[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 571580, member: 9364"] Well, I did grow up about maybe 80 miles north of Green Bay, so yeah it did come with the territory. But there were a couple men from the church I grew up at who had a way of making football fun. They'd invite us 5th and 6th graders to their back yards and we'd have fun playing our own version of tackle football. We were way out in the country to, and there weren't all these paranoid people running around freaking out about kids playing helmet and padless football, like you might find in some of your typical uppity cities in America today. Well, anyway, whenever one of us kids scored a td or caught a crazy pass or something, one of the men would say something like "awesome catch, just like Antonio Freeman or Robert Brooks" or something like that, so I kinda picked up on the names of Packer players and stuff. Yeah, I remember those good old days. Crazy thing too, my dad wasn't big on the Packers or the NFL really, but I loved making these antenna concoctions to pick up Fox 11 on the TV. We didn't have Cable or Satellite back then and this was way before the means to watch games on the internet was here. But you could be sure, if there was a Packer game on, I was gonna make sure that TV had it on no matter what it took me to get our little antenna working. Those good old days of Analog TV. Times have changed a lot since then, but the traditions I've had of watching Packer games and the memories of those seasons .... I will never forget. [/QUOTE]
