Contemporize Man

Went out with some coworkers to watch the Packers' game yesterday. We went to this place I guess most people call "a sports bar." I usually don't go out to crazy sports bars to watch games because they are so crowded and you can't really hear the game at all. This was actually fun to be in a large group and enjoy watching the Packers slaughter the Seahawks.

What was interesting, and what got me angry was the number of people wearing Packers' jerseys. There were probably 75% wearing actual jerseys and I was yelled out for not wearing one. It's not like I am going to forget what team I am supposed to be rooting for and then have to look at my shirt to remember what team I should root for.

The really sad part of the thing was the what jerseys people were wearing. About 50% of the people were wearing Favre jerseys. That's too easy, why not wearing someone else's jersey so you don't look like every other idiot sheep in the group. I was also surprised (angered) by the number of people wearing old jerseys of players who do not play any more. I saw someone wearing a Dorsey Levens jersey (he had 3 good seasons, 10 years ago), a Mark Chmura jersey (pedophile), and a Freeeman (also 3 good seasons 10 years ago). If you are a real fan how about you take some of that money you put into marriage counseling and go out and buy a new jersey.

Sidenote: I also saw someone wearing a Tom Brady jersey. Way to go buddy and take a huge risk and be a fan of the best team out there. Congrats.
