Vote Now
Our 1st poll is live! Vote for your favorite (or not so favorite) football team! GO PACK!
Football dose not interest me so, but I am supportive of you enjoyment of the team 'Pack'. I tottaly appologize for my fathers actions on the goldenrod sheet, with the crossing of the Pack and all... I shouldn't have let him sign alone. Back on topic, Is there any prectiular reason for the Packers? If so, what? And what team would you choose if there was no packers to root for? I dont know if you acctualy read/reply to any of these, but If you do I would LOVE to know. Its the small details that intrest me really. I'm sure your getting tired (if you are) of reading this, so all I have to say now is: Go Pack!
In response to Stephanie P-LRT 5/6B--I appreciate your support of my fanaticsm of the Packers and I also understand and appreciate your Dad's sense of humor.
I grew up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I watched Packers games since I can remember and when I was very young the Packers weren't very good. They were awful for a very long time until Brett Favre arrived and eventually won a Super Bowl. I love watching the game of football and in fact, I have season tickets to the Minnesota Gophers Football games.
I've noticed that you've already added to your blog and laid out the ground rules for those who post. I'm impressed.
I really don't mind the Packers, but don't think I could ever get totally get into professional football. Ever since I was a kid, I grew up college football, rooting for the Buckeyes, and booing USC and Michigan (but more USC). For me, college players are just more into it, they play for fun, not money. It's just more exciting for me to watch a Ohio State-Michigan game than a Viking-Packer game
Usually I will root for the Vikings if they are playing, but I'm not obsessed with them or anything. I don't really mind the Packers, even though everyone else in my family hates them (sorry Mr. Buckley!). My all-time favorite team would be the Pittsburg Stealers though!
Jackson C.-LRT 5/6A--I understand what you're saying about college players playing for the love of the game. But that's one great thing about Brett Favre. He truly just loves to play football. That's what makes him special!
There's nothing like watching Brett Favre take the field! GO PACK!!!

If you remember, a few weeks ago I posted a picture of my Yellow Labrador Retriever, Maddie and her pal Sophie. Sophie is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's Golden Retriever. Last week Sophie passed away at the age of 13. She was a great dog and Maddie (as well as the rest of us) will miss her dearly.

Here's a picture of Nate and I at a Minnesota Gopher Football game. I am a Minnesota Gopher Football season ticket holder. Although the Gophers weren't very good this year, I still supported them wholeheartedly. I consider myself a true fan.

Ben is playing with doggie Maddie. Although Maddie is a very energetic Yellow Lab, she is incredibly gentle and tolerant of my two boys. They can sit on her and hug her and she just puts up with it.

My wife and I had a great time at the Packers-Vikings game on Sunday! Packers 34, Vikings 0. There is no place better to watch a football game than Lambeau Field! GO PACK!!!

Halloween 2007 wasn't very scary for the Buckley family. Ben was a lobster and Nate was a Teddy Bear. (Notice my EDINA sweatshirt-- Always showing school spirit!)

THE BOSTON RED SOX ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Ever wonder what Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, looks like? Here's a picture from a game I've attended there. The seats are small and uncomfortable but it is a great place to watch a game! Look to the left of me and you can see Wally the Green Monster! (If you don't know who that is, just ask.)

In honor of the Red Sox making it to the World Series, I've posted a picture of Nate and Ben in their Red Sox outfits. My wife, Sarah, is a huge Red Sox fan--almost as fanatical as I am about the Packers!

Hey Mr. Buckley the Packers will be better this year with their D-Line and with Brett leading but I think their recieving corps is a little young..
Football dose not interest me so, but I am supportive of you enjoyment of the team 'Pack'.
