LOYALISTS BACK THE PACK

I played golf once with a Viking fan who quit his job at a bank because he refused to dress in green and yellow on Friday in honor of the Packers. But you know what? I bet his boss was glad to get rid of a malcontent like that.

Unless you've been around them, you have no idea what a Packer fan is like. Much like St. Louis Cardinal fans, their supporters hail from several surrounding states. Their houses boast a display somewhere of their loyalties.

My sister-in-law, a Wisconsin denizen for decades now, is a nurse and maker of dolls. For Christmas this year, she's making dolls for the nieces. And for the nephews--you guessed it Green Bay Packer Build- a- Bear(s). I guess it will be ok for a couple of Packer bears in a Rams house, but I'm not totally sold on it for my grandsons.

But I've been around Green Bay fans. I appreciate their loyalty and devotion. Their enthusiasm and their support. Their tradition and their pride.

But I don't have to like them. Go Rams!!
