At The Playersโ„ข in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach Florida yesterday, my initial excitement realizing, "Oh look, a Packer fan." was replaced by the horror of "Oh look, a Packer fan."

I was at the tournament four hours, attendance was approximately 100,000 and  I saw one, count it, one NFL jersey. 

People. You've heard my previous rants about believing nobody over the age of 12 should wear a replica jersey (Look! I'm on the team!) but I've relented and realized its just a sign of fandom.

But at a high-class golf tournament? 

Obama's America has arrived.

Carry on.

PS.  On a positive note, Gilbert has lost some weight.

Is this a good place to bring up that there is no "right" time to wear a cheesehead at a sporting event (or any event where someone is sitting behind you)?  

Agree.....but when I saw a cheesehead walking on the street about a block away from where Walter Payton's memorial ceremony for the bear fans was, I thought good for him, showing respect for Sweetness from a Packer fan.  Now that was appropriate and an awesome sight.
