My Official Green Bay Packer Blog

The first two rounds of the armchair quarterback masturbation-fest that is the NFL Draft came and went, and all without me even getting my pants to my ankles.

The degree to which I pay attention to the draft? I didn’t even realize the draft wasn’t starting on the weekend this year.

Here’s the thing. Last time I tracked the draft, the very best of the mock drafters only guessed right a third of the time. For the first round. And of those drafted, only a fraction actually became anything other than a footnote on their team’s roster.

So I have a hard time getting, uh, hard, about the draft. Now, you show me a lanky blonde? I’m like a bum on a meat sammich. Mel Kiper just doesn’t get it for me.

But because I know that because I have this Packer blog, I have to at least show up to this circle jerk. So, the Packers first and second round picks:

First round, 23rd overall: OT Bryan Bulaga

Second round, 56th overall: DE Mike Neal

I may write more about the draft in a few days, but for now, I’m putting away the lotion and zipping up.

Of all the people in Wisconsin, nobody is as surprised as me that I’ve posted this much on this blog over the last two weeks, so far after the Superbowl and so far before the draft.

But here I am, posting again. About a person who appears to be Wisconsin’s adopted son, tight end Spencer Havner. Why is he Wisconsin’s adopted son? He catches lots of touchdowns. Actually, no. That’s cool and all, but the reason he’s one of us? Spencer was arrested in California for DUI yesterday.

And when you compare the penalties in Cali for DUI to the penalties in Wisconsin, I bet Spencer wishes he was in Wisconsin right now.

The bonus? He broke his shoulder. Double bonus? There’s probably a stipulation in his contract that says NO MOTHERFUCKING MOTORCYCLES.

Said one of Havner’s neighbors, when interviewed: “Spencer’s a great guy. He’s one of those, uh, what do you call guys that are really smart but really stupid at the same time? Suhvanty? Right. Idiot Suhvanty. Spencer’s one of those. Love that guy.”

Nice goin’, Spencer.

I know there are sports towns out there. Both small and big cities with fans who get the logos of their fave teams emblazoned on their persons.

Whenever I meet folks in other NFL franchise cities, I try to explain that while they may THINK they have crazyrabid fans, they don’t have the kind of fans this little podunk Wisconsin market has.

Exhibit A: 79 year old Jim Becker. Why is he so special? In order to be able to afford Packer tickets, Jim sold 145 pints of his. own. blood.

You say your fans bleed for their team?

Ours actually do. 145 pints worth.
