And why we let our happiness be determined by such things as sporting events, over which we have no control whatsoever and "ownership" of a team to the same degree, continues to be a mystery.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Some of actually ARE owners, 5sdad.

Still, it doesn't control my life or determine my happiness. It's just a diversion, much like making disparaging, carping remarks on the internet is for some people.

... and Cobb's injury was only the latest in a long string of injuries this year that crippled the Packers throughout the second half of the season and the playoffs. Their record when they were healthy, up to Week 6 of the regular season, showed what they could do if they remained healthy.

The work done by the backup-backup receivers last night was pretty damn good. Unfortunately, they haven't worked with Rodgers enough for them to know the reads like Nelson & Cobb do, so there were a lot of "airball" passes that looked like Rodgers making a bad throw when in fact the receiver simply didn't know he was supposed to be going where the ball was thrown.

Regardless, it was a great game. I felt sorry for my daughter and son-in-law, who watched it with me in their home in Green Bay. They live and breathe Packer football, it was a heartbreaker for them.

Oh, well. They'll learn. I've been a Cowboys, Packers, and Notre Dame fan since the 60's. After a while you get used to watching your team go down in flames.


Good points Doc.
I thought I felt a disturbance in the force. grin

I can see "ownership" is lost on you and some of us find happiness in being a stock holder in the Packers, no matter what the season results are.

Can a sports team break your heart? Metaphorically, yes.

I saw a meme that I got a chuckle out of and posted it. That's all there is to it. No harm intended. There just aren't any Packer fans in my house.

But it was complexly inappropriate, in fact false.

Aaron played one hell of a game, with what he had to deal with.

Carson's numbers did look better for last night, despite the fact he damn near had 5 picks.
