How I became a Packer Fan

I have been a Packer fan ever since I was interested in football at 6 or 7 (1966 - 1967) My older brother was a Bart Starr/Packer Fan - and he converted me. I had to endure the losing seasons all of my teen life up to 22 and then have enjoyed the current success. Losing Brett Favre was tough - but I came to the realization that since we have lost other players before, I never switched teams - so I am a true Packer fan. I watch every game with my friend (converted Packer Fan) - and bleed green and gold. I am an Idaho native, so no connection to Wisconsin - other than rooting for the Packers.

That reminds of a joke.

There are two potatoes. Do you know which one is the prostitute?

The one that says "Idaho."
