Green Bay Needs To Shake Itself

So the local affiliates in Green Bay... have announced that they are going to do everything they can to telecast New York Jets games this year. Because, well, there just isn't any better team in the AFC to see!

Who needs to see Super Bowl champions like the Patriots, Colts or Steelers? Who would want any part of last year's intriguing playoff teams like the Chargers or Jaguars? Why see any games from AFC teams that are relatively close to Wisconsin? Dammit, there's a 4-12 team with a Man Genius on the loose here!

Seriously, Wisconsin? It's time to get a grip. San Francisco didn't move heaven and earth to telecast Chiefs games when Joe Montana moved on. Minnesota didn't need to see Daunte Culpepper's Dolphin games. Philadelphia didn't get any more Steelers games when the Duce got loose in Pittsburgh. And so on, and so on.

Packer Fan, you've got a defending Final Four team with the best talent in the division. Your ex jerked you around, gagged in the playoffs, and is genuinely, startlingly old. Move The Hell On.

If only for the fact that Jets Fan thinks you're pathetic right now. And, well, that's not a good moment for anyone, really.
