Want to Tailgate with Packers Fans at the Lions Game? Read on…

The Pack MentalityThere’s nothing like going to a Packers game in enemy territory and seeing the annoyed looks on the faces of opposing fans as you walk by; that “what are you doing in my backyard?” look. Well imagine the looks a big, loud organized Packers tailgate is going to get.

More importantly, if you’re going to the game, you want to hang with fellow Packers fans to revel in the greatness that is being a Packers fan. Well, here’s your chance.

The fine folks over at ThePackMentality.com are holding a full-out tailgate just for you – the Packer fan.

There will be all-you-can-eat wings, ribs, brats and beer, Madden Football, TVs, trivia contests, and giveaways. In a late development, we’ve found out that Hooters girls will be there serving up the food.

Does this sound like a fun time or what?

Go get your “Pre-Game” on at the Pack mentality Tailgate.

 

The location for the tailgate is:

The Pack Mentality Detroit Tailgate 

Located at Shelter 2 NW Quad

Eastern Market 

2934 Russell Street, Detroit MI 48207

To get your tickets and full information on the event, go to their event page and be sure to check out their website and “like”  their Facebook page.

Have a great time, everyone and represent Packer Nation well!

Packers Fan Panic – Looking at the reasons

Packers Fan Panic - Looking at the reasons

Packers Fan panic – why?

After a tough week 1 loss to the 49ers, Packer fans took to every medium possible and were ready to jump off the ledge.After a tough week 1 loss to the 49ers, Packer fans took to every medium possible and were ready to jump off the ledge.While it surely doesn’t happen often in season openers, let alone home season openers, it does happen. Now to be fair and for those of you who follow and hopefully will now follow me on Twitter, I definitely was waving the white flag a bit early in the 49ers game. Reason? I have watched this team and their tendencies since Aaron Rodgers took over at QB. They don’t tend to play as well when having to come from behind. They haven’t taken well to being out muscled and don’t have many last minute wins under their belt so the situation just didn’t seem ripe for a comeback. Now I’m not saying they can’t win a game in the last minute. I wouldn’t put anything past Aaron Rodgers and after all he is the reigning NFL MVP.

Christmas at Lambeau: An Experience Of A Lifetime

Post-Victory. What a Christmas gift!

If there is one thing I have learned growing up in Wisconsin, it’s that when someone offers you a free ticket to a Green Bay Packers game you must say yes or face terrible consequences.

Even on Christmas Day.

First a little background: I work two jobs, both in retail. Obviously the arrival of Christmas was a big relief to me as it’s the sign that the craziness that began the day after Thanksgiving was finally coming to an end.  With both employers being closed, I was looking forward to the day off and quiet time with family and watching Packers vs. Bears on TV before going back in at 5:30 am on the 26th.

Then the phone rang at about 9 am.

You don’t expect too many phone calls Christmas Day aside from relatives outside the area calling to say “Merry Christmas.” This one, however, was a very different (and honestly a much better) phone call.

It was cousin, ironically from Illinois but a Packers season ticket holder. He had a spare ticket to the game Sunday night and asked if I wanted to go along, no charge at all.  If ever there was a stupid question, this is it.

The Green Bay Packers Have “Rich White Guy Problems”

The next time Adam Carolla goes on one of his rants about “rich white guy problems,” he should find a way to work in the Green Bay Packers.

Carolla is a former carpenter and boxing coach who entered the world of mass media. His resume includes co-hosting the popular radio show Loveline, various movie and TV credits, and creating a massively popular podcast.

Carolla’s podcasts are filled with over-the-top rants and observations about politics, marriage, race and sports. One of Carolla’s more amusing rants revolves around “problems” that only he and other “rich white guys” have. Examples include having to watch a 42-inch plasma TV while the 65-inch TV gets fixed, being inconvenienced by the family maid as she cleans the mansion and deciding which $1,000 bottle of vodka to buy in the VIP room at the club.

Folks, the Packers also have rich white guy problems.

The problems don’t have anything to do with being white, but have everything to do with being rich. Only a guy who has more money than he knows what to do with gets annoyed at the in-home maid who asks you to lift your feet while she vacuums the carpet.

Only a football team as stacked as the Packers can have a veteran CB call one half of the team a “liability” when they’re 8-0. And only a fanbase as spoiled as the Packers’ faithful can get so worried about their undefeated team.

Yes, the pass defense breaks down too often.

Hey Look, a Packers Rap Video that Doesn’t Completely Suck

Seems like every other day, I come across yet another Packers rap song and video. Ever the optimist, I always check them out and usually don’t make it past 30 seconds. With all due apologies to the folks that spend all the time and effort making these things, they usually are just horribly bad. Normally, my main issue is with the lyrics. They’re just lame.

I also usually have a good chuckle at watching  what is normally a couple of white kids from Wisconsin trying to come off as hard core rappers. I know that’s some of my NY, big-city snootiness coming through, so please don’t take too much offense – but it does make me laugh…

But guess what folks, somebody has done it right.  A nice sound bed, some creative lyrics that actually make sense and no phony hard-core rapper airs. And plus, they got Weird Al Yankovic to be in the video!

…What?  That’s not Wierd Al?

Well regardless, I actually watched the whole video and then watched it again. And I still liked it.  This video gets my official seal of approval. First one to do so…

If you haven’t seen it, enjoy…
