2020 Week 01

A Season Like No Other


Since the outbreak of the Covid virus earlier this year, many things have changed.  Almost all summer events were cancelled.  Schools, Churches, restaurants, sports and “non-essential” stores were closed.  Many states closed their borders and told everyone to stay at home.  As time went on, restaurants and store have reopened with state re-strictions.  Grub Hub and Door Dash are the way to go. Schools are a blend of classroom and home school.  Some sports restarted on modified schedules, including the NFL.  Gone are Pre-season games and live fans. Players had an option to sit this one out and there are more options for teams to be able to field a healthy team each week. 

2019 YEE

All eyes watched in disbelieving horror as the agonizingly slow, yet certain, clutches of death finally pulled the 2019 Season into oblivion. Widespread and varied clans clad in differing styles of green and mustard gathered around the corpse. There was no need to check for a pulse. Someone from the outer reaches offered steadily and dutifully: “The Also-Ran is dead.” In response, with eyes to the horizon, and in solemn unison, Packer Nation dutifully finished with a balanced and reserved “Long live the Also-Ran…”

2019 PO4

Packers 20 Santa Clara 37 

I went on the Internet and saw a headline Monday.  "What the Packers need to do about Aaron Rodgers", obviously written by someone with QB envy and hoping against hope that someone reads this article and thinks, "Yeah, we need to get rid of our HOF Quarterback who almost singlehandedly brought us back into the NFC Championship game and let Tim Boyle have the 'keys to the car'!  Yeah, we should do that!"  Not so fast!

2019 PO3

Packers 28 Seahags 23 

“I mean, I’m setting franchise records as Head Coach. We just beat Seattle. I’m becoming a household name, and not just here. I’m basically international now, with the games in England and all the Cowboys fans down in Mexico and Latin America.”

2019 PO2

Packers vs Seahags 

"I just hope people keep sleeping on us and keep saying we suck or we’re not as good as we are”-DT Kenny Clark
“I think it puts a little bit of a chip on our shoulders…that people don’t respect us”-LB Kyler Fackrell
The holidays are in the rearview and now it’s on to 2020 and the Packers hosting a huge game in the playoffs. I haven’t written or seen any of you since last year prior to the festivities, when many of us spread out across the country and globe to faraway, exotic places… like Milwaukee…

2019 PO1

Packers 23 Lyins 20 

There are times I’m glad this is newsletter is a weekly public- cation and not a daily. If it
was the latter, I would have been starting at half-time writing how “the loss didn’t keep us out of the playoffs but we would be playing next week”. Tearing that one up at the end of the 3rd quarter now saying “the boys didn’t tried but it was too little too late”.

2019 Week 17

Packers 23 Viqueens 10 

"Winning Ugly” is not a thing!  It’s made up term for a series of events that sportswriters don’t expect to happen.  The defensive display of The King of The North Green Bay Packers was NOT an ugly win!  Aaron Rodgers put it quite eloquently Monday Night, “Winning is always beautiful and Defense wins NFC North Championships.” He also went on to say, “They all count the same if you win, we’ve got to keep on winning.”
