Yeah, oh by the way. My GreenBay Packers will be going to the playoffs this year.

I always had a spot for them too.

Why are they called packers though

The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919 by a couple high-school football rivals named Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.
Lambeau solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company which was a large meat packing company located in Green Bay at the time.
Lambeau was given $500 for uniforms and equipment, on the condition that the team be named for its sponsor.

And today our stadium is even named after Lambeau.
Lambeau Field

. If you need some ideas on how to celebrate 100 years 8 years just ask, my Riders made it this year

.
Thanks for the info Jim

Somehow I envisioned the previous post to be a lot more creative than it looks.

(Maybe my daughter is right, after all).

Pittsburgh is going for 7

Them Packers will have to go through the Bears again to get anywhere and as you know, its tough for either one of those teams to win back to backs against each other, because of the rivalry.

I'm just glad to see the Atlanta Falcons doing so well this year. They won't make it to the big show, but at least they had a good year.

Todd Rahm · January 03, 2011, 05:17:57 PM

I wouldn't be so quick to count them out. Other then New England being on a steam roller, the rest is unpredictable this year (Like the whole season).

Seahawks..................really?

FinsnFur · January 03, 2011, 07:23:54 PM

Good example. The hawks were left for dead...now looky looky.
