As a Packers fan, I’d just like to say that I can’t really argue with anything in this article. Have a nice day.

I think I found the root of your problem

I think you could say that Rodgers is the greatest quarterback statistically of all time, while Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time because of trophies. In the ‘80s, we called this the Montana-Marino dichotomy.

I want it to get to the point where Lions fans feel sorry for them

went to college there, left, will never go back. To sum up my experience in the best Wisconsin way, I had a higher up co-worker say to me “you’ve got a bright future, but if you want to move up you need a new girlfriend.” She was Asian. That didn’t go over in WI. I left and married her. 

Their fanbase is a Ted Nugent song come to life.

Mark my words, it’s going to get real bad.

My younger sister moved up to Milwaukee a few years ago for work and began dating a die-hard Packers fan shortly after. They are set to be married next month. I’ve ignored the fact that he bought her a Rodgers jersey and that she’s worn it, love will make you do stupid things, and I’ve retaliated by giving her Bears…

Great comment! This is why I don’t pay for Deadspin!

The site is ad-free. So it’s could be (a) per their website, if you don’t commit to a year subscription, you pay $9.99/month (most likely), so some non-committal readers who forget to cancel/change plan are getting bilked (most likely); (b) they are selling two-year paid-in-advance plans, and booking all the revenue…

The Athletic comment section is entirely made up of people going “Great article! This is why I pay for the Athletic!”

Yeah, I think they do great work, I just worry that there’s going to be huge layoffs once the VC fountain is shut off.

I was not aware of this. Guess I have to sign up now, I always love bringing old material to a new audience.

I’ve lived in every major city in Ohio (go ahead, make your joke).

coming from Michigan, the home of Dr. Kevorkian, I’m pretty sure his “Death Machine” was just having dying patients watch Lions game. 

Holy shit. This may be the darkest, most depressing entry in the history of this series:

The last time this team won a playoff game, the first person to interview the head coach & QB was a black-glove-wearing OJ Simpson.

Darn those urban areas where 80 percent of your states population resides! 

Also live in Denver (ok, fine, Aurora) and it’s hilarious listening to the right-wingers on AM radio freak out every day about any policy even slightly to the left of fucking Reagan

NOT a Broncos fan, but I am a Denver resident, and give us a LITTLE slack about our Governor. Hickenlooper has moved on from the state house to tut-tut at the Dems who literally don’t want people to die from insulin rationing, and was replaced by Jared Polis, a Gay man who’s running a pretty left administration right…
