Just for laughs: "You know you're a Packer fan when..." (not really about sports, fyi)

[xmas74]

your baby's birth announcement says this:

"Being huge Packers fans, his name was decided when parents learned he was born with a broken left clavicle. (Aaron Rodger Dryer)"

Poor baby, dealing with a break but at least there's a great story for when he's older.

1. Never name your kid after, or associate your business with, a living celebrity.

Just ask the folks at OJ Simpson Women and Children's Hospital.

2. It's Wisconsin-what are ya gonna do?

I have a cousin named Vince and another named Brett. It's pretty common.

Read through the comments on the link-lots of boys named after players. I loved the woman who made a comment about how she was worried about her son's future injuries, since his name was Finley Aaron.

29. I have a niece named "Molly".

3. ...or the Sarah Palin Center for Advanced Intelligence (R)

[hfojvt]

26. people used to name their kids after living Presidents

a bunch of my relations are named "Martin Van Buren X"

But I also think some people sorta thought the name sounded like royalty.

[Wait Wut]

4. He'll grow up a Bears fan.

[xmas74]

5. Take that back!

That shouldn't be allowed.

[Wait Wut]

14. Can't take it back.

Just like we can't take back breaking Rodgers. What's done is done.

[xmas74]

20. Both teams have had a rough patch with injuries.

Unfortunately, that leaves the Lions as possibly winning the North, unless one of us heals.

I'm not worried about the Vikings. Either one of our teams could sit the rest of the season out and the Vikes would still be in last.

[HappyMe]

8. Absolutely.

A face painting, tail gating, season ticket holding, stats expert Bears fan!

He'll change his name to Sweetness McMahon when he turns 18.

[eqfan592]

9. lol, not very likely.

First of all, "stats expert Bears fan?" Doesn't exist. Second, why would one be attracted to inherent lameness and failure when they are already surrounded by the majesty that is the Green Bay Packers tradition?

[HappyMe]

11. Good grief!

Lemme get my hip-waders because the bullshit is getting very deep.

[irisblue]

15. remember the sheer joy of pissing off your parents?

there is a definite joy in this....I was an expert in this

[Wait Wut]

17. What was that?

Wait...when did the Packers win last? Hmmmmm...lameness, indeed. Don't worry. They're still better than the Vikings.

[HappyMe]

19. Wasn't it one of the BEARS

that took the holy Rodgers out, and won the damn game besides?

[eqfan592]

23. Yeah, they knew the only way they had a chance is to try and injure Rodgers.

But that's OK, I'm used to Bear fans taking delight in dirty play. It's all they're really good at.

[HappyMe]

24. LOL!

Please.


Take one guy out, and you have NOTHING LEFT. NOTHING.


It wasn't playing dirty. But, I wouldn't expect anything less than whining "dirty" from a Packers fan. Sacking Rodgers isn't playing dirty, it's football. He's brittle, apparently.

[eqfan592]

27. Lol, I wouldn't say we have nothing left.

We still managed to hang with you guys, and we had way more than one guy out. Also, it wasn't a sack, as he was beyond the line of scrimmage, tho I'm not shocked a Bears fan couldn't figure out that distinction.

In all seriousness, we have serious issues with our defense, injuries or no, and it'll be interesting to see if Capers is still with the team come next season.

[eqfan592]

22. When did the Bears last win a super bowl?

Oh yeah, almost 30 years ago. Well done there!

And if you lose literally the best player at his position in the sport, it's gonna have a pretty dramatic impact on your team one way or another. That's not even mentioning the dozen or so other starters we seem to lose each week, making me wonder if our PT staff isn't exactly doing a good job!!!

30. Thirteen, count 'em, thirteen NFL Championships

Record 13 NFL world championships

League annals show 13 World Championships,[6] the most in the NFL (the next closest team is the Chicago Bears, with nine). The first three were decided by league standing, the next six by the NFL Title Game, and the final four by Super Bowl victories. The Packers are also the only team to win three consecutive NFL titles, having accomplished this twice (1929-30-31 under Lambeau and 1965-66-67 under Vince Lombardi).

16. Ah...

...Sweetness McMahon will be one of the greatest BEARS players of all time!

[HappyMe]

18. Yes, indeed.

Best player ever, best looking, kindest, funniest.....the list goes on.

6. My brother named his kid Logan

When he did that, I looked at him and said, "I know why you did that."
"No, you don't."
"Yes, I do... you X-Men geek."

We both collected comics as teens, and he was a big X-Men fan (Logan being Wolverine's real name... kind of).

Then he and his wife had a daughter that they named Madeline, and I asked him, "Like the little French girl? You have two kids named after cartoon characters?"

[xmas74]

7. As soon as you said Logan

I wondered if it was after Wolverine. I'm a bit of a geek that way.

And Madeline, lol. It could have been Jean instead.

[littlewolf]

10. only if her middle name was Grey. :D

[xmas74]

12. My thoughts exactly. nt

[MindPilot]

13. My first thought was Logan's Run.

Now, I'm dating myself.

[xmas74]

21. Logan's Run is good

but comic book nerds tend to be stronger in their fangasms.

[a kennedy]

28. I think now of Lara Logan.....

and think....

[HereSince1628]

25. THAT is the stuff of family legend...my older brother was named after a song

popular at the time "Open the door, Richard"

Me? Named after a great uncle...a true mountain of a man in his youth, but someone I met when he was ~85 years old and not nearly so imposing.
