My Official Green Bay Packer Blog

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.

I know, I’m late on breaking this story. I’ve been on a cheese curd vision quest, and this news barely ranks above remembering to put out the recycling on the second Friday of the month (Which? Totally forgot today - thanks, sweetness, for having my back).

Aaron Kampman signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars a few days ago.

As you might expect from the things I wrote about him, I’m all broken up about it. And why shouldn’t I be? Packer defense improved with his absence. Why wouldn’t the Packers want to keep lots of expensive, dead wood around?

Oh yeah. They probably don’t.

In other riveting news, a beaver clogged up my drainage. And believe me, that’s WAY less cool than it sounds.
