Packer Game-Day

It's Sunday!! The Packers play at noon today in Kansas City. I was SOOOOOOOOO hoping we'd be able to go to KC for this game, but here we are, still in Wisconsin. We can't even WATCH the game in River Falls because we're considered part of the Twin Cities viewing audience which means we are punished and have to watch the Vikings. Well, we'll watch something else. Anyway...the Packers are actually underdogs today. Go figure. The Packers are 6-1 and the Chiefs are like 4-3. Yet the Pack are underdogs. Hhhmmm. Interesting. That's OK though. Takes a little pressure off. They are on the road and they did have a short work week since they played (on the road) on Monday night, so maybe that's why they're not favored to win. What the media is forgetting is that the Packers actually have a better record on the road than at home. Another interesting bit of trivia. OK...so I'll be listening to the game on the radio while I get ready for a friend's baby shower today. That's fine.

But here's a little joke for you that my mother in law sent our way. I love it!! Enjoy!


John Madden was in New England to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special telephone near the Patriots' bench. He asked QB Tom Brady what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God. John asked if he could use it. Brady replied, 'Sure, but it will cost you $200.' John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I could use some help picking games. He pulled out his wallet and paid $200. John's picks were perfect that week.
The next week, John was in Indianapolis when he noticed that same kind of phone on the Colts bench. He asked what the telephone was for and Manning told him, 'It's a hotline to God if you want to use it, it will cost you $500.' Recalling the previous week, John pulled out his wallet and made the call.
John's picks were perfect again that week.
Last weekend, John was in Green Bay , when he noticed the same kind of telephone by the Packers' bench. He asked Brett Favre, 'Is that the hotline to God?' Favre said, 'Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents.' John looked incredulously at Favre and said, 'Wait a second, I just paid $200 in New England and $500 in Indianapolis to use the same phone to God! Why do the Packers only charge 50 cents?' Favre replied, 'Because in Green Bay , it's a local call...Welcome to God's Country.'
