It wasn’t a follow you tweet,it was from another..to assume someone is following you before checking your list is simply a ‘loser’ thing to do.

Sorry just reread the post.

I scanned it too quickly and thought ‘wearing a jersey every GAME day’ was ‘wearing a jersey every DAY’.

My bad.

“Being a Packers fan requires unconditional love. You don’t love the Packers because they are good. You love them because they are yours, good and bad.”

Amen Kathy. Amen.

Good article. I have a post like this in me because I think that a lot of Packers fans are spoiled and by spoiled, I mean they don’t know what it’s like to be on the bottom of the barrel year after year and hoping that next season will get better.

Last week, while listening to Green and Gold today, when asked which Packers season was the worst that they remember and the majority of the answers were post 1992. That was very telling to me.

When I hear people now say that they’re giving up on the team, it makes me laugh. People were still fans during the 70s and 80s and didn’t stop because the team was bad. They criticized the play, but never stopped being fans. Yes, we got frustrated, but we still stayed fans. Because there was always next year.

Flouncing out of Packers fandom because this season isn’t a carbon copy of last season means you weren’t a true fan in the first place.

Being a Packers fan is everything you listed, plus one more thing. Being a Packers fan requires unconditional love. You don’t love the Packers because they are good. You love them because they are yours, good and bad.

What line are you talking about? I don’t see that line anywhere?

John Taryn is negative a lot of the time. And she gets personal in her attacks too. It’s too bad.

But all in all, I find her less annoying than Cow or Rocky or Pack66.

btw – good article. But I too would change ‘wearing packer gear every day’ to ‘wearing packer gear at least once a week, and 2x a week during the season’.

You know what I enjoy about you Taryn? How you rarely comment unless it’s something which attempts to bash the author. I remember you from GPN and you did the same thing to me over there as well. And now you decide to voice your opinion on something here for the first time and trash not only what I wrote, but also question my ability for rational thought.

Do me and everyone else a favor-go troll somewhere else. I’ve got better things to do then worry about whether you’re going to feel all warm and fuzzy after reading something, and I sure don’t need to have you question me in any way, shape or form.

And by the way-unfollow me on twitter too, since you’re trolling me there too.

One can quibble about the criteria you apply to being a Packer fan. But I think we can all agree that “fair weather” should be excluded.

I’m upset with the season thus far. But who I root for will always be:

1) The Packers
2) Any team playing the Bears or the Vikings

I saw your tweet about removing the line as it ruffled some ‘delicate feelings’…you mean ‘sane’ feelings.

I have no choice but wear my Packer gear every day, Packer tattoo is not removable! I have been a fan long enough to remember that there were years that by this stage of the season we were already thinking about next year, seasons were wins could be, and often were, counted on one hand. One game does not a season make! I do want to see improvement, any fan that doesn’t isn’t paying attention. But win or lose, A PACKER FAN FOR LIFE!!

“A Packers fan wears an article of Packers clothing every day, regardless if it is football season or not”.

Thats the dumbest,ignorant,mentally unbalanced description of a Packer fan or any fan ever heard or seen written.

Reading the rest wasn’t an option after that…you Sir are out there if you live under that guise.
