Free speech is more important than polite speech.

This is my last post on this thread.

Believe it or not, there was a period in my youth where I went from being a faithful member of "the Packers Faithful" to a wild, drug-fueled, horny-arsed, long-haired, flower child, who didn't watch football at all (never was a college football fan anyway) for the ensuing decade.

Then, in 1977 my wife started watching the 49ers on Sundays as well, while I was too busy working 24/7/365 to waste time on it.

She convinced me to take up the hobby again so in 1978 I returned to the fold & once more assumed the mantle of the faith I was raised in.
Since 1978 I have watched every single Packers game held - albeit I did have to listen on the radio to my Packers get hammered by the Rams in December while painting the external trim of a 3 story apartment building hanging off a the top of 60' extension ladder.
(It tipped over and crashed to the ground as soon as I had stepped off of it.)

I also had to listen to the Packers get another arse-whuppin' in the 3rd preseason game of 2006 at CIN, while we drove by Synergy Field in the dark on the way to a cousin's wedding in NJ.
We pulled up outside Pittsburgh & checked into a motel by the airport where we watched the taxis deliver & pick up Johns from a "by the hour" motel down the hillside from our balcony.

Other than those 2 specific instances though I have either watched the Packers play on TV or actually been in attendance at "The Frozen Tundra" - every single preseason, regular season & playoff game for 48 consecutive seasons

I also watched most of the games played since watching my very first Packers game in 1957 on my grandparents' TV in Appleton (WBAY ch.2 GB & the 49ers won, dangnabit) up through the Ice Bowl and the utter destruction of KC & Oakland in the First 2 AFL-NFL World Championship games.
(There was no such thingy as a "Super Bowl" until the following year's upset of the Colts by Joe "Willy" Namath.)

But at the root of my return was my wife's interest in the SF 49ers in 1977.
It's been a storied rivalry with that team from the Bay, for a loooooooong time.
Currently WE stand at (35-28-1) in the regular season but SF leads in the playoff matches (6-4).

Yer an awful long way from the West Coast to be a 49ers fan, Zee.
Wazzup widdat?
