About Don »

Hi,
My name is Don Zak and I am number 58293 (Up from 58987 in 2008 and 59864 in 2007) on Green Bay Packers Season Ticket List for general stadium bowl seats for 2009.
Also am number 1326 on the Club Seats waiting list.

I also have Washington Redskins season tickets since 2006 (Section 308, Row 5 Seats 3&4) as my adopted home team.
Most anticipated 2009 games this year -
Parents won 4 tickets to the Bears game on SNF Sept 13th in the Brown County lottery.
Possible away trip to Pittsburgh in Dec.

Bio:
I grew up in Green Bay during the 1990s like attending high school and went to college in wisconsin so my opinion is clearly biased in favor of the beloved Green and Gold. It seems that the voice of reason and rationality has left the Green Bay community, sacrificed upon the alter of a false idol promising a SB without drafting any real talent or acquiring the best people available to put the team in a position to win the big games. Besides, it's not only about the team winning, but the fans and the community suffers as well when things don't go well.
Would consider myself a fan first and foremost, and an addicted b/r write second.

I have a BA from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and have an M.B.A. in Finance from the George Washington University in DC.

Recent Packers Games Attended:

2009 - Sept 13th Green Bay vs. Chicago - Sec 351 Row 7 Seat 10
2008 - Dec. 31st Detroit vs. Green Bay - Sec 101 Row 41 Seat 01
2008 - Nov. 30th Carolina vs. Green Bay - Sec 103 Row 59 Seat 5
2008 - Sept. 28th Green Bay at Tampa Bay - Sec 307 Row Z Seat 15
2007 - Oct. 14th Redskins vs. Green Bay - Sec 101 Row 41 Seat 01
2006 - Oct 22nd Green Bay vs. Miami - Sec 101 Row 11 Seat 16
1999 - Sept 12th Oakland vs Green Bay - Sec - 15 Row 1 Seat 09

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

What did you think of the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.

I actually wrote an article complimenting the Eagles. I need to go see if I've gone insane or not.
