Greetings from Valhalla

corey in Cheesehead4life

I’m not a fan of golf but I am a fan of getting paid and so I find myself just outside of Louisville, Kentucky working on the Ryder Cup. Hopefully the American team wins for the first time in over a decade. I’m wearing a hard hat in the pic because our stage happens to be at the end of the driving range. This is my very first job being a target for professional golfers so thank goodness I have my Packer hard hat.

I spent last Sunday watching the Detroit game from our trailer using a slingbox (thanks Dad) in the middle of the remnants of Hurricane Ike. It’s good to be using a generator in the middle of a storm. Thank you to Jon Quit-na for imploding.

For those of you who miss not having a Packer Transplants podcast this week - don’t worry - Aaron and I are back on Thursday night with a new download for Friday morning.

Hopefully we will be talking about a thorough trouncing of the Cowboys.

Maybe then this team will get some respect. Go Pack!

My cousins are all die-hard Packer fans

corey in Brett Favre, Cheesehead4life

Ok, I know everyone is sick of talking about Brett Favre. I have been trying not to write this post for the last couple days, but my Wisconsin cousins keep sending me great stuff that I have to share.

The pic is from my cousin Dustin, I saw a similar one at Packer Palace today as well. Waupun, WI.

Then there is the nicely produced Brett Favre and the Jets (Benny and the Jets) parody song sent to me by my cousin Dennis. I haven’t found this version on the internet yet. When I have searched I keep finding this lame one with a guy who cannot sing and the lyrics aren’t as good. This version’s production values are amazing.

Brett Favre and the Jets Parody Song

And then there is my cousin Margo who wrote me a letter (remember those?) about the whole Favre fiasco and included a clipping from the Post-Crescent from Aug. 10th with a point/counterpoint entitled “Are Brett Favre fans Packer fans?” Margo states:

Bill & I took a ride up to Green Bay to watch their first practice, expected to see Favre but instead after his meeting with all the big wigs that day he drove off to the airport and left. You should have seen the tension of fans at the practice, thought for sure there would be a fight. There was a group chanting “Bring Favre Back” (mostly everyone in favor of Favre..hate signs for Thompson!) while someone else was yelling burn the #4 Favre jersey…Did you watch the first Packer game, right before it started it said…”Teams win Championships. Individuals don’t.”

And there it is. When people write to us and say “How can you have a blog in New York City about the Packers?” I can say…it’s in our blood. And I mean it. I love my family. Go Pack!

Bowling as a metaphor

corey in Cheesehead4life

While a Packer fan civil war rages in the background, high aloft the Cheesehead TV studios lives a nerd who designs little icons for the blog and forum. This happens to be one of the better ones.

Never forget. Packers Rule. All other teams bow down. Pack4life!

If Brett can make it there

corey in Brett Favre, Cheesehead4life

I took the picture of NYC from an Regional Jet flying into Laguardia. It’s gonna be a sweet trip for Brett when he sees the city from a helicopter with Jets officials this week.

Oh and I will cheer for Brett. I will never chant “J. E . T. S . Jet Jets Jets” though. Still conflicted on the whole firemens helmet crazy mascot guy thing as well.
