Mr Zirin is proof that the ability to string words together in a clever way does not guarantee that their meaning will be either accurate or truthful. The only football fans unaware of the peculiar aspects of the ownership of the Packers are those still being bounced on their parent’s knee.

Uh, that is Mark Murphy. And back in the day, a brutally hard-hitting safety for the Redskins.

I guess Nation must pay by the word. Laborious read/screed.

Agree with him about the Black-Eyed Peas, at least.

I hope a few dozens of tens of thousands of Wisconsin voters remember this Obama snub of the Packers come November 2012.

Further testimony that something right happened in the Superbowl is that President Wrong, disciple of the very irreverend Jeremiah Wrong, hasn’t as of now called to congratulate the winners.

“Maybe the president can show up to Lambert field and meet the Pack....”

Saying that within his hearing would precipitate a sudden case of temporary deafness in the pseudo-president.

Bears repeating that Packers CEO Mark Murphy is about 55 years old and retired from the NFL in 1984!

The fact that they haven't won more then a few Super Bowls shows that this left-wing gasbag doesn't deal in reality.

How does 13 World titles suit you...?
