British

Hi, I thought I'd just say hello as I'm new in these parts. I love what you've done with the place, it looks like a great stack of Packers highlights to get my teeth into and some intelligent Packer fans to discuss them and other topics with.

I live in England and have been a Packer fan for about three years, which was when I first discovered the game. I enjoy British sports but for me there is nothing like 'American' Football. The almost socialistic draft, salary cap, revenue sharing and knock out playoff system is brilliant for giving hope to all fans.

Strangely whilst the 'last shall be first' draft order dominates US sports in the traditionally socialistic Europe our soccer teams are run in a pure capitalistic way with the big, rich, successful teams getting bigger and richer while the small teams struggle along for decades.

Anyway, the Packers stood out as an obvious choice when I was choosing to select a team to follow. A unique ownership model, plucky underdog small town vibe, great tradition, unusual name and imo cool uniform colours.

Cheers

Welcome!

But, you have it all wrong. 'Intelligent Packer fans'? Oxymoronic, if you ask me.

No worries, keep posting, and you'll discover that the purple-priders will shine the glorious light of truth upon your wrongful ways. 🙂

Welcome.

Nice way to link this to socialism and capitalism. Very interesting.

Ps. Our lawn ornament does nothing but speak jibberish. We'd trade him in for a new one but he can still serve a purpose as our site jester.

Urgh. I turned off Beethoven's Emperor Concerto to watch this stupid video.

British - Welcome. Beware our Purple friends. They're good folks, just a little bit, um, weird.

    beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
    beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
    Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
