Why I am a cpcp Needs to Become a Cheesehead

11

by user The Beast

Its rare that you'll get an entire post dedicated to one man's fandom but here it is. Recently fellow ArmchairGM user I am a cpcp, has been trying to find a favorite NFL team. However, he dismissed the idea of becoming a Packers fan. Here it why he should at least re-consider.

1. I am sure that I am a cpcp was bitter when the Cleveland Browns become the Baltimore Ravens in 1995. Unlike all 31 other NFL team, the Packers are never going to move because the city of Green Bay owns the team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers_Board_of_Directors).

2. They are a midwest team. You are an Ohio guy so why not cheer for a midwest team that will possibly get T.V. time in Ohio.

3. A.J. Hawk and Brett Favre. Why not support a former Buckeye in Hawk. Who can't love A.J. Hawk. he sacked Brady Quinn and then married his sistaer. How sweet is that. You also have a Brett Favre fan box; so I assume that you like number 4.

4. They have tradition. I prefer College Football more than the NFL. However, with all the tradition and loyal fans in a small town, the Packers almost seem to be like a college team.

5. You wouldn't be bandwagoning. Hey they were 4-12 and then 8-8. Its not bandwagoning its just coming to your senses.

6. It's a young team. Is there anything better than watching a young team devlop? It'll be a blast to watch all the young Packers become stars.

7. The Front Office is stable. Teams like Green Bay, New England, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Denver, have all become consistent winners over the past decade. Why? They all have stable front offices. Teams that draft well and select good coaches. Is is a surprise that Matt Millen's Lions and Al Davis's Raiders continue to experience losing seasons.

Hurray up and become a Cheesehead today. If you do decide to become a Packer fan than you can open this link. It may convince you. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFVksXMbVHw).

I believe that is correct. Either Southern Miss or perhaps an even smaller school

These are legit reasons. I can't understand how someone could hate the Packers. The town is awesome, the fans are awesome and there's no jackasses on the team. The team's history is rich. Names like Brett Favre, Vince Lombardi, and Bart Starr surround the team. Plus when you go there bundled up under 5 layers, you drink beer and eat cheese. What's more awesome than that? When I was trying to figure out who I would root for 12 years ago, the Packers were runner-up.

The reason you could hate the Packers is if you are a Bears fan. Especially if you have spent most of the last fifteen years watching No4 waltz in to your stadium and light it up time and time again. I can cope with Packers fans who were born in Wisconsin, but coosing to be a Packers fan. [shudder] I just don't know.

This is a tough route to take. The Packers have an unsure future after Brett Favre, but they could very well be an up-and-coming team. You never know.

Yea that's true. They're one of those teams that could continue their history or suck for the next 20 years.

Favre still quarterbacking in Green Bay at least gives the Lions a solid rival this year. Let the Battle for the Higher Draft Pick begin.

You really believe starting Aaron Rodgers would make the Packers a better team?

I love Aaron Rodgers. I think he'll be a great quarterback, but right now Favre is the better player so why not keep him as the starter. Favre gives the Pack the best chance to win right now.

The only thing good Favre has done is be in the movie Something about Mary-- and even then he was the douchebag who lost out to Ben Stiller- what a Manny!

When they pre-empt the muzak in the grocery stores in order to air the radio broadcasts of the Packer pre-games, then you have something special.

I'd respond personally, but I've already done so when you've left this same list in comments a few times, so you can check back on those. Good job with the consistent lobbying though.
