Green Bay Packer nation has a lilt in its step today. Vince Lombardi (may he rest in peace) is smiling his rather toothie smile today.
Yesterday was a Packer game for the ages--and it feels like the Super Bowl to the fans.
Come February, Packers fans will not be cheering their team on in the real Super Bowl. The nation will be riveted to --YAWN--probably the Seahawks and the Broncos. But the Dallas/Packer game of Sunday was a return from the dead for the Packers, made all that much more sweet because it was the biggest come from behind win in Packer history and the biggest second half fade in Cowboy history.
(The above pictures do tie this into "vintage."--an autographed Lombardi picture and a framed copy of the Packer team song.)
Yuppers--lilt in the steps of Packer Backers today. And this coming weekend--I will be cracking out our Packer cocktail napkins for a Christmas dinner we are hosting for friends-- Everyone of them a Bears fan. I won't be using them at a super bowl party--but this week--they will garnish my green and gold hors d'oeuvres.
