Help! Help! My professional reputation lies squarely in your hands!

Guys, I'm in trouble! Apparently our office does not do the sane and true office-thing of having a hockey pool, but does a FOOTBALL POOL. Like, American football, not soccer-football.

*stricken-face*

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to name five football teams, regardless of their relative merits, I would have to say... the Packers?

I'm a fan of the Packers & any team that beats the hell out of the Vikings.

I've got Packers circled, and Vikings are playing... *checks*... New Orleans first, who I've also got circled! That worked out well! *g* The rest of these I may have to do randomly.

This has nothing to do with the way the Pack plays, of course. I worked once-upon-a-time as a bartender, and nobody tips like drunken Packers fans. Even when they're losing.

Awww!! Man, that's a good reason in my books!

To bring this back to familiar territory? Do you know who is also a big Green Day Packers fan? Andrew Hurley. Last year the QB, saint & hero of all Packers fans, Brett Favre left Green Bay for the Minnesota Vikings. (The enemies of all good & true GB fans, due to their geographical closeness and . . . I can't think of any other reason, really. But that is ENOUGH.)

My favorite would-be post-apocalyptic warlord pitched the biggest "girl broken up with before prom" snit over this. It was precious. I wanted to wrap him up in a Hello Kitty snuggie and tell him it would be OK.

(Because I was doing the same thing, too.)

Awww! Y'know, I'm about as far out of the loop as a person can be and even I recall hearing about that. Despite not knowing if they were talking football or basketball, but never mind that detail!

Sulky Andy is my favorite ever. <3 <3 <3

There's nothing more fun than beating the Packers, with an ex-Packer at QB! Heh.

[jencendiary]

That's because you're a godless heathen going to a cheeseless hell.

[roh_wyn]

Cheeseful Hell would be very messy and runny anyway, I imagine. ;)

Thus the basis of its appeal.
