Is anyone here a Green Bay Packers fan?
Hi all:
I only just now realized that there was a place here to talk about sports. My sport is American football and my team is Green Bay. What are the chances that there are other Packer Backers around? I'd love a chance to talk about the team here as well as on my new board once I get some members.

My NFL is limited to Super Bowl.

Re: Is anyone here a Green Bay Packers fan?
So do you choose a different favorite each year based on who is in the Super Bowl?

Yeah I do, or might not have clear preference. Though I do favor 49ers and Chargers.

Re: Is anyone here a Green Bay Packers fan?
Until a few years ago I couldn't have cared less about football. Now suddenly I like it as much as Pastor Rick likes baseball.
So Petal, what sort of sports broadcasts do you get?
Kaunisto the 49ers were on my seriously disliked list this past season. Of course I can't argue the fact that the Packers kind of beat themselves in that last game with the 49ers.

Re:
PK we see a terrific amount of sport. Rubgy, cricket, soccer, golf, tennis, athletics, boxing, hockey (field hockey not ice hockey) and a host of others.
Very rare to see American football, baseball, basketball etc. although I suppose they may have them on ESPN at times.

Re:
We do get some US football games but we're not into it much. It's too violent for my taste and now proving to be extremely dangerous resulting in serious brain injury. I wouldn't encourage a kid of mine to play it.

Re:
Hadn't heard about that - I just think they look ridiculous with all their padding, and it obviously doesn't seem to help when it comes to injury! Wonder how they'd handle rugby!!
