Heartbreaker... Heartbreaker...
 Packers 1st Place NFC North!!! 10-2..."Heart Breaker, Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Heart Breaker Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, I wanna tear your world apart" Mick and the Stones never had the Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys game in mind... but they pretty much sang it right. BeerScout picked a new bar, The Parlor, for watching the game tonight, and it was crowded, and loud, you could yell at the top of your lungs and barely hear yourself. A perfect atmosphere for a Thursday night game between 10-1 teams. It was half Packers fans, half Cowboys fans, and somehow there was another half of Anti-Cowboys fans (Eagles and Broncos the most obvious), but in the end, it was all the cute Cowboys girls that gave us the most grief. For example, when I yelled out "the thing I hate the most about this game" her quick reply was that "because we're winning", nice comeback, but I was referring to CB Al Harris running around with his head up his ass not having any clue where the ball was, but she burned me. Then at the end, another cute one gave me the "I root for you guys when you're not playing us" and I'm left with the "well, thank you" but you know, I didn't mean it. Flippin' Eh! I gave them that old "see yah in January" which is all one can say at that point. No mistaken it, the Packers will end up as the #2 seed (even if Brett misses games due the dinged elbow and now revealed separated left shoulder) and the Pack doesn't fear anyone, so they'll be back in the NFC Championship Game against the Cowboys in Dallas again, you know, like the 90's. The Cowboys beat us 37-27 and take away a few mistakes by Brett Favre, some odd play calling when it matter most in the early part of the game, outstanding play by backup QB Aaron Rodgers, who I've mentioned many times, is the 2nd best QB in the NFC North, and well yeah, they beat us. Flippin' Eh! BeerKid - Be Pack 4 Life!!! |
| _______________________________ I was so sure we were going to win that I placed a non-monetary bet a friend and now I gotta wear his phreaking Romo jersey to poker today (why God why!) instead of him wearing the Pink Favre jersey I ordered with overnight shipping (He didn't specify the color of the jersey). This is so humiliating! We are the better team! We would have won the game if it wasn't for the refs! Forward progress, my ***! Harris clearly stripped him! The refs were so inconsistent. We got called for every little thing, while they were bumping past the 5 on every play. 143 yards of penanties on ticky tack BS! The only way games will ever be fair to make every play challengable... and if you win your challenge, you should still be able to challenge. If you're wrong twice then you're out of challenges, but if you're right every time (as McCarthy was) you should still be able to throw the red flag. Anyhow, Go Pack and... the Bears still suck!  Ryan in Phoenix_______________________________ At least the 2007 Cowboys are not nearly as much as a bunch of asswads as the 90s versions. Last night's game was downright sportsmanshipy. heinderman _______________________________ No pass rush, no coverage, poor o-line blocking... We'll be OK. I give a lot of credit to Coach Mac. He doesn't hesitate to change players around (Colledge) if they aren't producing. Lotta season left for T.O. to make an ass out of himself. My favorite Madden quote "Winning is the best deodorant". Always wondered, "Do the stars on the cowgirl cheerleader uniforms stand for how many times jerry jones nailed em"? Boz Hey Boz, in regards to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, if they placed a star for every fan Jerry and his NFL Network negotiating tactics screwed over... it would be a map of the Milky Way galaxy _______________________________ Beer Kid: I can't take Bigby much longer. He can't cover, he's slow, and he makes stupid penalties every week. He is a thug. I wish Holmgren were on the sidelines to grab him by the facemask and then send him to the bench like he did to Schroeder on national TV. How many 15 yard penalties does he committ before he finds himself on the bench? Terrible. Frank - Real Stuff Sports Hey Frank, they (who-ever they are) keep saying his aggressiveness makes up the few mistakes and penalties he gets in a game... but the ripping the helmut off the Cowboys player late in the 4th quarter... it was a frustrating game for everyone. _______________________________ few thoughts BK. 1)why was the offensive game plan changed after the first drive? went from ball controlled passing to the long ball. do not these receivers lead the league in yards after the catch? and the gimmick plans? grant tossing back to favre for long incompletion into double coverage. 2)why such poor officiating in such a BIG game? the pick by harris on the first cowboy series. that is a potential 10 point swing. instead of the 'boys tying the game, the pack gets the ball near midfield and maybe drives for 7. that changes alot as far as momentum and play calling AND confidence in the young packers minds. also, the interference call in the 4th quarter on tramon williams. looked uncatchable and unintentional, just part of the game. one ref is calling incomplete one is not sure what to call. then they throw the flag as players are trotting back to the huddle! the camera was even moving back up field. that gave them a short 4 yards for TD. i guess the zone coverage on defense was due to the loss of woodson. i agree with the outstanding play of rodgers. Looked like the true successor. also, if that is all the cowboys have at full force/no injuries then i predict, if healthy, an NFC championship victory in DALLAS by the GREEN AND GOLD! nashvegas packer fan _______________________________ Did anybody else catch this priceless quote from Bryant Bumble last night? "The Cowboys don't want to see Al Harris banging on Terrel Owens all night." Everybody at our table looked at each other and burst out laughing. We don't want to see that either! That would be on a different channel altogether!! Bumble needs to watch his dirty little mouth. Heh. Heh-heh. Heh. GumbelBumble _______________________________ I think Favre's leaving the game and the Pack still having a shot at victory is the BEST thing to happen so far this year. Favre should realize even more that winning does not depend solely on him, and the rest of the players should gain confidence from the fact they were still in the game without him. Sure, 11-1 would've been nice, but this timely stumbling block cannot but make this Packer team better. Besides, we're 10-2, would have to completely fold to avoid being NFC North Champs, and will most likely play one of our two playoff games at Lambeau. Whoo Hooo! Ruvell Martin watch: one more catch, one more 1st down, giving him 13 of 14 for 1st downs to go with his 3 TDs this year. (BK, A happy byproduct of the Greedy Bastards'actions: most of the old 90's game day regulars were assembled at the House of TV for the game. Brats and burgers were grilled, chili stewed, and noone was worried about being "overserved" Leine's. A great time!)  The Knievel is dead. Long live the Evel!Go Pack.......GO! Evel Knievel was an inspiration to all of neighboorhood kids and our classic banana seated Sting Ray bicycles. He was an X-Games guy long before his time. _______________________________ Favre will play against Oakland. It was a funny-bone that lead to numbness in a throwing had that passes 95% of the time, forget the shoulder. Thankful to be 10-2, GO PACKERS! Schrades _______________________________ Packer Paul - Just looked... Jerry Jones is on the NFLs NFL Network Committee. It's splitting hairs I know... He's still the devil incarnate, no question about that. I Love Lamp _______________________________ got a bit tipsy last night... passed out in the third quarter. Blasted night games. Well, as my friend Brent says, "you can't drink all day unless you start first thing in the morning". One thing I do remember, we all knew we odds against going 15-1 were stacked against the Pack. However, going 14-2 is much more realistic -- and with the Raiders, Rams, Bears, and Lions up next, victory shall be ours. GO PACK GO. little too much captain in me _______________________________ Bryant Gumble still sucks. Who the hell gave this guy a job as a football commentator? I would rather listen to Bill Maas on crack holding a hand gun to his biotches head than hear the hamster dribble that comes out of Gumbles blow hole. Geeez. "I do love Brett Favre though. If Brett Favre wasn't Brett Favre, then Brett Favre wouldn't be Brett Favre" (an actual quote). J. Madden Hey JM, the Bar was so loud I didn't hear 1 word from the TV Announcers... I count myself lucky. _______________________________ Hey Madden - good catch. I was more annoyed that Bryant kept confusing the Packers and Cowboys. He was even making stupid quotes like "I was talking to head coach Mike McCarthy before the game and he was saying how Marian Barber is the center of the Packers offense." That, in conjunction with the complete 180 in our offensive strategy was too much to handle. In other news - I did not find it odd that Brett couldn't make anything happen when he decided to play the Packers 2005 offense. Then he gets dinged and Aaron Rodgers comes in and plays the Packers 2007 offense and it works just fine. Is anybody with me in thinking that if we had come in there and played the same style we have been, we'd have been just fine? A Flea Flicker? WTF is that? Direct Snap to Driver... I can see that, but a freakin Flea Flicker? All I really saw was that the offense McCarthy installed this year works. It works people! I'm just hoping that maybe he is planning to have to play Dallas again anyway, so why bother showing off the good stuff now? All tolled, it might be better to play in Dallas in January anyway. Lastly - can someone please explain to me two things: 1) How can Al Harris take the ball away from TO, and that is somehow "not" a strip? I'm not saying anything... I'm just saying that would have been quite the momentum change early in the game. 2) How can TO score a touchdown and grab popcorn from a fan and "not" be flagged for using props or celebration or whatever? Again, I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying someone should see if the Line Judge's children are looking to get into any universities at which Jerry Jones has some pull. I Love Lamp _______________________________ Was it just me, BeerKid............. Or did it look like the Pack played to lose? Favre looked like shit lobbing long balls into double coverage. What happened to what they've been running all year? O-line sucked, College started out bad. They played basic defense.... they're saving the more sophisticated game plans for the BIG games I hope. One play there where T.O. stopped on the go route and Harris kept running.... looked as if Harris wasn't even paying attention. Dallas receivers running around freely. More pass interference penalties (doesn't surprise me w/Shotty Baby as coach), Collins w/another big play-less game and Bigby looking very average again. No pass rush. Maybe the Pack prefers Dallas for their passing game to Lambeau Field in January.... Either way they'll learn alot more from a lose than a win. They'd better be able to light it up against Dallas in the rematch or the NE Cheaters will stomp them in a SB. They'd better be able to make Dallas look as average, the next time around, as the Cheaters did. Long Live the Pack!!! Hey LLTP, yeah, I was ready to jump on the "Fire Schotty Now!" bandwagon after the game, but you know, the only way to stop Cowboys TE Jason Witten IS to have CB Al Harris leave his man in coverage and stop to cover the short zone, it's just that no other DB would ever pick up his man, and QB Tony Romo knows how to take advantage of WR's running wide open. S Nick Collins played horrible in his first game back, although I'll admit he looked hurt (shoulder, knee) but I'm looking forward to Aaron Rouse coming back into the starting line-up. _______________________________ Injuries + penalties (granted some were bad calls) + O-line inability to protect the passer + D-line inability to get to the passer + barely average KO returns + below average KO covedage + confused DBs = 10 pt. loss. A welcome 10 day rest and a tune up game against the Raiders is just what the doctor ordered as a cure. Win out and beat the 'boys in the NFC Championship game - the game that will really count. Goutman _______________________________ Injuries, tough breaks and iffy calls aside, the Cowboys won and deserved to win. That said I feel that the Pack would do better in a second meeting. Got to find a way to cover Witten though. He had too many drive sustaining catches. Dave in St. Louis _______________________________ A loss like this hurts, but I'm proud of the boys for hanging in there and making a game of it. And as a former Chicagoan... way to go Aaron.  One last thing... Sierra Nevada... nothing goes better with a Pale than a Packer game.Pottsie _______________________________ Ok.. so you beat us without Woodson and KGB, oh and... Brett Favre.. See you in the playoffs! Fat Oak _______________________________ Take the Bad with the Good. We are a young team but it's good to get important games prior to the playoffs and give us a little warm-up. Favre, Reggie is looking over you so get well bud. Pack4life _______________________________ Looking Foreward to the rematch. Next time The Pack WILL win. Diener34 _______________________________ DA-COWGIRLS STILL SUCK!! SO DOES JERRY JONES AND TONIGHTS OFFICIALS. MY BROTHER IN LAW INFORMED ME THAT JERRY JONES IS THE CEO OF THE NFL NETWORK, IS THAT RIGHT?? I THOUGHT AL HARRIS PLAYED LIKE SHIT AND SO DID CHAD CLIFTON. BRYANT GUMBEL COULD'NT CALL AN F'N HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. WHERE'S JOE THEISMAN? "SMOKING JOE" WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT. CAN YOU TELL I'M A BIT PISSED OFF? THE COWGIRLS DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN TONIGHT. MO-FO'S I AM SO TIRED OF JERRY JONES OWNING THOSE WORTHLESS REFS IN HIS F'N BACK POCKET. IF THERE IS A SATAN ON EARTH HE IS LIVING IN THE FORM OF JERRY JONES. MO FO ASSHOLE. I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND LIKE A VI-QUEEN FAN, BUT COACH McCARTHY BETTER GET INTO THE HEADS OF THE NFL AND LET THEM KNOW THAT SHOULD WE FACE DA-COWGIRLS IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THEIR BLATANT BULLSHIT CALLS ON THE PACK. GO PACK AND LET'S KICK THEIR ASS IN THE PLAYOFFS. PACKER PAUL - MINNEAPOLIS, MN. Hey Packer Paul, you should have been in The Parlor drinking Sierra Nevada (5 pints) and yelling as loud as you write, it was a good game, it was a frustrating game, they beat us when the Packers Defense was hurting bad, it hurts, but when wins like this were going around, you know eventually they had to come back around. But don't fear, there's no Reaper here and the Packers still have time to claim that Super Bowl prize _______________________________ OH Lordy, this is a tuff loss. Is Brett OK? Lemondrop Hi Lemondrop, listening to Brett Favre in the post-game radio conference, he said he banged his elbow, x-rays to come when they get back in Green Bay, but he separated his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He stuck around on the sidelines because the Packers only have 2 QB's, he might have had to come back in to take a snap. He also mentioned that in last years New England Patriots loss, he banged his throwing elbow much worse (more swelling) and he still played the following week. He gets 10 days to get ready for Raiders, and I'm no longer all that concerned about Aaron Rodgers' play anymore. _______________________________ The Pack went down swinging Like Glenn Miller, The Pack went down swinging Like Ali, The Pack went down swinging Like Lynn Dickey, The Pack went down swinging classicwisconsin Hey CW, nice Lynn Dickey line thrown in there... 2nd to none best arm, worst knees ever in Packers QB history _______________________________ |
Quoth Lombardi... |
 | There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again. |

Speak Out Spew Off...
 It's the biggest game of the year for both the Dallas Cowboys and for the Green Bay Packers, and the NFL Executives, the total bastards that they are, decided to use this game in the power-play to get every cable company in the USA to charge it's every single one of its customers 70 cents to carry the NFL Network. The Greedy Bastards (the NFL Executives) won't offer the citizens of the United States the NFL Ticket broadcast on Cable, restricted and recently extended to be on Satellite dish only, but hey, the biggest game in the NFC this year, and let's pigeon-hole the game so everyone will get angry and call their Cable Operators and demand that they put the most repetitive, lack of programming channel I've seen in a long time. I watched the NFL Network constantly for about 10 days a few weeks ago... I'm not impressed. Oh it's cool to have the constant NFL talk continuously going... but it only took a few days to realize I was seeing and hearing the same things over and over and over. Isn't that cheerleader commercial, the hot promotional one, isn't that the commercial they used to launch their network last year? J.H.Christ! They still show it 4 times a day. Vary it a little, puh-leaze! So the NFL is getting close to creating the proverbial 3 strikes and your out territory. First strike, they start talking about making more teams give up home games and play oversea's, combined with moving the Super Bowl overseas. That's a slap to the face of all NFL football fanatics. Did they charge 40-70$ a ticket for the London game earlier this year? My guess it was discounted way down to make sure the stadium was full, they should try that promotional gimmick with all the attendance-challenged teams here. Strike 2, moving games to the Pay-per-view model, that's fine, I guess, but don't you think that this Packers Cowboys game should have been the Sunday night NBC game? NFL Network will get it's highest ratings ever, but then FOX or NBC would have come close to same thing, and that would have meant double to triple that actual viewership. Way to go greedy NFL Bastards, take one of your sure to have been Top-5 rated games of the year and move it to a bottom tiered access channel. Oh by the way... Hey Greedy NFL Executives, how big is the fine going to be for the Pittsburgh Steelers Organization for not providing a quality field for last Monday nights game? The rain only made it worse, the field was total frickin' disaster before that. Laying new sod over the old damaged sod? Who's idea was that? Seriously, ESPN must want something back from the NFL for not providing a watch-able game, and if I was a Pittsburgh fan, I would ask for refund of my ticket for the Organization not providing a playable field for a football game. That mess was a complete joke. Now for the actual Packers Cowboys football game that 2/3rd's of America won't have the casual chance to watch. The Packers still have injured players in KGB and Charles Woodson, both are expected to play, but will they be playing at near 100%. Rookie DT Justin Harrell comes into this game as the 3rd DT, it's time for him to step up. The Packers defense has been the bedrock strength to the Packers 10-1 start this year. QB Brett Favre and the Packers offense really shouldn't have any trouble with the Dallas Defense, teams have scored a lot of points against the Cowboys this year, so no reason to believe that Green Bay can't do the same. The Cowboys... they have a decent up and coming QB in Tony Romo, they have 2 aggressive RB's, they have T.0., they have a defense can play, it appears to be an even match-up, but it's the Packers time to make a move to claim the #1 seed for the NFC playoffs this year. This weeks prediction: The Packers win a close one when Brett Favre throws a TD pass on the last play of the game and Packers come from behind and beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-25. BeerKid - Be Pack 4 Life! P.S. This week's lotto numbers might be 4, 20, 25, 31, 36 with 21 being the money ball. These numbers usually don't work for any lotto, but I like them none the less: 4, 15, 42, 66, and 92. |
| __________________________ Brett Favre is going to have a huge game and someone else is going to step up. I am interested to see what kind of play calling MM comes up with. Packers 30 Cowboys 24 52 min to game time! Go Pack Go!!!!! Witt Dog __________________________ Okay, I get the NFL network up here in Canaduh and I watch it on occasion. The thing that pisses me off the most about the NFL Net is the stupid promos over and over again. If I see that stupid Bears Super Bowl team again I am going to die. "We knew in that huddle that....." blah blah blah. Walter Payton did not get a SB TD. You suck. Also I hate that they use stupid handycams to shoot there footage. It looks like shit. I can only imagine what it looks like in HD. A buddy of mine told me that they use NFL marketing INTERNS as camera guys in GB. You know the footage sucks if some snot nosed, or short skirted, just out of college marketing intern is shooting it, it sucks. Man their training camp footage was terrible. I do like the NFL total access show and the Put up your Dukes show. Other than that, not a big fan. Pack 27 DallASS 10 - Go Pack Go!!!! Hamilton aka Sign Boy __________________________ Beerkid, Living in Madison WI, we are getting royally screwed on the game. Christ, the Governor has to go to his kids house to watch the game. Mecca and Milwaukee TV markets are the only ones able to see it minus Satellite. I myself put up the dish a month ago in anticipation of the sloth like speed this issue was going to be resolved. I don't know how you can defend the cable companies? It is Charter here, and they want to put it on a special sports tier and charge another $12/month. All the NFL wants is the same deal they have with Satellite, keep it on a basic package. Charter's other main reason? They don't want to add more channels that people don't want. Really, before I gave Charter their day of reckoning I was informed that I was getting two gov't channels and another "Lifetime" type channel. For Vince Sake!!!! You are right about the money, and someone is going to make a shit ton. But you know what, I don't care. If I am guaranteed an option to sit in my chair or go to the bar and watch the beloved Green and Gold, the only thing missing is a ice cold Spotted Cow. And THAT I can promise you will be in my fridge or local bar. Prediction: Packers 41 Dallas 27 Romo 4 ints and our DEF scores at least one TD. Go Pack Go (and F&%@ Da Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Big Oly 74 __________________________ Hey BK! Thanks for the lotto picks..... I'll give 'em a shot, what the heck. Two bucks won't hurt me.... & if I win anything substantial, you'll get 10%!  Here's a beef of mine. I still can't get over how they start these weekday games at 5:00. 5:00! Most of us here on the west coast aren't even punching off the clock yet! And now we have to somehow maneuver through traffic, (which usually is a 1-1/12 hr. commute anyway) to see any decent amount of the game! For me, once I get home, I still have about a 45 min drive to get to the Packer Club... so of course it's close to the 3rd qtr. by the time I can sit down, relax, and get into the game. Jeez! I mean, I know they bumped the time up for those on the east coast, but c'mon! What's one hour?! Keep the game at 6:00, this way we have a fighting chance to get home and see most of the game at least! Either way, if the game starts at 5 or 6, back east those people are already at home, relaxed and waiting for the start of the game. Am I alone here on this one?..... Anyway, even if I get there by the end of the half, I'm sure that whatever amount of it I get to see will still be a great game! I'm sure Harris will be all over T.O. so he'll only get a few receptions. They'll have to try to run it alot, which our defense will be all over that too! Go Kampman! Go Barnett! Go KGB! Put plenty of pressure on 'Schlomo' and their running backs, and we can wrap this one up! #1 in the NFC!! Let's get that home-field advantage! Go Pack Go!! Lady K - Packer Club of Hemet, Ca. __________________________ Yo, Beerkid... one little item that does not seem to be discussed much in the lead-up to the Dallas game... team speed! The Packers are the youngest team in the league, and with youth comes speed... and speed kills in the NFL. Our team could actually benefit from playing on the turf in Dallas. Imagine guys like Kampmann, KGB, Jenkins and Williams on the DL... their first step/burst is already killer, now add turf...the Dallas OL is all about power, their weakness is speed. LBs, same thing. The WR's speed and precision in an out of their cuts should also benefit... adding to an already dynamic passing attack. I am stoked for this one...hey, add another "first" to the illustrious career of #4. Needless to say, I am taking Friday off. Chimay for you, Chimay for me... why stop at one, make it three!! Scott "Formerly Drunk On Water Street"  Hey Scott, gotcha hooked on Chimay did I now... and you're right, the Packers do have incredible speed at all the positions on the team. __________________________ You gotta read this great story on the real ironman of professional sports Favre is the Ultimate Iron Man Oh yeah, my prediction - Packers 34, Cowgirls 24. Goutman Goutman, that's a great article, thanks! __________________________ i think it's terrible that we pay so much for cable and now some people will not be able to see the games. everything is about the almighty dollar i guess. anna Hi Anna, just remember that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is in charge of this mess and it's his greedy ego that he put on the line for this game, now 2/3rd's of the USA is not going to even have a chance to be watching it, the NFL doesn't have another game ('cept the Patriots-Giants game on NFL Network last weekend of the year) that will come anywhere close to the ratings that this game would have gotten if it had been on FOX or NBC. The NFL has lost a large chunk of money on this game. The worst part is that they may not care at all on how they treat us fans. __________________________ Theres some good teaser videos I found on the game. Check them out, Packer fans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbojDybP49g same guy - Showdown I - www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwMLvVHPERg&feature=user and Showdown II - www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xtBDhuAN4&feature=user Gees----makes me wish it was finally Thursday Night! GO PACK GO!!! Lemondrop __________________________ Admittedly, the NFL's actions seem to be counter their own best interests (Profitable businesses are usually so despite themselves.), but $.70/month for the NFL Network? Big deal. Wouldn't BK pay $8.40 to see just this one game? How much will the bar bill be Thursday night? According to (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/071030), ESPN forces my cable bill up a whopping $30-35 per year, while the drivel on CNN mandatorily raises the total another $5. Wouldn't it be really neat if my cable invoice was composed of the cost of the channels I select for myself? As for the game, Packers 34 Cowboys 24. Go Pack! Take a Chill Pill Only if I can wash it down with a glass of Chimay Triple... or Chimay Blue, or Chimay Red... I'll take three. __________________________ I’m sittin' over here in blackout land. I live in Wisconsin, but too close to the dark side (vikings). So, I got the NFL channel for an extra 6.00/month thinking I might get to see some replays of the blacked out games and some cool old skool games and stuff… boy am I screwed up. NFL network is operated by a bunch of just graduated, snot nosed, marketing geniuses that watched too many MTV shows at college. Most of it sucks. The fact is that none of the NFL programming doofs know anything about what real NFL fans want - which is FOOTBALL!!! It’s all about greed...pure greed. The game - The Pack will win with Coach Mike making the right adjustments at half and the players executing them... Ruvell Martin steps up and Nick continues his All-Pro year!!! Boz __________________________ The overseas game in London was oversubscribed with over 500,000 plus tickets applied for, the basic ticket was advertised £35-£45 ($68-$87)with prices rising by $18 dollars each level but later the tickets rose in price, I applied for tickets in the band £55-£65 ($107 - £136) and there still more expensive tickets for sale.... Apart from that Greetz to Pack fans from Scotland Go Pack !!!!! Bobby Hey Bobby, thanks for updating my understanding of the game in London, so there is enough interest that the NFL can charge top dollar and sell out their game. It's just that some of us don't want to lose a home game to an over seas neutral site, 1 game isn't an overly big deal, but the talk suggests the NFL is ready for many more. Now give us a 17 game schedule, where every team ends up at a neutral site game, and the NFL can move 10 games out of the USA if they want, just put the game on the broadcast TV is all I ask for, thanks again. __________________________ Hey Beerkid, I couldn't believe what I read in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel yesterday. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio ranked the five most overrated quarterbacks in NFL history in his new book. Brett Favre was second on Sal's list. What crap is this. His reasoning was that "His image in the media has been hyper-inflated to the good ol' boy routine, and that's why people like him." What a crock of shit. How can a player be overrated when he holds just about every NFL passing record, been selected to 8 pro bowls, 3 time MVP, Super Bowl winner etc etc. As for why he's so popular. It's not the "good ol' boy," granted he is, but my guess is that he's a straight shooter, he plays the game because he loves it, the durability, the amount of effort he puts forth, he's not afraid to take risks, and he's a clutch performer. Favre is a normal guy that any blue collar fan can relate to. Paolantonio should look at what he bases overrated quarterbacks on. As for overrated ESPN analysts, Paolantonio ranks #1 in my book. Jay - Oak Creek, WI __________________________ Cheeseheads Make Better Lovers...  Packer_Cricket __________________________ ...stayed in a hotel (in LaCrosse) over thanksgiving, watched the game like most people -- with family and friends. When I opened the hotel room door to leave friday morning, at the doorstep I noticed the complimentary USA Today newspaper. On the front page, A PHOTO OF TOM BRADY. What the? I guess I missed the Patriots game on Thursday -- wasn't aware that they played... just another jab that makes me wonder: when will the Pack start to get the respect they deserve?? about time __________________________ to: "Long Live the Pack!!!" -- I too was in Vegas before the season, and placed a $25 bet on the Packers to win the Superbowl. The odds at the time I placed the bet (in April) were 30-1...!!! Needless to say, I still have the ticket in my wallet, but thought for sure i'd have thrown it away by now. If the Pack does win the SB and I can cash in my bet, I'll use the money to pay for the playoff tickets I must have (which are on sale now!! go to fuzzy's tickets online and get yours!!!)

Hey BeerKid...
 Will the Packers beat the Cowboys in week 13?Anonymous 77 Hey Anon-77, Thanks for your question but the Packers have injury questions to several key players that will influence the answer to a question like this, and it's too early in the week to get a good grasp on who will play and who will not, so we thought we'd ask the Magic G-Ball and get it's prediction for the big match-up this week on Thursday night. So I gave the first shake and awaited the response.
GB: You didn't ask the question quite right... Ask again.
GB: What's the spread?
GB: So then you know it's less than ideal to ask a question you already know the answer too. Are you sure you want to ask again?
GB: Yes. That's all the answer I need... BeerKid - Be Pack 4 Life! |

Packers 1st Place NFC North!!! 10-1...
 "Fiiiiiiiiire! Smoke she is a rising... Fire!" A line from a song by The Cult, today it could be a line for the Packers offense, one that is smokin' hot, or it could be the plume of smoke coming from the Detroit Lions as their season starts to crash to the ground. Packers win 37-26 in a Thanksgiving Day near rout at Ford Field in Detroit.Oh, it started ugly, Packers QB Brett Favre tripping and fumbling the ball past RB Ryan Grant for the Packers 1st play of the game. The Lions were then held by the Packers Defense to just 2 FG's and a 6-0 lead. Aaron Rouse stepped in front of Jon Kitna's pass which led to Brett Favre on the next play audibling out of a planned run and hitting WR Greg Jennings on 11yd slant that gave the Packers the lead at 7-6. A fine 5yd run by Ryan Grant and a short Mason Crosby FG and the Packers stretched their lead to 17-9 at halftime. The 2nd half saw Favre throw 2 more TD passes, one to WR Ruvell Martin and another to Greg Jennings for his 2nd of the day, 2 short FG's by Mason Crosby, the defense relaxing a bit, WR Donald Driver getting 10 catches for 147yds, Ryan Grant having 2 big runs and finishing with 101yds for the day, and the Packers rolled to a win 37-26. The Cowboys are up next, and with injuries to DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (ankle), CB Charles Woodson (toe), DT Colin Cole (broken fore-arm), S Aaron Rouse (knee) and T Mark Tauscher (ankle) it's going to make this game a little tougher for the Packers to win. The next few days will tell us how serious some of these injuries are going to be, with both the Packers and Cowboys at 10-1, home-field advantage for the NFC playoffs is on the line. BeerScout had an observation that may prove to be underneath all the motivations for this game, "The Cowboys want to win this game more than the Packers, Dallas doesn't want to come up to a cold Lambeau Field in January for a playoff game, where as the Packers have no worries about the weather in Dallas come January." I have no doubts about that. Go Pack! BeerKid - Be Pack 4 Life! |
| ___________________________ Holy Lombardi, BK! I re-read your prediction of the score for today's game; good grief! Do you also give out lottery numbers?!  Happy Thanksgiving! Bring on the Cowpies! Go Packers! Lady K ___________________________ Hey BeerKid................ If I remember right, the Pack were 16-1 odds to win the SB, in Vegas at the beginning of the year. I thought for $50, what the hell, not the end of the world to lose $50. I wish I would have placed that bet, not a bad payday if it happened. Then again the NE Cheaters look unbeatable and have all the Packs' defensive calls on tape.... Long Live the Pack!!! ___________________________ Wow! Pinch me, 10-1. Seems like only 4 - 6 months ago some fans were pissed because we didn't get Moss, no big FA running back and Ted was a big a loser. I am pleasently surprised to say ALL PACKER fans should be extremly Thankful. GO PACKERS! Schrades  ___________________________Tramon Williams.........YOU ARE MY HERO!!! Roy Williams........YOU ARE A CHUMP!!! Chris ___________________________ lemondrop, LMAO at Kitna the cowardly lion!!!!!!!!!! Packman ___________________________ Little "d" gets theirs next - See everyone next Thursday night! Joe from Ohio ___________________________ Ok... we have MORE WEAPONS then the Cowgirls, we have a BETTER DEFENSE than the Cowgirls AND we have Brett "FREAKIN" Favre. I am not getting cocky, but we should drop some SHOCK & AWE on the Cowboy nation and send a message to the NFL next week that we are for real and will NOT be denied! JONNY C ___________________________ "The Packers put four games between themselves and the Lions (6-5) with five games to go, all but locking up the NFC North title. The Packers eliminated the Minnesota Vikings from title contention and can cross the Chicago Bears off the list with a Bears loss or a Packers victory." I didn't notice that we eliminated the Vikings from title contention yesterday... my season's goals are complete! A win in Texas would just be gravy! tirademan ___________________________ Awesome Year for Packer fans!!! Brett is playing best Season of his Career for all those Nay sayers! SWEET!! Amazing amount of Brett supporters even none Packers fans here on SunCoast Fl... Proud Cheesehead! Scott Z ___________________________ We will work out our injuries & be OK! Chuck C ___________________________ Packers are so much more balanced this year than years with Mike Sherman. The departure of John Jones still confuses me as I do not live in The Great State of Wisconsin, so I am sure I am out of the loop on this. Maybe the front office kept it so quiet. Was is a Thompson versus Jones philosophical conflict? Please enlightening to the truth about this... Go PACK Go lance s Hey Lance, here's a nugget of info from Packer Chatters that may or may not be true, Paul Hornung subbed for Bob Harlan at a speaking event, he's quoted as saying "Bob Harlan could not make it tonight because of an emergency meeting down in Chicago. He is down there to hire the new Packers CEO." Like I've said before, it's a grab for more power within a organization during a time of great change. No one knows how it's going to turn out. ___________________________ |

A Special Request...To anyone that may be able to help, I am looking for a copy of the TV broadcast from the Packers Nov.18th game against the Panthers, as it was my son's first pro game and his first chance to see his life long hero Brett Favre play. One of my son's good friends was killed in a car accident on my son's 19th birthday. That incident gave his mom and I a real pause for thought. We were reminded that life is so fragile and fleeting and sometimes we get so caught being caught up that we don't take the time to do the things that really make life special. That day we we decided to buy two tickets to the Green Bay Packers game against the Panthers. Not living in Wisconsin, It required my son and I to fly from California to Chicago and then drive to Green Bay. A bit of a journey but well worth the effort. Game day was everything we could have hoped for and more, from the moment we arrived at Lambeau field (8:45AM) the day was electric and the fan spirit was something that has to be experienced to be believed. There we sat in a raucous sea of green and gold, me in my Bart Starr jersey and my son in his Brett Favre jersey watching the game we both love. A father and son moment that neither of us will ever forget. My son, Sam made sure to stop at the souvenir vendors and get all his friends Packer beads and memorabilia, including the obligatory cheese head for himself. He couldn't have been happier. We returned to California the following day and he rushed to work to tell everyone about the trip. Unfortunately when he returned to his car he found that thieves had broken in and stolen all his newly acquired memorabilia, including his prized Brett Favre #4, green, home jersey. From walking on air to being kicked in the gut. This kid was crushed. I will of course replace the jersey and try and help him find the other souvenir items where ever we can but what I would really like to get help with is a copy of the TV broadcast, as we were told that there was a close up on the crowd that included he and I. I think it would be something that he would treasure forever and unfortunately we were so caught up in being caught up by the excitement of attending we never set the game to be recored back home. I know that the games can not legally be recorded and sold but I am more than willing to pay for someone's time, the dvd disc and the shipping if anyone still has the game recorded and can make me a copy. Thanks in advance and go Pack go! Rick Doughty - 714-342-3994 |

Speak Out Spew Off...
 Headed down the road to absolutely nowhere. That's the NFC North Title chances for the Chicago Bears, for the Minnesota Vikings, and for the vastly improved but on a 2 game losing streak Detroit Lions. The Packers won last year in Detroit, in fact the Lions have only won twice in the last 13 meetings between the two teams, both in Detroit, only winning once on Thanksgiving, with the Packers having also won once on a Turkey Day match-up in Detroit during that time-span. So I don't see much of an edge for the Lions in any phase of the game, now I can freely admit that the Packers sitting at 9-1 has raised my expectations to the point that I'm expecting the Packers to win-out the rest of their games this year. So for the early Thanksgiving Day game between the Packers and the Lions, I'll throw out a prediction that the Packers win 37-29 in a wild-ass shoot-out that will leave everyone in Wisconsin talking for about 24 hours until we set our eyes on the next Thursday game. Go Pack! BeerKid - Be Pack 4 Life! |
| __________________________ Well here we are, sitting pretty with only five weeks to go. Yes just "5" weeks to go! We can clinch a first round bye and home field advantage if we win in Detroit and Dallas. Both of these games determine Green Bays road in 2007. Win and they control thier road to glory, lose and play like weenies thwn they will squeek into the playoffs. Detroit can be beat, the Dallas game may be the biggest game of the Year! Win and we may be host for the NFC championship and then onto Arizona! . Oh by the way the Patriots can be beat, put some pressure on Brady and watch the Packers win thier 13th World Championship!!!!! go pack go Packman __________________________ Kitna as the Cowardly Lion - Go Pack Go!  LemonDrop __________________________ I know it dosn't really NEED to be said but has anyone else noticed THE BEARS STILL SUCK?!!? Wow you couldn't shake a stick without hittin' a brand new Ur-lacker jersey a few months ago, now you can't go to a thrift store without seeing dozens! AWESOME job Lovey! Keep it up! Big Ern said so!!!! Hey Big Ern, thanks for checking in and reminding us of the normal balance of the universe - yes, the Bears Still Suck! __________________________ Thinking there's a "clutch" Packer receiver whose name is not heard on Fox, ESPN, or the NFL Net? So am I: Ruvell Martin. Of his 11 catches for 170 yds, 10 have been for first downs. In fact, of players with 11 or more catches on the year, only Chad Johnson betters Martin's 90.9% 1st down ratio. Hell, Ruvell would be a starter on most other teams. Big Five: who ya gonna cover??? #82 Booster __________________________ The Green Bay Bounty Hunters:  Bobby O'Shea __________________________ Ted Thompson recently said, "I believe this now even more than when I started that you're not hiring the coach or the Xs and Os or the system, you're hiring the person,..." (Leadership in tune - McCarthy, GM Thompson work well together) I then read of the apparent divide between the Packer Executive Committee and Board of Directors regarding the hiring of Bob Harlan's successor. (Pete Dougherty column: Search for CEO concerns board members) I remember Ron Wolf saying his foremost criteria in player recruitment was character; he looked first at the person, not the persona. Sounds like what Thompson was saying. I wonder which side, in the Packer presidential hiring process, reflects the Wolf/Thompson philosphy. The PEC's focus on NFL experience seems it may represent a Big Business approach (see aforementioned link for the most influential PEC members), as opposed to the BOD's focus on understanding who and what the Packers are, which seems to mirror the person not persona impetus. This decision is an important one for the Green Bay Packers, but most of the happenings seem to be out of public view. One would think the Packers' owners deserve more "sunshine" on this process. What thinks you, BK? I thinks that I'm surprised that the Packers are 9-1 and still improving their play. I'm surprised that GM Thompson has picked a very good head coach in Mike McCarthy, and as for all the rest of the tension over "the changing of the guard" in the front office, well it's a prestigious job to have, running the show in Green Bay, so it's just regular old normal everyday football biz-ness, that's what's going on. __________________________ What do Packers' fans have to be thankful for?? NINE and ONE, baby, that's what !!!!! Of course there are a multitude of other things as well, but you know what I mean... Maybe those Viking fans might have to look a little harder... Happy Turkey Day to everyone!!!! Carl "Gator" Nelson __________________________ |

Packers Beat Lions...
 Wisconsin State |  Wisconsin Rapids |  The Daily |
Packers 1st Place NFC North!!! 9-1...
 We had our supplies for this Packers vs. Panthers game, half a can of peanuts, 6 pack of Stone IPA, and a large bottle of Chimay Red. Now all that we needed was a blowout game by the Packers that would send us back to our favorite bar for the 4th quarter again, just like last week's game against the Vikqueens. We were counting on it.The Packers started out slow, backup CB Tramon Williams took a pooch punt on the hop by the Panthers kicker, with a great block by DT Johnny Jolly, and an escort by DE Jason Hunter and 94 yards later the Packers are up 7-0, another 2 big TD plays to TE Donald Lee, another TD pass to WR Greg Jennings, and long bomb to WR Donald Driver, a decent rushing attack with RB Ryan Grant and the Packers were up 28-3. We started to pack our bags... but then an interesting thing happened... The Packers defense relaxed a little bit, maybe with thoughts on the short week and the Turkey Day game against the Lions this Thursday, allowing the Panthers to score their 1st TD of the day, and then again when the Panthers marched the ball down the field in 14 plays, 12 of them runs, and scored their 2nd TD of the day, cutting the score to 28-17. Brett Favre and the Packers offense finally put K Mason Crosby in a position for him to make his 1st FG in 3 tries, making the final score 31-17 and the Packers in 1st place of the NFC North at 9-1. Winning only makes us thirsty for more... BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life! |
__________________________ Hey Packer Pack... we are driving from Toronto to Detroit for the Thanksgiving game. Does anyone know where the GB team will be staying the night before the game? My daughter would love to get some autographs on her cheesehead. Thanks! Steamroller __________________________ Hey BeerKid! Excited about the big game in Motown this Thursday... love that weekday afternoon pigskin! I have to say though... I can't wait for Pack-Cowboys next week... Definitely the game of the year for Pack fans. Have to say...it's tough here in Patriots country... New England North in New Brunswick, Canada... All I hear about is The Pats... Can't wait to get that Super Bowl rematch...hoping for the same result as last time! Saw a poll at Fox Sports that everybody might be interested in... The question: Who's the best team in The NFC?

Think about the anchor to those great Lombardi lines. With the famous "Packer Sweep" it was Ringo who had the toughest block, snapping the ball and hooking the defensive tackle so he could not penetrate the line while the guards pulled. It was Ringo who blocked for Taylor & Hornung. They are starting to leave us now, all those Packer greats. Thanks for all the memories Jim Ringo, you were one of the greatest. Old School Fan __________________________ Hey BeerKid.... Did I see the new punt returner today??? Woodson won't lose you any games, but Tramon Williams might win you a few!!!

Onward to the second of three "blue" teams that the Pack has to crush in this fortnight... Carl 'Gator' Nelson __________________________ Went to my first home game this year and what a great win. Prior to each kick off, the Packer's kick off team would do a little dancing out on the field while they were waiting for the commericals to get done. I enjoyed watching them and my grandson, who was at his first Packer game was really getting into it and was ready to dance with them on the last kick off, but then they didn't do the dancing. Then this morning I read in the paper that the refree told the Packers to cool their dancing routine otherwise they would be flagged for excessive celebration. What a bunch of bull s**t! Waiting for the time out to get done, keeping the crowd fired up and just having a good time with the fans, that's excessive celebration?? Where or who can I contact in the NFL to tell them what I think about this crap??? On to Detroit!! ROMANPACK __________________________ |

Spew Off Speak Out...
| It's 3 hours to game-time and I thought I better get some gameday thoughts going here. Packers QB Brett Favre finally gets to face a QB that's older than him, that's 44 year old Vinny Testaverde, in what has to be an unbreakable Old Timers QB Duo NFL Record, Brett's 38. It won't matter, the Panthers are an average team with no QB, and throw that "trap game" crap out the window, maybe in Carolina, but in Green Bay this should be as close to a cake-walk as the Packers will get this year. For no obvious reason 'cept that my Green and Gold glasses are on, the Packers will win easily, rolling away from the Panthers in a 29-14 rout that will have Packers fans across the Western United States screaming at FOX TV for changing to another "more competitive game". BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life!  |
| __________________________________ Hey BK, I just read that Brett is currently leading all QB's in ballots/votes for the ProBowl! However, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are right behind him. So please encourage the Packer faithful to get online and vote! This is definitely Brett's year! Here is a link to the story: http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2007/11/15/1/ Go Pack Go! Lady K - Packer Club of Hemet, Ca. __________________________________ Looks like a good game to rest some of the injured. They looked like a play-off team last week. A little more work and experience and they might start to look like a SB team. Wonder if Nicky C. will get that safety job back from Rouse?? Long Live the Pack!!! __________________________________ Packers by 14 against Carolina! I will be in the 5th row! Can't wait. Go Pack Go! Witt Dog __________________________________ you are the best team that I ever saw. Gage B. age 12 Hey Gage, thanks for stopping by, and although we are not affiliated with the Packers, you are correct, this year's team is the best you've ever seen. For some of us older folks, they are close to the 1996 Super Bowl team. Go Pack! __________________________________  When will the Packers start getting the respect they deserve? All season long, the "experts" have been propping up any team that sports a short winning streak, even if it's against weak teams (see: NY Giants). I don't know what is better -- the Packers being "off the radar" and not being in most conversations (on TV/Radio) as a true contender, OR if the talking heads gave the respect to and backed our Pack. Then there's Stephen A. Smith on the radio last Monday (listened as I drove home from the game). He absolutely went off on Brett Favre, saying basically that we should all shut up about him -- he doesn't want to hear another thing about Brett Favre. Geez... afterall, it's Mr. Favre's best year statistically to date, he's breaking records left and right, and the team is kicking ass, all at the age of 38. If not now, then when is it ok to talk about Brett Farve?? Comments?? about time Hey About Time, if the Packers keep winning then all the talking heads will come around, ask the Lions, they were crying for respect and then they went to Arizona and lost. Notice how the talking heads weren't doing the shut-up about "Colts-Patriots", crap that was all week long, hell, by the game started I turned it off, I was no longer interested. At least the Brett Favre talk isn't over the will-he won't-he retire, we at least have a few months before that starts again. Be Pack 4 Life! __________________________________ What a blessing to have Ryan Grant enter our backfield Corp!! It is nice to see a guy who can see a hole and run with a purpose. Everyone starts to believe, the team, the fans, and the press, when you have a running game. It changes everything. This team can make some noise in the playoffs. Outside of Favre, Grant may be the most important part in the machine and he needs to stay healthy. Hats off to MM for keeping this team rolling!! Live and Die with the Pack CAMP __________________________________ HHMMMM why would McCarthy bring A Brooks in for a workout, friendly gesture or something in the works. chilwil __________________________________ I'm finally getting back to normal after enjoying my best Packers - queens game in years. 34 - 0! Man oh Man! Beerkid, I recall you had a nice flash video a while back dissing the queens. It was a song that went something like "Never been there" and it was a dis on how the queens have never won the Superbowl. Do you still have it? Go Pack Go! Georgia Packer Fan Hey GPF, oh we still have it, here's the link to Never Been This Far Before, an all time Packer Palace fan favorite. __________________________________ Yog and I are going to the game. Oughtta be a blast!!! Vinnie might be old, but he can still wing-it and he's a sharp QB, but the D's gonna get-em. Prediction: Pack 31, Kittys 17. Send some pics and details!!! Here comes 9-1 BK!!! Boz __________________________________ Well, watching the Pack stomp all over the Queens was one of the greatest FAN experiences I have ever had at Lambeau! Not the best football game, but by far the best time! I haven't sen that place rockin' like that since the playoff game against the Seahawks! THE PACK IS BACK! THE PATS ARE WACK! JonnyC __________________________________  Hey - your site is pure fantastic genius!!! I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time. Thanks Beer Kid - Keep up the good work. Emily __________________________________ BeerKid, Need some help. Going to the Rams game, and we are in dire need of a Packer bar. Can you throw the question out to Packer nation? Thanks, BigOly74 __________________________________ I think the most important thing now is not to look past ANYONE! We've done very well,and I am so impressed with Grant and Favre (as well as the entire team) That it's easy to dismiss "carols-gina" or the other crap teams we'll see soon.....I just want to beat seven shades of crap out of dallas to shut t.o's stupid ass up so bad that I'll kiss my mother-in-law right on the lips if we win!!!!But let's beat those lame cats first. Pucker-up Big Ern is comin' for Thanksgiving!! GO PACK GO!!!! Big Ern said so!!!! __________________________________ Was there anybody out there who REALLY saw last week's blowout coming?? I thought it was a very pleasant surprise, that's for sure. Onward and upward to the Pack's 3 games in twelve days, and the vikes to........ well...... facing Dante in the Oakland game.

Vikings Suck Sucka's...
 Packers win 34-0 over the Vikqueens. How earth-shattering, how A.P. is out and can't finish the game. How many KGB big play sacks, how thorough can a team play and humiliate, ahhh yes, HUMILIATE a division opponent, that's humiliate as in 34-0, Packers win 34-0 and continue to own 1st place in the NFC North at 8-1.As BeerScout said... "while watching, we were forced to leave the premises because they were switching to "a more competitive game." Which is why we finished watching the Packers kick ass at The Daily Pint." BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life! |

Ummm guys, Ruvell Martin has it. __________________________________ SCREW FOX!! Chris Hey Chris, yeah I hate the switching to "the more competitive game" FOX TV strategy during the Packers Vikings game yesterday...

AH HA HA HA LOLOLOL chilwil __________________________________ Hey BeerKid....... Imagine if the Pack would have signed Moss.

Timmy Hey Timmy, Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy... and one last thing about the Packers 34-0 blowout of the Vikes, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy... Timmy! __________________________________ PACKERS WIN!! PACKERS WIN!! Yeah baby! Bring on the Panthers! Hey Beerkid, Just wanted to send some pics of the gang. We held our annual Brat Fest today, and boy, what a game! One pic is of the whole brood, and the other is of our 'Packer Chicks' squad.  I wanted to put out the word to anyone who lives in Hemet/San Jacinto, Temecula, Murrieta/Menifee, Perris, Moreno Valley, Banning, etc.Looking for a place to go and watch the Packers? Come hang out with 'The Packer Club of Hemet'! We are an officially recognized fan club by the Green Bay Packers organization. We meet each game day at: The Wheelhouse Grill, 2860 W. Florida Ave., Hemet Ca. 951-652-9968 (right next door to AMF Bowling Center on Florida Ave, near Sanderson) Unlike other sports bars, where if you're lucky, you'll get to huddle in the corner with a 20' tv, we take over the whole place! Nothing but Cheeseheads and the big screen in the middle of the room! Food and drinks too. There is no membership fee to join, just come and join us in cheering on the Pack! Most of the gang are former Wisconsinites, and would love to share their stories with you. Nice family atmosphere. We also hold weekly raffles for all sorts of cool Packer stuff! Hope to see you there!Below is a link to a map with directions to the club: Map Directions to the Wheelhouse Grill GO PACK GO!! Lady K, - Packer Club of Hemet __________________________________ Good look again guys this week. You should probably beat us, being that we are using our third string QB. Regardless, the games are usually close and this is the best rivalries regardless of what Bears fans think. BleedsPurple Hey BleedsPurple, missed getting your comment up before the game, not having Winfield, Rice and using a 3rd string QB were pretty obvious signs that the Packers were going to win, not too many of us were a expecting the Packers to roll, but 34-0 was a thunderous roll. __________________________________ |

TV Distribution Map...
If you're outside the normal Packers game viewing area, and looking to find out if the Green Bay Packers football game in on TV, then we've found the website for you, the506.com/nflmaps. Now this guy's a Patriots fan but we're willing to give him a little lee-way in this case, because he is creating easy to understand, color coded NFL TV distribution coverage maps that show what game is on your area. Just as we were making plans for heading to the favorite game-day watering hole, I had to do one last check and much to my surprise, I discovered that the Fox TV Station in Los Angeles finally came to it's senses last Thursday, and decided to ditch the Reggie Bush/Saints Rams game and replace it with the Packers Vikqueens game.

Flogging A Dead Horse... Best Of
 A Minnesota Viking family of football supporters headed out one Saturday to do their Christmas shopping. While in the sports shop the son picks up a Packer jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Packer fan and I would like this for Christmas".His big sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him round the head and says, "Go talk to mother". Off goes the little lad with the Packer jersey in hand and finds his mother. "Mom?" "Yes son?" "I've decided I'm going to be a Packer fan and I would like this jersey for Christmas". The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head and says, "Go talk to your father!" Off he goes with the Packer jersey in hand and finds his father. "Dad?" "Yes son?" "I've decided I'm going to be a Packer fan and I would like this jersey for Christmas". The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!" About half an hour later they're all back in the car and heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says "Son, I hope you've learned something today?" The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have." "Good son, what is it?" The son replies, "I've only been a Packer fan for an hour and I already hate you Viking bastards." |
Speak Out Spew Off...
| So it's been another hated-rivalry week, and this upcoming game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikqueens should be a good one, from the Packers Perspective. Yeah, the Vikes have the Beast in their backfield, rookie RB Adrian Peterson, things could get tough for the Packers Defense, but then again, the Vikes have a coach who thinks K Ryan Longwell can make 58 yard FG's. So even if the Vikqueen Players show up and play well, expect their coaching staff to blow several calls that the Packers will definitely take advantage of. Some concern for the Packers is that just when RB Ryan Grant started to establish himself, he's gets a concussion, which limits his practice time, which limits the ability for him and Brett Favre to get their hand-off exchanges down. Rumors had it the Packers had declared open try-outs for the Guard positions, but in the end, it's still Daryn Colledge and Jason Sptiz, with Tony Moll, Allen Barbre and Junius Coston backing them up. The Vikes have a few things going for them, fat aggressive DT's, loudmouth S Darren Sharper, an up and coming WR Sidney Rice, but who can stop the Packers 4 WR's or the surging TE Donald Lee. Packers win, 29-17, and continue their grip on 1st place in the NFC North. BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life! |
 ___________________________________Hey, my mother and I are in town for an unfortunate family emergency but realized we might have the opportunity to witness a game in Titletown. Not sure we can afford $300 each per ticket. Any good leads on the best place to tailgate and watch the game on big screen tv's? Packer Virgins ___________________________________ Virgin, I've only been to the Redskin game a few weeks ago, but am sure it's typical of most games. My description would be that the ENTIRE TOWN near Lambeau, along with the parking lot at the stadium is one gigantic party. There are several large restaurant/bars in the area too. I wasn't looking for big screens, but I doubt you'd have any trouble finding somewhere to watch, with a few million brats to choose from as well. Have fun! tirademan (aka beerscout) ___________________________________ I love when the PACKER haters come out of their closets and step away from the drive-thru windows to share their lame comments about the greatest team of all time The GREENBAY PACKERS!!!It means we've probably just crushed your "team" or your ex (who you still cry over) is dating a Packer fan and is finally happy! So keep the comments coming and remember it's the VINCE LOMBARDI trophy ladys!!! Big Ern said so!!!! ___________________________________ Beerkid, I just wanted to express what a great website this is. Besides the official GBP website this is hands down the best website for Packer Fans. My kids and I enjoy the "Rockwood Lodge" videos thanks for keeping them PG13, I love the vintage packercana which is so important! Keep up the excellent work! GO PACK GO Packman ___________________________________ Hey Beer Kid, I hope you don't mind that I posted your temperature conversion chart to our forum... Love it. Great stuff! Corey B CheeseHeadTV.Com Hey Corey, not a problem, it's not mine and I don't remember which forum I took it from a few weeks ago. It all goes around and comes around again and again. Check out Corey and Aaron's Packer Transplants podcast over at CheeseHead TV every week. ___________________________________ Metrodome "the Yugo of stadiums." HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! tirademan ___________________________________ Packers are going to represent the NFCN like the Bears couldn't do. Lambeau Field and Brett Favre are winning ingredients for success. Go Pack Go! Coop ___________________________________ Its Queenie-Week again. (perk) Is that a Broom I see for the 2nd year in a row, SWEEP? Be Green and Gold, Loud and Proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lemondrop ___________________________________ Simply incredible, The Packers (And Great Teams) find ways to win! Special Teams continue to dominate in every way. Jon Ryan has to be considered the best punter in the NFC. 57.5 avg.Last week WOW!! Crosby has shaken of the bugs and continues to be accurate and strong legged too, 6th in the NFL in touchbacks! I like the aggresive DB's and D-line, there are potentially 3-5 Probowlers on Defense. Ryan Pickett is very underrated and is a clog in the middle. We need a huge game from him against the Vikings. Hawk and Barnett need to stuff Peterson and not let him get going. I tip my hat to TT who has signed more FA than any other team over the past 3 years,(64) Ryan Pickett, Woodson, Robinson, Krause, Bigby, Jenkins and Tracy White(quietly dominating on special teams) to name a few. Is it me or does Krause remind you of Chumura, minus the hot tub of course! Im not dissing Detroit but I think they are Paper Tigers we should have no problem against them on Turkey Day although it will be a tough game. That is usually Detroit's Playoff game on National TV. They ran up the score against Denver minus Jay Cutler after the 1st QTR. I think the Packers continue to DOMINATE and beat the Vikings, 23-14. The defense and sloppy Lambeau Field will hold Peterson to a pedestrian 70 yds. Koren Robinson returns one to the house! Packers Win. Let the Tailgating begin!!!!!! See you at Lambeau the following Weekend against the Carolina Panthers and Grandpa Testaverde! Ps I was the guy holding the sign "Trade up" in the Green Bay Gazette paper during the Draft Party at Lambeau right before the Vikings took Peterson and Buffalo took Lynch! Grant will be fine, Wynn should be regulated to 2nd team,3rd down situations. Brett Favre MVP, Jerry Kramer HOF. Speaking of which we have three candidates this  year! Harlan, Wolf and Leroy Butler. NE can be beat. Go Pack Go!Packman ___________________________________ packers suck alexander ___________________________________ I am going to take Alexander's mom out to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her back. Luke in Dallas Hey Luke, you know if Alexander had said "the packers o-line sucks" or "the packers db's suck because of their penalties" it would have been accurate, ah it's nothing to worry 'bout, they crawl out from under everywhere every now and then. ___________________________________ Half way through the season and I am just going to soak it up. It's time to savor these moments this week and get ready for the second half of the season. Look for the Pack to blow out either Minnesota or Carolina at home! Then on to Dallas! Witt Dog ___________________________________ I had a great discussion with my 21 year old son as to which fans we love to hate. Basically we both agreed that our top 5 are as follows: #5. Raiders- I can't imagine anyone in that group in the "black hole" having enough brains to count their ears and come up with the same number twice. #4. Broncos- Orange Crush? C'mon, I mean naming yourself after a bottle of pop? #3. Bears - Someone is going to get hurt jumping on and off that bandwagon. Hopefully most of their fans still have the sales receipts so they can take all the clothing back they bought last year. #2. Cowboys- We all know who "America's Team" is, and we don't have to proclaim it. and # 1... Vikings - I mean really...playing in a dome, that obnoxious horn blowing when something exciting happens, (like a virgin buying a hot dog), and talk about fickle fans! I mean who can honestly cheer for such a team? Old School Fan ___________________________________ @Old School Fan: There are virgins in Minnesota? n8dogg ___________________________________ To Old School Fan: Amen to that, especially #2. Obviously, I live in Dallas. I heard on the radio yesterday that for the first time in team history, they are sold out for the entire 2008 season on a season ticket basis. So wait - if they have the "best fans" and are "America's team", then how come we've got a waiting list many many years long just to have the privelege to be the next person who takes the next available season ticket seat. The Packers haven't sold a single game ticket in how long? The Bears, obviously are easy to hate, as are the Viqueens. Here is my current conundrum. Do we hate the Lions? For so long, they have been so bad it was almost like a pity thing. Even when they beat us, it was passed off as a fluke. I think I can hate them. In fact, I'm sure of it. Luke in Dallas ___________________________________ Hate to say it, but I think the Pack will win in a close one. Hope "All Day" can pull another record breaking performance this week at Lambeau! Vike fan from Kentucky ___________________________________ It's finally time for the renewal of this great rivalry. Will AD be the key for the vikes? Will Brett lead the Packers to their fourth straight win over Minnesota?? Tune in Sunday and see... Now--in terms of shameless self-promotion... I'll be autographing copies of Packers 'verses' Vikings at the Mariner Mall in Superior on November 10-11, and at the Holiday Craft and Gift show at Shopko Hall in Green Bay on November 15-16.... Stop by and say "hi" if you are around either spot!! Coach Carl ___________________________________ |
