Green Bay: Home of NFL's most pathetic fans

I tend to give this reward to New Yorkers, but I do have to give credit to New Yorkers for two things: they seem to be having fun at every game no matter what the score (in other words, they understand it's just a game) and when their players play badly, they admit it, and they let the players know it.

When the Packers play poorly it's the refs fault. In Green Bay, when a ref calls an obvious offsides or false start, fans boo as if the ref just assaulted their mothers. Their reaction is even more comical when you consider that Green Bay and Saint Favre usually are helped by poor officiating.

Green Bay is a bad team (for every NFC team, subtract five wins from their record to see what their record would be in the AFC). Green Bay is not bad because of officiating. They're bad because Sherman's a terrible coach, Ahmad Green always fumbles at the worst possible times, and Favre is several years past his prime and makes about ten "rookie mistakes" per game.

Also, is there a dumber gimmick than the cheesehead?

Eleven of those championships weren't in most of those fans lifetimes. Senile Dick Enberg made that comment after fans strongly reacted to a replay being reviewed; that takes a lot of knowledge -- having a strong reaction to a controversial play.

I just came across your post, which reads:

"They're bad because Sherman's a terrible coach, Ahmad Green always fumbles at the worst possible times, and Favre is several years past his prime and makes about ten "rookie mistakes" per game."

AT LEAST, most Packers' fans know his name in AHMAN Green not Ahmad...

How knowledgable do YOU look now??
