So much for loyalty these days.. <Sigh>

I've been a Packer fan for as long as I can remember.  I've even
managed to go see them play a few times, even though I grew up in
southern California, and now I am in New Jersey (overshot Wisconsin
just a bit, geography was never my strong point).  Granted, the
quarterback situation has been dreadful pretty much ever since Bart
Starr left, and I think Packer fans have got every right to moan and
complain about it; in the intervening years it shouldn't have been
too hard to get just ONE guy who was really good.  But I'm still sticking
with my team-- the Bears are doing good now, and (much as it pains
me to admit it) they deserve to do well, they've been on hard times
for a while too.  But I've always rooted for Green Bay, and I'll
continue to do so through thin and thin-one day they'll rise again
(but not until they get a good QB... and square away a few other
things like convincing themselves that defense isn't a four-letter word)

GO PACKERS!!!
