Why today for an announcement? To answer that, today would have been Nick’s 32nd birthday and rather than be sad I wanted to mark the day with something positive. It is also my Grandma’s 75th birthday.

One of PackersHome’s intentions is to give Packers fans a unique experience, something that isn't found on your everyday run-of-the-mill internet communities. With that said, we’re going to talk a little bit about Trophies, and MintBaconDrivel.


Trophies
You may have noticed a few within the community have suddenly had trophies displayed in their userbox under their avatar. These trophies are given to those who have placed 3rd or better in the annual PackersHome contests over the last five years. Over said period of time we have held a Pick’em league through an Excel spreadsheet (that was a pain!) and Yahoo!. We have held Fantasy Football on ESPN, Yahoo! and FleaFlicker and we have also held NCAA March Madness tournaments on ESPN and Yahoo!

Current Contests and Platform
[list]
  • Fantasy Football will continue to be held on FleaFlicker.com

  • NCAA March Madness will continue to be held on Yahoo.com

  • NFL Pick'em will now be held right here  at PackersHome.com with the application we have developed. Best part, no additional registration needed![/list]


  • Trophies page
    Up above, you'll notice a new page titled "trophies". You can see all the past winners as well as 2nd and 3rd place finishers. We are still trying to peg down the full 3 place finalists for some of the contests.



    Prizes
    Starting with the winners of the 2013 PackersHome NFL Pick’em and Fantasy Football, each will receive Green Bay Packers memorabilia. Pretty damn cool huh?

    You certainly know PackersHome is a strictly Not For Profit (never have we accepted any of the numerous - and generous - donation offers) website so where is this money coming from? No, Kevin didn’t win the lottery. 😢

    The last few months we have been experimenting with Sponsor ads for Guests (people not logged in) and the money earned isn’t much, but it should be enough to purchase and ship three items per year. If not, we will foot the bill because without the community at PackersHome, there is no PackersHome and this is our way of saying thank you.



    MintBaconDrivel
    The relentless effort of MintBaconDrivel to bring all of the best Packers news and articles to PackersHome effectively makes PackersHome your one stop shop for everything Packers. When news breaks, MintBaconDrivel will have it here for you to see within minutes! That’s impressive!!




    We at PackersHome thank you for making this site as great and special as it is. We will continue to provide more and more features while we enjoy watching the Packers win their 14th, 15th, 16th …etc NFL Championships! Go Pack Go!

    Zero2Cool (1h) : The menu you expanded to log in, it's the first icon under "PackersHome" .. maybe i should add text to it
    dfosterf (1h) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes
    Zero2Cool (2h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon
    dfosterf (2h) : Can't find the toggle, lol
    dfosterf (2h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
    Zero2Cool (2h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
    dfosterf (2h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
    dfosterf (2h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
    dfosterf (3h) : *Friday*
    dfosterf (3h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
    dfosterf (3h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
    dfosterf (3h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
    dfosterf (3h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
    Zero2Cool (3h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
    dfosterf (3h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
    dfosterf (3h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
    packerfanoutwest (3h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
    beast (3h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
    beast (3h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
    beast (3h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
    beast (3h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
    dfosterf (4h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
    dfosterf (4h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
    dfosterf (4h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
    dfosterf (4h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
    beast (10h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
    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) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
    Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!
    Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”
    Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years
    Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea
    dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize
    dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
    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 ; )
    dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
    Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
    Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
    Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
    Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
    Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
    Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
