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.


THIS WEEK FOR ME MEANS AARON STEPPING INTO A CLASS HE SHOULD BE IN BASED ON HIS COMMITMENT.


THIS WEEK FOR ME MEANS DONALD DRIVER, THE VETS ON THE O LINE AND EVERY SINGLE PACKER WEARING THE BLING FOR THE REST OF THIER LIFE;

SO... THE QUESTION IS....

WHAT DOES THIS WEEK MEAN TO YOU?

What does the week mean to me.. depends on the portion of me in question.

The football fan in me.. that one that consumes this game with a non-ending passion.. it means everything to me.

It is my team.. the colors I bleed on full display for the world to embrace and witness for a few short hours without distraction.

The pride and joy.. the dreams never lived that reside in me.

And I couldn't be prouder of this franchise before you all.

It really matters not the outcome come next Sunday.. just that they display the heart, the sportsmanship and the honor of this great franchise.. and leave it all upon the field.

And I will forever continue to embrace those colors.. pump those colors within and enjoy the moment.

To be honest ...
Them winning 'could' mean I may be getting married.

- a little background -

I lost my job 6 months ago; met this Great woman near that time and we pretty much had a whirlwind romance - moved in with her shortly after we met.

my time here in london is nearly up (end of may); unless I can find an employer that will 'take me on'.

My girlfriend and I have 'discussed' marriage and each of us feels it still is a bit soon; but both of us care alot about each other and this is our ultimate goal in a relationship.

We both do not want to get married because of circumstances (my visa); I told her we must choose to be masters of our circumstances...

To make a long story short - If the packers win; I win enough money to 'perhaps' cover the small personal wedding she has talked about (getting married in a church in rome and inviting a small number of friends to it).
The ring I have covered
- I obtained a ring from my grandmother over christmas -

My girlfriend pretty much pays for all the bills where we live and my savings are pretty much tapped.

I would like to be able to come to her and tell her that if we choose to get married I have enough money for us to do her little weddings in rome like she wants too.


... now this doesnt mean if they don't then win its off the table - it just may mean the circumstances may be different

I do not know what the future may hold for me and my girlfriend; but I do know if the Packers win - I may be smiling a little more the following day 🙂

What does this week mean to me?

It means I was right all those years ago (1983 to be exact) to have chosen the pack to support.

I am stoked when on facebook that my nephews, sisters, daughter and son are posting about the Packers, especially my nephews. They finally get my love for this team. I even think we have a few more fans on this side of the pond now because of me going on and on and on and on about the pack.

I cannot wait for the 6th to come.

I truly believe this is our year.

Though no matter what happens this team has been unbelievable this season despite all the adversity and I think we will be at the top of the tree for quite a few years to come.

What does this week mean to me?

Exhilaration that my Packers are in the Superbowl again.
Worry that maybe I'm not doing all I can to help them.
Restlessness as I wait for the 6th.
Dread because afterward there won't be any more football for a while.
Relief that I was wrong about what would happen to this team after Brent left.
Delight that this organization is receiving the kudos it deserves.
Luck that I root for such a great team.
Pride that I have done so for the last 42 years.

RP, you have as much right to be a Packer fan as anyone. Just because you support another team as well doesn't preclude you from having the right to enjoy greatness. (Ok I will add a Bears-Vikings exemption.)

I have been a fan for a very very long time. 60's. It doesn't make me any better of a fan that a "johnny come lately" like Zero. ::razz: Just older.

The week is enjoyable. Unfortunately I have a lot of extra stuff on my plate so I can not spend hours upon hours sifting thru all the media stuff.

It is funny how far information has come. When I was a kid living near Peoria I desperately wanted to find out any information I could about the Packers. There was very little of it in Central IL. Now in this day and age even Rockmolder in the Netherlands can get his fill.

I shall describe what this week, nay, this TEAM, means to me in the form of an acronym.

Fullfillment of each weekend
Unbeleivable highs and lows
Companionship level with others that I never would have expected
Keeps me even closer with my family

Yellow and Green blood running through my cheese-filled veins
Obtained more happiness than I could imagine
Uncontrollable rage at times, but a wife that is Understanding :)

Both warm heart and headaches
Elation even during the preseason
A website that I can call home
Revelation that I am part of what makes the Packers so great: their fan base.
Sensational excitement that I cannot seem to find anywhere else.


Wow. That was more difficult that I had originally guessed it would be!

Oh totally. I mean, I'm sure you were there watching every week as Lynn Dickey took the team down the field, right?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.
