I would like to take this moment to inform the net.football audience that I am officially resigning as a Green Bay Packer fan. For God's sake, when will they wake up????? 1) Lynn Dickey was bad enough . . . 2) Jim Zorn is not only signed but has been starting!!! (ARGH!!!) 3) Now they've signed the only player the Bills didn't want - Vince Ferragamo. If the Bills can't use him, he's gotta be hurtin' !!!! 4) . . . Come next spring I am convinced that Bobby Douglass will be back in a Packer uniform. (-: (-: In the meantime, GO BEARS!!!!!!!! Dan Van Handel drutx!dtvh

I agree with your assessment of their quarterback situation but it's hardly enough to make me stop being a fan. After so many years of losing and remaining faithful, there's no way I'll stop now. A loyal fan will stay through thick and thin, we've just had more thin. Don't get me wrong, it is our right to criticize management's decisions. All fans want a winner. > In the meantime, GO BEARS!!!!!!!! Where have all of these Bear fans come from? Do I detect an epidemic of jumping on the bandwagon? A frustrated Packer fan, Terry Bermes

(-: (-: > > > In the meantime, GO BEARS!!!!!!!! > > Dan Van Handel > drutx!dtvh So much for loyalty these days.. <Sigh> I've been a Packer fan for as long as I can remember. I've even managed to go see them play a few times, even though I grew up in southern California, and now I am in New Jersey (overshot Wisconsin just a bit, geography was never my strong point). Granted, the quarterback situation has been dreadful pretty much ever since Bart Starr left, and I think Packer fans have got every right to moan and complain about it; in the intervening years it shouldn't have been too hard to get just ONE guy who was really good. But I'm still sticking with my team-- the Bears are doing good now, and (much as it pains me to admit it) they deserve to do well, they've been on hard times for a while too. But I've always rooted for Green Bay, and I'll continue to do so through thin and thin-one day they'll rise again (but not until they get a good QB... and square away a few other things like convincing themselves that defense isn't a four-letter word) GO PACKERS!!!

I suspect that if the Pack went 11-5 next year, all of a sudden we'd see 6 dozen LOYAL Packer fans on the net. So the Bear fan phenomenon isn't too phenomenal -:).
