James Jones My Feelings for You

James Jones, there was a point in time, where I didn't think you would resign with the Green Bay Packers. I watched ESPN every day and they kept saying that you wanted to be a number 1 or 2 receiver somewhere and I didn't know if that was possible in Green Bay. All I know is that I really, really wanted you back. When I found out you signed with us again. My reaction was like this (replaced nintendo 64 with James Jones)

Here are some pics of James Jones from the Super Bowl.



Straight thuggin' on his way to a catch.



Get off of him William Gay, you're about to lose the Super Bowl you silly goose!



Get a little more excited when we win the next Super Bowl, James.

Packer Players Blog Will be Heating Up

My Packer Players blog will be heating up with juicy Green Bay Packers Player information very soon. Be sure to vote on who's hot and who's not! And remember if you want to be included on my Packer blogroll, COMMENT ME!

Let's see some enthusiasm, Pat Lee

That's better.

Pat Lee may be young, may not have seen much play time his rookie year, may be somewhat in the middle of the pack at this point in his career, but something about his dynamic energy has really caught my attention.

Look at that face!

As a true Green Bay Packers fan, I know that we need players who capture our hearts and spirits. After all, what's a team without the individuals? And what's Lambeau Field without exciting players? Nothing, that's what. Some NFL stars seem to forget that they're paid so much to be great for the fans. Without fans, football wouldn't exist on the scale it does today. Green Bay Packers tickets would be free. The energy would be sucked out of Lambeau Field. But players on the Packers roster like Pat Lee really bring vitality to the hearts of cheeseheads across Wisconsin so it's great to see them loving what they do when they hit the field each game. Go Packers!

Atari Bigby's atari

Atari: A 38 year old company that pioneered in home video games including the popular Pong and Atari 2600.

Atari Bigsby: 27 year old Jamaican born NFL safety for the Green Bay Packers

Atari Bigby's moniker is a catchy one. It seems like sports athletes really have unique names down to an art form. Coco Crisp?! Come on! Milton Bradley? Is this the Monopoly company or the MLB player? Atari Bigby is just another in the long line of unusual names. It's pretty much the equivalent of Nintendo Jackson.

However, Atari Bigby's grandmother INSISTS he was not named after the legendary video game maker. Rather, she claims, his name hails from the Japanese term for warrior. Either way, it's an apt title. Atari Bigby is both a warrior and a football playing mastermind out there on Lambeau Field.

A friend of mine is a huge atari and Atari Bigby fan. I think his dream day would be to play atari with Atari Bigby...after watching the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears or Minnesota Vikings. He can dream, right? Sam, this one goes out to you. Enjoy:

Hauling logs with Donald Lee

Did you know Donald Lee spent his summers from the ages of 7 to 18 hauling logs with his uncle down in Pheba, Mississippi? Well, he did. Apparently that helped Donald Lee develop the strength and endurance he employs on Lambeau Field as a Green Bay Packers tight end.

I don't know about you, but hauling logs in a stifling Mississippi summer sounds about as close to torture as I can imagine, but Donald Lee found it to be a way to develop his character. I wonder if he'll make his kids--Donsha, 8, and Don Jr., 7--go through the same thing. Something tells me that he won't. I heard he has a pretty sweet house down in Pheba, Mississippi. And if he really wants to haul logs in his spare time, he can hook them up to his pride and joy: a 1979 Chevy truck pimped out with monster tires. Wait, I need a visual.

How do you like this log hauler?

And we need a quick Donald Lee pic to go along with that monster of a truck:

I'm sensing an ACT-style analogy here--

1979 Chevy:Monster on the road::Donald Lee:Monster on the field

If only the ACT was so NFL-laden!

Green Bay Packers Blog Packer Backer Hot For the Pack Spotlight

Woot! Woot! I see I got a little SHOUT OUT from a Green Bay Packers Ticket site. I bet they would categorize my blog in the "fluffy" category.

I see they have Packers tickets for sale for every game, even the opener which is going to be the best game opener in the NFL (and I am not just saying that because I am biased) - you just wait. Rodgers vs. Cutler - it's going to ROCK .... I might just be saying Favre? Favre who?

Celebrity Sighting: JaRon Harris

So a friend of mine lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Picture lots of flat land, some dust, a cricket chirping in the background and you've got the place nailed.

Just kidding.

Sioux Falls has a pretty good shopping and dining scene, and one more thing it has is Green Bay Packers wide receiver JaRon Harris! Turns out JaRon Harris was born and raised in Sioux Falls and he still lives there today with his lovely wife, Desiree:

My friend sighted them in a grocery story in Sioux Falls a few months back and excitedly called me to report this event. She knows how big of a Green Bay Packers fan I am! For her, JaRon Harris is a member of the Sioux Falls community. For me, JaRon Harris is ONLY part of the Lambeau Field community which I also belong to! I get my Green Bay Packers tickets as early as possible and count down the days until the official season begins.

But, in the offseason, I can always rely on my supersleuth friend to clue me in on what JaRon Harris is up to when he's not in Green Bay. If only I had friends in every city to scout the Green Bay Packers roster guy by guy...then I'd be on top of things!

Jermichael Finley and Harry Potter

You take a look at a guy like this:

And then you take a look at a guy like this:


...and you think, how much can these two have in common? One is athletic, good looking, and can grow facial hair. The other is bookish, mousy, and just might put a spell on you. I can't even look at his piercing eyes too long for fear I'll become some kind of weird mystical creature (help me out here with some technical Harry Potter lingo, folks).

But, Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers tight end, LOVES Harry Potter. You can barely find him without a Harry Potter book in hand, reading about the wizardry and potions and spells (again, am I on track with the basic premise of these books?).

What about Harry Potter may appeal to Jermichael Finley? I'm really no help on this because if you can't already tell, I'm not a fan. I don't need Harry Potter's magic when I have my own in the form of Lambeau Field and a good Green Bay Packers game.

But, hey, to each their own.
