If it came off as defending them, I apologize, was not the point of the post.

Using examples to offset comments like this..

History is not on the Packers side here.
I remember in 1986 in a game between Chicago and Green Bay. A Packer defensive end named Charles Martin grabbed Jim McMahon out fo the blue after the whistle blew and just threw him on his throwing shoulder.
Clearly a cheap shot! Of course the packers got a 15 yard penalty, but the damage was done to McMahon, he wasn't the same QB after that hit.
I wouldn't put it past some of the D line this coming game and if it happens just like in baseball you can expect retrabution.

Or This

Packers fans are such babies. It reminds me of that video where those Green Bay supertards watching the draft call the Packers GM a "Nazi-Jew" for his "g*y" draft pick.

Nothing more.. I am the first to admit that we have jackasses amongst us in Packer nation. These two chowder heads just moved up that embarrassing spreadsheet.

Call it, a certain aversion to being clumped in with the likes of these knuckleheads that have a poor sense of sport.

I guess that since I'd already seperated you from the chaff, and saw you as someone who was merely misguided in his team selection, I was shocked see you becoming defensive.
And trust me when I say, you are in the minority of Packer fans

As far as I'm concerned, YOU don't need yourself from accusations of being a classless packtard (Clueless in team selection maybe, but not classless), so the tenor of that post shocked me.

And again, we all recognize that every team has a pocket of classless fans...I'd say that on average it's around 5-10% (except the Eagles...they're around 85% classless).
Just understand that most of us here don't put you in that category.

This afternoon, Milwaukee Sports radio station WSSP AM 1250 afternoon "The Big Show" show hosts, Ex-Packer Gary Ellerson and Josh Vernier did a whole one hour bit on how they hope the Packers somehow hurt Favre, and whether or not it's classless for Packer fans to cheer for this.

They built their case for Injuring Favre around all of the "Wrong" that Favre had done to the Green Bay fans and organization, all this discussed as Ellerson and Vernier laughed on air while discussing the various ways that the Packers defense could, and should "Put Favre Out".

They even "jokingly" mentioned compound fractures, concussions, and even going as far toying with the prospects of spine boards and paralysis

Does anybody here agree with "The Big Show"?

If Allen has a chance to crippled Rodgers should he take it?

Absolutely classless. Very bad energy. I do believe they have just cursed themselves.

This radio show discussion should clear up any possible confusion as to why they are called cheeseheads. Smelly, dehydrated, fermented milk that has a tendency to cause constipation. Cheeeez heds.

Here is the thread on the PackersHome forum. Looks like Vikings fans have done some of that "cursing" you speak so self-righteously about.
I'd bet dollars to donuts I could find...a crap load of references RIGHT HERE, about the same guy, and the desire of some to injure him.
Don't think so?
It is classless.
It is also not unique to any team, including, possibly especially--Your own.

I wouldn't expect this to be understood.
See "Hit myself with a no-bounce to appreciate the perspective"

http://packershome.com/index.php?nam...ewtopic&t=6406

I found this one enlightening:

When I was a kid, we always used to attend the Packer-Viking game in Bloomington at old Metropolitan Stadium (and one year at Memorial Stadium at the U).

I'll never forget the game where, after it came over the stadium PA system that Gale Sayers had tore up his knee badly, a lot of the Viking fans in my vicinity cheered. And for the longest time that memory shaped my belief that Viking fans were lower on the evolutionary chain than Packer fans or other ethical beings.

In recent years, of course, I've realized that one finds no shortage of equally bad excuses for human beings among the ranks of "Packer fans." People who don't understand the difference between hitting to be remembered and hitting to injure, between a hard hit and a cheap hit, between an attempt to tackle with relish and relishing the harming.

Any one who wishes Favre to suffer injury can, to mind, go spend their Sundays wherever PortaPotties get emptied.

Hmmm. I'm certain that no radio station here would host ex-Vikings players conversing about or promoting acts of violence on the football field for the purpose of seriously harming another player. As for finding posts here supporting that kind of thing......be my guest, and have a look-see. My position is the same, no matter who the team is. Including my own. But that wasn't the subject of this thread, was it?
Next time, when you feel the urge to condescend to someone, go elsewhere.

How do you know what your radio stations will or will not do?
If they do, does that reflect upon all Vikings fans, or is that only germane (big word, sorry) if that happens in Wisconsin? You can't even read what your own fellow members have written in this very same forum.
Heck, you can't even read what they have said in this very same thread...A strong argument could be made that some of the comments..uhhhh, rrrriight here in this thread by some of your classy fellow Vikings fans admit to to the same conduct you so condescendingly ascribe to all Packer fans, apparently.
If that was not the intent, I'd suggest getting a better command of the English language prior to making strongly opinionated statements.
Sorry I can't coddle to you like your purple brethren.
I just wish that people that write also knew how to read.

What a joke.

Here's another on what this "thread is not about'.
Also in Milwaukee, btw.
Article in the JSOnline about soft sales for this game.

http://www.jsonline.com/business/63007317.html

"Minnesota people are cheap people," Holzberger said. "They are bringing the price down."

Should I start a thread about that?
Using some of the logic (or lack thereof) on display here should I assume that everyone in Minnesota is cheap?

That has to be the worst homer article I've ever read, and I thought the STrib was bad. Still, it follows the classness in the Wisconsin media this week. Because I'm sure the expert opinion of a Miluakee ticket scalper is newsworthy. Sheesh, next thing they'll print will be, exclusive report from the crotchety old man down the block about how he, "don't know em, don't want to know em."

Any fan wishing injuries is classless. On the field though I don't think you can Monday Morning QB any "dirty hit." The emotion and energy is way different from being in the stands and if you ever play afraid to hurt someone, you're done.
