I bought my share at 8:15 this morning. I lied my way out of a staff meeting because I didn't want to risk missing out;). I'd rather have one measly share of Packer stock than to own the entire Cowboys franchise.

DakotaT: As a father of three, I can't begin to imagine what you've been through. Best wishes to you and your daughter.

You boys read the "fine print"?

Better not be critical of the NFL/teams/players....etc.......
...."the Commissioner has the authority to fine such shareholder in an amount not in excess of $500,000"...

Or if you make any wagers....
...."the Commissioner may fine such shareholder in an amount not in excess of $5,000"...

Bwaahaaa....[grin1]

Be careful what you do or say, Cheeseheads 
...The NFL Rules prohibit conduct by shareholders of NFL member clubs that is detrimental to the NFL, including, among other things, owning a financial interest in any other NFL member club or other professional football organization; loaning money to other NFL member clubs or any player, coach or employee thereof or any football official employed by the NFL; acting as an agent for any NFL player; publicly criticizing any NFL member club or its management, employees
or coaches or any football official employed by the NFL; or paying an NFL player or coach.

If the Commissioner of the NFL(the “Commissioner”) decides that a shareholder of an NFL member club has been guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL then, among other things, the Commissioner has the authority to fine such shareholder in an amount not in excess of $500,000 and/or require such shareholder to sell his or her stock.
In addition, if the Commissioner determines that a shareholder has bet on the outcome or score of any game played in the NFL, among other things, then the Commissioner may fine such shareholder in an amount not in excess of $5,000 and/or require such shareholderto sell his or her stock.

If the Commissioner requires a shareholder to sell his or her stock, then the Corporation may
have a right to repurchase the stock at $0.025 per share......



Oh, and I love the "buy back" price....$0.025 per share

The Packers reported that on the Tuesday in the first 2 hours and 20 minutes, 28,000 shares of Packer shares were sold. That is more than 10% of the available shares.

Some dweeb on CNN.com wrote an article about the Packers shares and the negatives of owning one. He couldn't even cite the Green Bay Press Gazette properly, which should not be a surprise as the author is a Dallas fan.



The reason vikesrule knows so much about the fine print is because he bought six shares as it's the closest thing to greatness he'll ever own ... until he admits his blood is green and gold of course.

Bought my share last nite after work. This part in the rules made me chuckle.I'll put it in the "Wink,Wink,Nudge,Nudge." file.

Packers non-stock stock flies off the shelves 

by Gregg Rosenthal

Plenty of Packers fans made sure on Tuesday that they ordered Packers stock in time to put the certificate under the Christmas tree.

The Packers wouldn’t provide complete numbers on how many shares they sold Tuesday, but 28,000 shares were sold in the first two hours and twenty minutes alone, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

At $250 apiece, thats $7 million of revenue in less than three hours. 250,000 shares are available overall, which means the Packers can (and probably will) make $62.5 million from the stock sale by the time it’s over.

The Packers are essentially printing money and don’t have to do anything for it. More power to them.

On one hand, it seems insane that a certificate which entitles its owner to virtually nothing could be such a cash cow. On the other hand, I’d probably buy it for my dad if he happened to be a diehard Packers fan. (He’s not.)

It’s worth wondering if other teams could somehow replicate this business model, but the fantasy of “ownership” just wouldn’t make sense in any other town.

Despite that, we are considering a sale of PFT stock to all our readers. It will cost the same as a year’s subscription to the site.

The stock gives you a lifetime opportunity to attend shareholder meetings which includes a number of free perks. Since buying my share in 1997 and making it to about 10 meetings thus far, that's about $20/outing to date and the cost goes down each year.

People also forget the majority of Wisconsin toilet paper is shipped to Minnesota for Viking home games. A lot of asses get wiped on those weekends.

dfosterf (3m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (4m) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (5m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

packerfanoutwest (9m) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (14m) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (15m) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
