Packer Picnic 2018

Packer Picnic!

Greetings Greenville Packer Backers,

Only one week to get this party started. On Saturday, July 28^th at 1:00 we will have our annual Packer Picnic. Once again, we will be at the grounds of the Lynn Coleman estate in Travelers Rest, 1707 Geer Hwy to be exact. All Packer (and football) fans are welcome. For current club members, $5.00 and a dish to pass is all you need. Non-current members the cost is $8.00 plus the dish to pass. For that cost, the club will provide the meat, buns & fixins, plus water, lemonade and tea. Feel free to bring your own libations of your choice. Want to save the $3.00, you can re-up at the picnic for the same cost as last year ($35 for new members, $30 for renewing members).

This is an event all should try to attend as we will be reviewing where we will meet this year now that it looks like Chief’s is closed plus discussing how we, as a club, should move forward with prizes, pools, other game day activities and who will help make game day possible.

Please RSVP to greenvillepackerbackers@gmail.com so I can get an accurate count for the meat.

Always Bleeding Green My Friends,

Packer John

2017 Week 18 YEE

Packers 11 Lyins 35

If you’re (really?) looking for a review of the final game at Detroit, look elsewhere because I won’t waste any breath or space on that joke that deserves to be forgotten. Much like the disaster that was the 2017 season.

Packers 00 Viqueens 16

My preview article last week was a rant. I’ll admit it and own it. Granted, ranting is what Jimmy’s supposed to do in “Just Sayin’” and I get the chance to rant during the bye week and the End of Season issue, but I couldn’t help myself last week. The writing was on the wall. I saw it. Now you may say, “Yeah, Ken but you didn’t call for McCarthy’s job. Why?”

Packers 24 Panthers 31

I said before the trip to Charlotte that regardless of the outcome of the game, or even the season, Mark Murphy should fire the entire “lot” of them. I’m still saying it, only a little bit louder. Actually, I’m like a 250-lb male brown-haired brown-eyed dark-skinned Heidi yodeling it from the Blue Ridge mountaintops…

Packers 27 Browns 21

You know John (our erstwhile editor) and I were talking before the game about Trevor Davis. He’s our return guy, a tight end/wide receiver who has hands like baskets so he can catch nearly anything thrown his way. Anyone who watches special teams play knows how special that is. Remember when Jeremy Ross played kick returner?

Packers 26 Buc-an-ears 20

Well I did say this was a winnable game without Air-ron, I just didn’t think it would be in overtime. One would have to go way back to find a game where the QB on the winning side had 13 completions for 84 yards with a QBR of 48.3.
