Why nobody’s talking about the Packers--or the Cards

by bigred49yrs on Jan 2, 2010 4:47 PM MST

I’ve seen some comments asking why Aaron Rodgers and the Packers aren’t getting talked about. One could ask the same question about the Cardinals. Here’s five reasons:

1) Rodgers (or Warner) isn’t Brett Favre.

2) Rodgers (or Warner) isn’t Tom Brady or one of the Manning boys, either.

3) They don’t play on the East Coast.

4) They don’t play in the NFC East Division.

5) They don’t have a FRICKING STAR on their gosh-damned helmets.

I think we would get talked about more if we won games we are supposed to.

The Niners and Carolina games come to mind.

I’d prefer to be kept on the DL anyhow and win the Super Bowl. I believe it was Former President “Teddy” Roosevelt who said “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”

Great quote, one of my favorites.

They are who we thought they were!

Who cares?

Nobody talked about us last year, either, except to make fun of us. As wrong as the national media usually is, I’d start to get a little nervous if they start paying attention or predicted big things for us.

Usually when they do the Cardinals screw up. I'd prefer to be underdogs every game.

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

How can you hate Favre

Packers fans who hate on Favre are hilarious!

Favre is a soap opera.

Put him on a team with T.O. and Ocho Cinco.

-shrug-

Ohcho Cinco aint exactly drama, he just has fun with pissing the officials off.

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

He's an attention hound that's all.

His mommy didn’t hug him enough.

If you were a Packers fan throughout his entire career with us you’d understand. It appears he is all about the team and all that but we slowly discovered from about 2005-on that he was very selfish and egocentrical. We all love him for the things he did for our franchise but he handled his retirement situations with us very poorly.
