My sister, Ashli, asked me if I was planning on watching the Super Bowl. My reply was “not if I can help it.” But here I am, the TV is on and there’s 14:54 left in the first quarter. I have two Pack fans in the house right now, and everyone else is going for the Steelers. I was explaining to Katie this morning why I dislike the Packers and it all goes back to a memory from my childhood. I was flying to Milwaukee from Orlando when I was 8 or 9 and the plane was filled with Packers fans. They were the most obnoxious people that I had ever heard or seen in all of my years (all nine of them). They were decked out in green and gold for some reason, and they were loud, huge, and had an accent that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. “Yea, man, hey, gimme some cheese, go peeaackers. I want some beer.” Of course I don’t think that all Packers fans are this way, but it definitely turned me off at a young age.
I don’t like the Steelers either. When I was in high school there was this guy who was probably 24 or 25 that used to come to the Pyramids (party spot in the woods in Ocala) and party with us. I thought he was such a loser because I assumed he couldn’t find friends or chicks his own age. For some reason I found myself at his house with friends and the place looked like a Steelers gift shop. He had Steelers curtains, blankets, a bath rug—you name it, he had it. He was a weird dude and a huge pervert as well. Also, their old coach, Bill Cowher, always looked really scary—another reason I have never been a fan.
This is why chicks like me should stick to stuff they know—my opinions about sports never have anything to do with the game.
Katie showed me this video, it is pretty funny. The girl looks like a Milwaukee chick.
I'm SO happy that I never have to worry about seeing you with a cheesehead on your head!
