It's almost Super Bowl week and the excitement is in the air around here. Bears fans are stick licking their wounds and Packers fans are ready and waiting for their boys to face the Steelers in Dallas.
That brings me to something I want to bring up. This might surprise people, but despite my lifetime fandom of the New York Giants, the Packers have ALWAYS been my #2 team. ALWAYS. Back in the early 90s when they sucked, all the way through the Farve Super Bowls to now with the man Rodgers. I HAVE followed this team since I became a football fan.
I wanted to make this very clear because lately people have been wondering WHY I have been and am rooting for the Packers, even though they are the team that knocked the Giants out this year. I have NO problem with the Packers, none whatsoever. They have scratched and clawed and earned the right to be where they are right now, not just this year but over the last three years.
Moving here has made it easier for me to embrance my Packer fandom, while I have still yet to buy anything Packers, or even wear a Packers hat.
But I wanted to make sure people knew, that is no way am I a bandwagon Packers fan, and I didn't become a fan because I moved to WI in 2005. It's not how it is at all. They have been my long time #2 favorite team and I am super excited to see them advance on like they have.
So with that being said...GO PACK GO!
