Too scared to run the numbers. Just let the myth live. ;)

14/08 Jermichael Finley
Shortly after Finley's appearance, he was having a fantastic camp and Tory Humphrey suffered a broken arm. This left the #2 TE spot wide open, ready for Finley and his breakout year. Finley came back later for another boost which propelled him to his first 100-yard receiving game and the second-most yards received by a TE in a playoff game.
Bump Status: CONFIRMED BUMP
15/08 Dane Randolph
After his interview, Dane was waived on September 4 then resigned less than a month later.
Bump Status: NO BUMP
15/08 Nick Barnett
After his training camp interview, Barnett went on to start all games, up from the previous year where he only managed 9 due to injury, and notched up 81 tackles and a career-high 4 sacks.
Bump Status: CONFIRMED BUMP
20/08 Jaron Harris
Jaron was waived ten days after his appearance on Cheesehead Nation.
Bump Status: NO BUMP
3/09 Jarius Wynn
Wynn played 11 games in 2009, made four tackles. Who knows where he'd be if he didn't appear on Cheesehead Nation.
Bump Status: INCOMPLETE
26/09 Brad Jones
Although Jones played in most games for the Pack in one form or another, after appearing on Cheesehead Nation, Jones had the opportunity to start after a season-ending injury to Kampman who then left in free agency. He played solidly, not incredibly, but Cheesehead Nation appears to have been a career starter.
Bump Status: CONFIRMED BUMP
So, for 2009, the Cheesehead Bump has approximately a 58.3% success rate. Not statistically significant. At least we're not hurting anyone. Maybe we just need another season full of awesome Packer special guests to find out for sure. Or maybe the Bump just brings out the ability in those who already have the potential to be awesome.
