Green Bay deserves to win this super bowl, not only because of what Brett Favre has done to the team and to the fans but because Aaron Rodgers deserves this for having his career drug thru the mud while Brett attends press conference after press conference faking his retirement!
Green Bay is the last little town to keep its team. You root for the Packers in this Super Bowl for guys like the one on PackerForum.com writing about hearing his mom shriek downstairs and thinking she's in trouble and running down to find her in her robe and slippers shrieking in delight at the man standing in the doorway, Packers god Bart Starr, who had stopped by to drop off some gifts as thanks for the guy cutting Starr's lawn and shoveling his sidewalk this year.
You root for the Packers in this Super Bowl because Packers fans took a taunt -- "You cheesehead!" -- and turned it into a gouda thing. In 1987, Ralph Bruno, burned holes in one of his mother's couch cushions while upholstering it cut out a hole for his head and painted it yellow. This is where the "chesseshead" was born. You can find chesse hats, along with many other "cheese" things, anywhere in Green Bay.
You root for the Packers in this Super Bowl because of Ouida Wright and her boyfriend, who never dreamed being homeless in Green Bay would be lucky. They were on the street when the Dallas Convention and Visitor's Bureau sent a "mystery" man out, waiting for someone to address him with the secret phrase: "Have you been to Dallas lately?" Wright heard about it, said it to the right guy and now she's going to the Super Bowl with her boyfriend. Everything is paid for and yet when they return home they will still not have a place to live.
If nothing else, root for the Packers because its the right thing to do. They are a team that nobody can seem to hate!
I agree. I am also cheering on the Packers in this years Super Bowl! I did this weeks blog on the game as well.
