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.

I Tried to Not Love You, Al Harris

During the football season my email inbox gets clogged with crap. Useless garbage, like a beer company telling me their spokesmodel will be in town, so maybe I blog about it? Oh, I blogged about it. Or when Jay Leno was launching his new show and there was a street team at Lambeau that night to promote the live teleconference thing at halftime. Right. Not so much.

So when I got email about Al Harris and his rehab, and how there’s video of it, I thought “Meh. Nobody wants to watch me popping my morning pills, popping the vertebrae in my back, then jogging on the treadmill.

But in a moment of weakness, I clicked and watched. The whole thing.
