Hi, all,
A friend from another Packers Board suggested I stop by and check you guys out. Place looks impressive -- I expect to visit often.

(Or at least until people get tired of my longwindedness and other oddities. :icon_smile: )

Been a Packer fan since the days of Taylor, Nitschke, and Starr. Starr's my favorite all-time Packer. Still haven't made my first visit to the "new Lambeau," but I expect to get there before my spot on the season ticket list (somewhere south of #30,000) comes up.

My biggest concern with the current team remains the OL, so that's where you might see me ranting most frequently.

Have spent most of my life being useless (i.e., in higher ed). Been teaching econ and econ history since 1987, and likely some of those early students are still sleeping. And expect some of the ones this fall will do so as well. In attempt to be less useless, started my own business of sorts a couple years ago -- but no one has to worry about the competition just yet.

I'm assuming "politics" and "religion" are more or less no-nos here, but full disclosure requires that I also admit to being a Christian anarchist -- former forever, latter at least until American "politics" shows it can choose alternatives better than the likes of Obama and the younger Bush. I doubt you'll hear much "God or politics" stuff from me, though. God is too personal, and politics just depreses me -- and I don't come to Packer boards to be depressed. But I believe in transparency: just think of this paragraph as having provided you with two more means of ad hominem attack when I go "loony" down the line.

Because you might see me go off on lecture mode occasionally in my posts about the OL or Ted Thompson or artificial turf. Though my main intellectual (and business) schtick is "listening", I'm still a professor who loves to hear himself talk. See this post. Ahem.

More later. Again, place looks great!

Go Pack!
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.

Wade, from your post, I expect a lot from you, my ugly tinted friend. Just be sure to post often and prepare to fight with the Lions for the cellar of the NFC North. 😛

Formo,
Have you heard about the Vikings? They actually discovered the "New World" about 500 years before Columbus. But instead of hanging out in America, they went back to Scandinavia so they could invent lutefisk.

Or was it that the longboat of Sven Liefson on their next attempted transatlantic crossing sunk due to an overabundance of warm ...er, nevermind, I'm always getting my history mixed up.

And people are surprised that they've never won a Super Bowl?

:)

Thanks for the warm welcome, all. And, dfosterf, please keep up the hyperbole. It does me ego fine, it does. :thumbright:

We even have one fan that roots against the Packers so Ted Thompson will be fired! (He doesn't really root against them, I'm joking, but he dislikes Ted Thompson haha.)

Welcome 🙂
