Fulfilling a Lost Bet to Fire and Ice Sports

After Fire and Ice Sports invited to me be a guest on their show this week, we decided to make a friendly wager on the games last Sunday. The bet? If the Packers scored  more than the Giants, my new friends would be required to wear a beautfiul T-shirt saying “Aaron Rodgers is my hero!” If the Giants scored more points than the Packers, I would have to wear a shirt saying, “Eli Manning is my hero!”

Of course, I lost. The Giants scored a field goal more than the Packers. Of course I can’t be too disappointed–my Packers still won.

Here’s the result:

And the Winner is…

For those of you who gave excellent advice to my roommate Kelli on what NFL team she should follow, this blog post is long overdue. After plenty of time to ponder, Kelli has made her decision.

Kelli is officially a fan of the New York Jets. I realize that it’s not the great Green Bay Packers. And yes, the Jets had their ups and downs this year. But I am so thankful that she decided to avoid the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. I don’t think our apartment would be able to handle the football season if she hadn’t.

Welcome to the NFL Kelli. Let’s see what the draft has to bring.

Application to become a Green Bay Packer Fan

So my co-worker sent me a lovely email today. She’s a die-hard Eagles fan. And I think she’s still a little bitter. Check it out and tell me what you think. I got a good laugh out of it. Oh and GO PACK GO!

Finding true love…with the NFL

 

For those of you who don’t know me, I have a deep passion for professional football and the Green Bay Packers. I have always been fond of the sport, and this mild obsession I have may have resulted in a few tiffs throughout college, all due to excessive “smack-talk” no doubt. My roommate, who is originally from Iowa, shares the same passion as me.

Kelli loves these guys!

Except she follows college football. Yes, she LOVES the Hawkeyes.

But we all know the unfortunate season the Hawkeyes ended on and after so much hype, too. Kelli, my roommate, one day announced that she wanted to begin following the NFL. I’m not sure if she got bored with the doomed Hawks and needed a confidence booster or what inspired her to decide she was going to become a NFL fan.

Of course I was ecstatic. And immediately started promoting the Green and Gold. She shot that idea down after no more than five seconds, and yes I became a little nervous. Side Note: I knew Kelli was a Hawkeye fan before I moved in, and I accepted it. Had she been a Bears or Vikings fan, I may have thought twice before making myself at home.

It's hard to be their friends.

Kelli has decided not to follow any of the teams from the NFC-North. Apparently, she’s sick of all the bragging about whose team is better: the Packers, Bears or Vikings (let’s face it, no one talks about Detroit). Fair enough, I can handle her cheering for an opposing team as long as it’s NOT the Bears or Vikings.
