Lambeau Faithful Face Difficult Decision: Patriots or Giants?

Patriots or Giants?

While the media seems to overwhelmingly favor New England in Super Bowl XLII, who do you take, or root for, if you’re a Green and Gold fan?

That’s the dilemma Green Bay Packers' faithful are undergoing this week, along with searing headaches and “get out of work free” phone calls for having weathered the below-freezing temperatures and witnessing the debilitating modern-day Apocalypse, as “God” himself willed his way to defeat.

Do you cheer for the team that defeated “your team,” despite knowing that that “no-good, lousy what’s his face” Manning is half the man Brett Favre will ever be? Do you stick to your guns and root for the NFC Conference?

Hell no!

My thoughts exactly.

But, you can’t do the abominable, abhorrent thing and root for the “perceived classy, but truly dirty blood-sucking leech” that is New England, either. There’s no way you would be able to stomach the post-game soiree where Fox’s Terry Bradshaw dubs Tom Brady "Zeus" for his ability to pick apart any defense with lightning bolt passes, should the Pats close out the year perfect. That’d be an insult to your own man upstairs. 

Every other football fan across the country has it easy. You, on the other hand, can’t say the same.

It’s a valid conundrum.

Figuring this one out may take longer than it took for your feet and hands to thaw out.

In the end, you make your decision just before the opening kickoff: time to hit up the bars again (after all, it's Wisconsin and that's what cheese heads do) so that you may stare yourself in the face from the bottom of a pint of Miller Lite. Then, do it all over again, and again, until you lose count.

Maybe it’s the alcohol talking. Maybe it’s you.  Whatever, you’re pretty sure this was for the best.

There will be no more sorrow, no more media coverage about how great those jerk Patriots and Giants quarterbacks are, just wonderful, blackout sleep.
