Green Bay Packers "HATE" Thread

[FloridaRob]

In the modern day era, "The Lombardi" is what the NFL teams are playing for in regards to it's championship recognition. You can have your "World Championships", because these days they aren't worth squat. If it was the case, don't you know the Eagles fans would be so elated to claim a champion team....nuff said

Of course the Lombardi is what NFL teams play for. It is all that there is to play for. I would also agree that all the World Championshiops won by all teams arent worth squat including Packers, Cowboys, Steelers and Patriots. But a Lombardi is a World Championship Trophy and other than last years winner-INdy, none of them mean anything. A World Championship tells the legacy of a franchise. The Packers have 12 of them. More than any other team in the league. Their franchise is storied. You or anybody else discounting what they have accomplished because it did not occur during what you perceive as the correct time parameters won't change that.

Oh look, the little "FIB" is back..........:laugh2: Your explanation of the acronym fits you well

I'm not really a FIB because I'm a Packers fan even though I live in FIB Land.

You gotta get these things right man. No wonder we're America's Team and you're not.

How many team were around during that time? 10, 11, what? Big freaking deal! You sound just like an eagle fan that comes here thumping your chest about something that happened when Moby Dick was a guppie and Col. Sanders was a Private...

What have the Peckers won recently with all 32 teams? Nothing, that's what...

America's Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



America’s Team is a self proclaimed term often used to describe the Dallas Cowboys franchise that plays in the NFC East of the National Football League.[1] The term is recognized and often used by media outlets, including ESPN [2] and Yahoo! [3] .

Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team’s 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a title for the film.[4] He was quoted as saying:

"I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television."

Drawing upon this inspiration and that of other nationally followed sports teams, such as the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in college football and the Boston Celtics in pro basketball, which Ryan said "are all America’s teams," he decided to use America’s Team as the name of the highlight film.

During the Cowboys' first game of the 1979 season, a nationally televised game against the St. Louis Cardinals (which Dallas won 22-21), the television announcer introduced the Cowboys as America’s Team and the nickname stuck.

Dallas’ Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry originally did not approve of the appellation. He felt that it would give opposing teams extra incentive to play harder. Eventually he gave in and actually came to like the name.[5]

In 2003, NFL Films released a DVD collection chronicling the Dallas Cowboys franchise entitled The Dallas Cowboys: The Complete History of America's Team 1960-2003

Was it ****** In the Butt? Must be prison or something.

We KNOW we're America's Team.

You guys will just have to learn to deal with it.

walk up to any person outside of your village and ask them what the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the term "Americas team" is and you'll get your answer...

only Packers fans call the Packers Americas team :laugh2:

:starspin

 

[HighTechDave]

Feel the Love here?????

 

[dcowboysfan76]

Feel the Love here?????

I guess that what they say about Brett Favre is true

 

[CowboyMike]

Do you Packers fans realize there wouldn't even BE the label of America's Team if it wasn't for the Cowboys?

NFL Films originated the term by calling us that in a documentary film in the 60s. Without us, there wouldn't even be the debate.

I mean, come on guys, we are the original America's Team. We had the name first, and you want to take it from us. I simply call that envy.

 

[HighTechDave]

I guess that what they say about Brett Favre is true

I guess I should have put it on the "look-alike" thread

:laugh2:

America's team is the Dallas Cowboys. You dont have tailgates without pickup trucks and you dont have americas team without the Dallas Cowboys. There are cowboy fans everywhere you go because people like the cowboys. There are packer fans everywhere because they are transplants trying to get out of the god-forsaken frozen hell-hole of Green Bay, WI.

To keep with the thread topic, I like Favre, but hate the packers b/c of the ugliest uniforms in the NFl. Green and yellow, what the hell were you thinking? Also, the mascot, the dreaded cheese packers are coming to get us, just strikes fear in the hearts of all.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Wiconsin, North and South Dakota, and smaller parts of the mid-west does not constitute America

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

How can you hate on the REal Americas TEam?

Small team America, Best Qb in the game, best Stadium to watch a game, How could you possibly hate on that team? It is like apple pie, the Flag, your 1st grade girlfriend....Can't hate em....

I'd say it's more like ice-fishing with a hangover with a sweetie who has a mustache and then downing 5 pounds of sausage before the polka festival.
Then puking on the frozen tundra.

Face it: If the team was not owned by the public, it would already be in L.A., Oklahoma City or Salt Lake City.
Talk about a pipsqueak market.

 

[QT]

I hate Bob Stern. Ship him back to Green Bay! Is that a city or a country?

another Cowboy fan that does not know what he talks about. Not all Packer fan originated from Wisconsin just like all Cowboy fans did not originate from Dallas. With the advent of the NFL on TV, the Packers captured the 60's, the Steelers and Cowboys captured the 70s. There are just as many or more Packer fans that have never stepped into Wisconsin as there are that lived in Green Bay.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Wiconsin, North and South Dakota, and smaller parts of the mid-west does not constitute America

So Texas with 50% of the population not even legal US citizens constitutes America?

My guess is you've never been North of Plano so **** awesome person.

Why start with the Super Bowl? Let's forget about the 70's and 80's as well, since that was 20 and 30 years ago.

I say we only look at titles won in the last 11 years.

Packers 1, Cowboys 0.

It's very simple, really.

The beginning of the Super Bowl era marked a paradigm shift in football. The game became a professional, year-round endeavor. Training regimens and sports technology began advancing at a faster rate. Players became much bigger and quicker. Schemes were no longer simple pictures drawn in the dirt; they turned into complicated strategies capable of evolving. All teams were consolidated into one NFL. There were no longer numerous, highly comparable leagues each with its own championship.

That's why the Super Bowl has achieved such a level of renown. It's a legitimate world championship.

Happy cow's live in California. Unhappy bloated, ******** cow's live in Wisconsin.

"the dreaded cheese packers are coming to get us, just strikes fear in the hearts of all."

I believe originally it was "meat" packers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[HighTechDave]

Happy cow's live in California. Unhappy bloated, ******** cow's live in Wisconsin.

I've been to both places, and Wisconsin's Scandinavians seem to have larger/bloated Utters. So is the rest of the package, per average
