Great News!!!!
I told you yesterday about our list of most painful moments for Packers fans. I could only come up with nine….Now I have ten!
I’ll say this. The Giants were the better team yesterday. There were some goofy breaks for both teams and overall I think the Giants had a few more lucky breaks their way, but hats off to them. They lost to the Cowboys twice in the regular season, then go into Dallas and beat them. They then have to travel to Green Bay, who beat them handily in the regular season, and outplay the Packers. They deserve to play in the Super Bowl. Toomer and Burress were making catches that were incredible in the best of conditions and Manning took precisely what was given to him and didn’t try and force it. Their RBs time and time again were hit 4 yards back and fell to the line of scrimmage or better. It happens. I think the Packers are the better team, but they lost to a team that rose to the occasion.
Which brings up the list…in no particular order ten painful memories I have thanks to the Packers:
1. Super Bowl loss to Denver ‘97 season
2. Giving up 4th and 26 to the Eagles in the playoffs to lose 2004
3. Rice fumble non-call and TO’s sick TD catch jan 3rd 99
4. Atlanta killing the Pack in the playoffs to hand Green Bay it’s first EVER home playoff loss 2003
5. Vikes playoff win (slaughter) in G bay
6. 21-6 loss to ‘boys in 96 in dallas
7. Up 31-14 on the chiefs in the fourth quarter : lose 40 34 in OT 2003
8. 11/16/97 8-2 Packers lose to 0-10 Colts (Packers won the rest of their games to finish…13-3)
9. Loss to Giants yesterday
10. Favre’s 6 INT loss to Rams
There is more to comment on each one, but first I’d like Packers fans (and others) to comment as they wish on these moments or add some of your own. Obviously there are a few Vikes and Bears fans that read this, so feel free to add your Triumphs over the Packers to continue my pain.
I can’t see why the son wasn’t arrested in this article…

This is what Iraq looks like.
When in Rome...
Hitting the Hookah. It was Strawberry flavored. Odd....
At least there's not a War to focus on.
We have a saying in the Army..."There wouldn't be a rule unless someone has done it."
This is how I roll
It is a little tough to return fire, but hey the Germans used bicycle scouts!
Sheik Hoffmann
A normal Muslim man is allowed 4 wives. A Sheik is allowed 10.....you know...for the good of the Tribe
Jena and her baby
Jena is the bossy daughter of a shopkeeper next to the Check Point. If there's a long line for the searches she'll yell in english "HURRY UP!" To my knowledge that and the Barney "I Love You" song is the only english she knows.
Sand Surfing
Push Cart guys having some fun with me. Because the only vehicles allowed into Ameriya are residents, grocers and other delivery trucks must pay these guys to move their cargo into the town.
Iraqi Kids
Iraqi Kids at Check Point in front of their house. The little girl walks around singing the Barney song and the kid in the hat pedals his tricycle around in circles for hours...kids are kids are kids...
No thanks, I'm busy...
My Dad, Jer, Connor, and Kelli on the Frozen Tundra. My dad has been freeloading off of my inability to get to WI for 2 seasons now...
My Offspring
Goofing off at the Airport coming back from WI
Connor at "The Frozen Tundra"
What you can't see is that Connor is standing in the bed of a pick-up amongst the blood from the previous night's Deer hunt

See? No comments. What is someone supposed to say about a post like this? Everyone knows the Packers and their level of Suck. No comments required.
Atlanta handed GB its loss... not it's loss!
Ahhh... the Super Bowl! I still have that Bronco's poster, when you get back, you can visit it any time you like!!
What I'll always remember most about watching the '97 Superbowl at Adam's apartment is that for every GB game that season he made this delicious cheese dip and for some reason - and despite heavy protest - he decided to change up the recipe for the Superbowl. No one could ever prove that's why they lost - but seriously, who does that?
