Found this earlier today @ the WSJ in Madtown.

2. Not all of their fans are as loyal as advertised. The Packers have a season-ticket waiting list of about 86,000, and a turnover of about only 90 tickets a year — meaning it might take nearly 1,000 years to get a seat. But plenty of greedy Green Bay fans this week have been reselling their playoff tickets on StubHub and similar secondary market sites.

There were still more than 1,600 tickets for sale Friday on StubHub alone, ranging anywhere from $139 to $12,936 for Suite 4000, whatever that is. In fact, that concept is so obnoxious it becomes our next reason . . .

3. The Packers have a Suite 4000, not a suite-for-thousands.

(columnist’s note: is “offerees” even a word?)

Yes

5. Where’s the “B”?

An organization must be pretty arrogant to believe one letter is good enough to represent two proper nouns.

That's a bit rich coming from a New Yorker.

Er...what was with all the Gint fans in the first row giving low fives to the Gints after the game?

Fucking Gints.

I don't want any of these four teams left to win.

Giants: NYers. Arrogant assholes. Bleh.
49ers: Harbaugh. Alex Smith. No one should have more super bowls than the packers. Bleh.
Ravens: Yuck. Harbaugh Deux. Ray Lewis. Bleh.
NE: Bleh Bleh Bleh.

Oh well. I have a lot of work backed up. It isn't as if I can't find anything to do on weekends.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Anyone at Lambeau, why did it seem like on TV that there were a ton of Giants fans there? Was there? Like when Cruz caught balls, I could hear the Crrruz chat on TV. Why do people sell tickets to the other team's fans, its GB, can't you find a buyer that is a GB fan?
