Why I Am A Green Bay Packers Fan
Kate Kraemer

There are millions of people around the world who love the Green Bay Packers. Their official Facebook page has 5.4 million likes by their devout fans. Their home, Lambeau Field, is the Mecca of football. Every home game day, thousands of Packer lovers gather on the grounds of this said 'holy land'. The Packers are by far my favorite team, and here is why.

They have one of the richest pasts in the NFL.

They started in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1921, a year after the league was formed, along with a few NFL teams that still remain. They are original and devout to their city.

In general, the players and staff are good people.

Players, both high profile and not high profile, are people who are involved in the community and help good causes or start their own cause. They are nice to people when confronted at the grocery store by a fan and have great character. They also tend to stay out of handcuffs and trouble with the NFL.

The Super Bowl trophy is named after a famous Packer coach.

The Lombardi Trophy is named after the late Packers coach, Vince Lombardi. Lombardi coached the Packers from 1959-1967. He led the team to five NFL Championships and then two Super Bowl Championships after it became the new name for the NFL championship game.

It strengthens the bond between some family and friends.

It is great when you can spend time with your entire family cladded in Packer gear all cheering for the same thing. During holidays, the feeling is even better, even if not everyone is a Packer fan.

They tend to win.

At least in winning years, they almost always make it to the playoffs. Sometimes, when it looks like the Packers are going to lose, one or more of the many talented players does something amazing to win the game.

Again, Lambeau Field.

I cannot even count how many times I have been to Lambeau, but every time I am there I still feel a sense of awe in that I am walking with something legendary

They are respected.

Respect is an important thing to have. It's great knowing that your team is respected and admired by many other football fans and players. It feeds into the Packer Pride every fan feels about the team.

These are just a few of many reasons why I love the Green Bay Packers. Just like millions of others, they will always be my team.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
