Every Green Bay Packers fan worth his/her salt knows St. Vince. Wearing his holy garb, he can be seen in his low-level end-zone seats, along with his cheese-bra wearing wife, “Cheese Louise.” St. Vince has become synonymous with Lambeau Field and is almost as a big a celebrity in Green Bay as the players are.
Before every home game, he is mobbed by Packer fans wanting to take pictures, get autographs and kiss his Super-Bowl ring. St. Vince truly shows the patience of a saint, obliging every request, and blessing fans with his cheerful personality. I am always fascinated by people who take their Packers fandom to a “higher” level, so I just had to get to know a little about this “Paragon of Packers Piety:”

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly was suspended by the NFL “indefinitely” today. He will not be eligible for reinstatement until after the 2010 season. All this two weeks before he stands trial on felony drug charges. My first reaction was that the NFL knows something we don’t. And now, news is leaking out that Jolly was suspended for violating the NFL’s Substance Abuse Policy. As far as what do the Packers do now, I say no worries…
Talk about timing; the subject of Johnny Jolly was debated last night on CheeseheadRadio. The following debate subject was posed:
The Packers should just release Johnny Jolly now and eliminate the distraction.
I took the “Pro” (touchdown) stance and here was my statement. Read more...(462 words + 6 images, estimated 1:51 mins reading time)
This past week, 126 lucky people got a phone call they’ve been waiting for a long time. No, they didn’t win the Powerball lottery, but they did score season tickets to the Green Bay Packers. Of course now they’ll have to shell out the cost for a personal seat license as well as pay for the tickets. Green Bay is still a relative bargain though, as PSLs range from $600 – $1400 per ticket. That’s a fraction of what Jets and Giants PSLs run. Just for the heck of it, I sent in my own season ticket request letter this week. That’s only about 84,000 other people in front of me.
Here’s a story about how the blogosphere has grown, get this — Cheesehead TV managed to scoop the National Media this past week. Brian McIntyre, who writes the Other 31 Blog over at Cheesehead TV, broke the news days before anyone else that the Packers had signed 5th round draft pick Andrew Quarless. Quarless was signed to a 4-year deal worth a maximum of 2.7 million dollars with a $182,000 signing bonus. Read more...(974 words + 6 images, estimated 3:54 mins reading time)
Green Bay Packers News for the week of 7/1/10 – 7/8/10
With 23 days before training camp starts and little actual activity going on at Lambeau Field, it’s quote season in Green Bay, Wisconsin. On the heels of Aaron Rodgers’ recent dismantling of Tony Kornheiser, some other Packer players went public with some bold comments this week.
On NFL Network, Nick Barnett called this season “Super Bowl or Die” for the Packers. He later tweeted this: “People keep asking why I said super bowl or die… Cause every year I don’t make it, I feel like I have died, said Barnett, So it’s a reminder of that feelin”
On a Levar Arrington radio show podcast, Charles Woodson declared Aaron Rodgers as the best quarterback in the NFL. Woodson also said, “You can see he want’s it, and that’s the most important thing”. Assuming “it” is a Super Bowl win and not Erin Andrews, I’m with you Charles. Read more...(780 words + 5 images, estimated 3:07 mins reading time)
The Green Bay Packers bandwagon is sagging heavily from the load, and it seems like everyone wants to drive. Every new day seems to bring more and more pundits, writers, bloggers and fans touting the Packers as having the best ____ (fill in the blank) and guaranteeing Super Bowl wins.
The latest one just put me over the edge. For this I can thank the the evil wickedness of Greg Bedard, Packers reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Filled with malevolence or at best, sadistic capriciousness, he felt the need to bring this to my attention:
People, I have but one thing to say…
EVERYBODY. JUST. STOP. ENOUGH!!!!
Please folks, find another team to be your darling. Nothing good ever comes of this type of wanton behavior. The overwhelming majority of pre-season Super Bowl predictions are, get this, WRONG. And I say this as someone who correctly picked New Orleans last summer as my Super Bowl favorite. So you know what that makes me? Lucky – that’s all. You know what they say about blind squirrels.
