Good timing! [The Onion](http://www.theonion.com/content/news/michael_vick_fails_to_inspire_team?utm_source=a-section) has done it for me.

I normally do not get behind complaints about other posters or moderators for that matter - but I cannot deny that your evidence is indisputable.

Packers still in first!

Every time my ex and I traveled I would wear my packer gear when on the road. She was always shocked at how many packer fans there were everywhere and how we always helped each other out. For example, we got to a campground early to grab a first come first serve spot but the group in front of us got the last two. When they turned from the counter they noticed my packer hoodie and we talked about the pack for a minute. They ended up saying they didn’t really need to lots and gave the other one to us! There are several other examples; it just proves that the Pack are indeed, god’s team.

So, in your effort to show how wonderful Packer fans are, you cite some Packer fans who hog the last two campsites when they really only need one. Nice. 😃

No, according to the info I have in your file, pages 37, 56, and 118-122 inclusive show that that sort of thing doesn’t really bother you for more than a moment.

And minor post? This is FOOTBALL, woman! Hating the Superbowl is NOT a minor thing in these sorts of matters! Why if you were in the game room- the words that would be said…

Tsk tsk.  
Good work, Hal, for keeping up with the files.

Truth be told, the files aren’t nearly as thorough as I might let on. It pretty much just focuses on dissident activities, such as not watching the Super Bowl.

A catch is a catch. 😃 I actually do like the Bengals as well. Come to think of it, there’s only a few teams that I really dislike.

I thought that was when the ball bounced off the back of Jason Witten’s foot into the hands of some Giant.
