Pretty disappointed in this one. Mostly fat jokes and needless Capers bashings then lols.
That said, these emails are some great points:
Sweet **** are Packers "fans" obnoxious. They have a top 3 team, yet have a brain aneurysm every time the opposing team scores in any fashion. That game @ KC two years ago (the "1" in the 15-1), they wanted every member of that team decapitated. It's pathetic. I wish I could count how many times McCarthy "should've been fired" over the past few seasons.
This same fanbase claims to be amongst the most "loyal" in the league. When Brett Favre left, half of Packer fans became ****ing Jets fans. They have only come back into the fold after Aaron Rodgers won a Super Bowl in 2010. Those same people will tell you that they "stuck with the team because they knew that Rodgers kid was something special HURR DURR." Give me a ****ing break.
And then there's the fact that the fans here are so ****ing entitled. The Packers lose in the playoffs to a team that outplayed them and the fans immediately want to run Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy out of town on a rail. No decision the franchise makes is ever right, it's always doom and gloom, until 20/20 hindsight kicks in. Only winning the Super Bowl every single season would satisfy the fans, and anything less should result in SOMEONE being fired. It's like everyone has gotten so caught up in 20 years of pretty much uninterrupted success that they've forgotten the 25 years of being completely ****-awful before that. And the lack of perspective just completely ignores the fact that there are teams out there who would kill to have our GM or Head Coach, not to mention our quarterback.
Although I did enjoy these morons:
As good as they are, Rodgers and Clay Matthews cannot consistently carry the sorry bunch of undrafted free agents and low round draft picks that Ted “Albino Pigeon” Thompson continues to assemble each year. Even if they could keep it to within a few points of the NFC's top teams, I would rather have Ray Finkle kicking in a close game than Mason Crosby.
The Packers have the best quarterback of this generation, a guy that can put up 40 points playing blindfolded for the Taliban against a fully armed Seal Team 6. So why do we still embarrass ourselves in the playoffs year after year? Because the team sees fit to keep the architect of the worst defense in the history of the NFL, that gave up 577 bajillion yards to a sophomore ****ing quarterback who broke the playoff record for yards before anyone bothered to touch him. The only thing worse than Dom Capers is how the media praises him like he's Vince Lombardi 2.0. **** Dom Capers.
We could be entering the season with Marshawn Lynch. Instead we have arguably the worst RB group in the league. **** Ted Thompson.
