Football! (the real kind, not the European variety)

[Polk]

I'm a Green Bay Packers fan until the day I die. We should get to see Aaron Rodgers shine as quarterback this year, with a full season under his belt. The defense should be greatly improved over the mediocre performance from last year, with the inclusion of Dom Capers as Defensive Coordinator, and a couple of strong defensive draft picks.

I root for the Packers. They haven't been doing too well lately. Aaron Rodgers is fairly good, actually, but he's not as good as Favre was. Although I don't really think he was the problem last year... from what I hear (the Packers weren't on TV a whole lot last year, so I didn't get to see them.)

That can be disputed. Rodgers put up great numbers last year, but in the same respect, can be blamed for not making big plays when he needed to. In my opinion, the defense was more to blame last year for giving up a lot of late game points, when we had a lead (7 out of their 10 losses last year were by four points or less).

I also used to hate the Lions, but they're in such a sad state of affairs, how can you really hate them? Plus I made a friend from Michigan when I was in Yellowstone, so... yeah.

It's sad, they're the only other team in the NFC North that I don't hate. It's like hating a retarded puppy. You have to have no soul to hate them these days.
