The Green Bay Packers are world Champions. The party continues.
Aaron Rodgers (affectionately referred to as A-Rod) won the MVP of the Super Bowl. He gets a shiny new 456 HP bright red Camero convertible. I wonder how his teammates feel about Rodgers getting all the attention and they get on a plane back to Green Bay. A-Rod hops a private jet to Orlando and they hold a special parade for him at DisneyWorld. I’m sure the team understands. He then flys by private jet to New York to be on the Letterman Show. It ends with a private jet returning him to Green Bay the same evening. The team probably had cold pizza at Shakey’s. Do the teammates feel left out? Just wondering.
There is a “love-fest” in Green Bay this afternoon to welcome the Packers back to Lambeau. Tickets cost $5 per ticket with a limit of 20 tickets per person. Tickets are being scalped for as much as $150 per ticket. Who would pay the outrageous premium for a one hour lovefest in windchills reaching minus 10 degrees. I guess it is just zealous fans caught up in the exuberance. Just wondering.
A homeless couple living in shelters won a contest for a trip to the Super Bowl. They got four tickets (worth $800 each), four days at a first class hotel in Dallas, plane tickets and some spending money. They were offered $3,000 per ticket as well as reimbursement for all the other “goodies”. Now remember, before winning the contest they were broke and after the Super Bowl game, they will return to “broke”. They chose not to take the premium buyout money being offered and went to the Green Bay Packer/Pittsburgh Steeler game. Why would they turn down the money and return to “broke”? Just wondering.
The Dallas Cowboys hosted the Super Bowl. They added over 1200 temporary seats. The seats sold for $800 each. The City Inspectors ruled the temporary seats to be unsafe. Over 800 people were turned away from the gate (even though they had legitimate tickets). The NFL has agreed to pay each person, $2400 per ticket for inconvenience. They also get tickets to next years NFL Super Bowl game in Indianapolis including hotel accomodations. Would that make you happy? Just wondering.
Would you pay $20 for a Packer T-Shirt? Just wondering.
Would you pay$38 for a Packer hat? Just wondering.
What will Packer fans use as an excuse to get drunk and stupid next year? Just wondering.
Will the Packers win another Super Bowl in your lifetime? Again wondering.
I guess when you win the NFL Championship, the experience is priceless.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
