. . . but not many posters.

Guess there are a lot of lurkers looking for strife and madness after the Packers Super Bowl win. Oh well. Either get used to disappointment, or go down to Silly Town to wallow in uselessness and angst.

This is exactly why MN fans pull for the other team....

I did want the Pack to win and they did. But, you are going to change that goofy Avatar tomorrow right!

Yup.

Really? You are the spokesman for a state? Wow, Mr. Governor.

It was a weak show other than the football. Commercials were worse than average, and the halftime "entertainment" was banal.

After all the [PoorWordUsage] that has been spewed all week, I don't have a problem with it.

Been hittin the paint thinner tonight huh?

I was just agreeing with BuzBunni Del

Paint thinner? They sell paint thinner? Bet it's cheaper and more effective than what fans spend emotionally on their teams.

Im sitting here wondering what all these packer lovers are doing when last night, they should have been celebrating... instead they come on here to a meaningless football forum on a FISHING site, to be the first to rub it - err.. congratulate their team?

WTH?

[pike doctor]

I spent the entire playoff cheering for the Packers and was happy with their success, and I noticed many other Queen fans doing the same. It is [PoorWordUsage] like this that will make me hate the Packers and their fans again. Congrats on the win, but for goodness sake go find some class.

Classic case of what comes around goes around. Last season the vikes had their obnoxious posters out in full force. This year its the same thing for packer posters other than they have a lot more to crow about for now. Might switch back next year or it might be bears posters to have their turn.

It's one more way to celebrate.

Sometimes I go a little overboard in the sports forums, so sorry for that if anyone is offended.

I celebrated too much in the usual fashion last night anyway. My head hurts.

Packers fans need to follow proper etiquette while in our state, keeping gloating to a minimum and only during appropriate times.

However ... here is our advice to Packers fans living in our fair state: You will want to adhere to the guidelines set forth below -- the Articles of Celebration -- in order to bask in the post-Super Bowl afterglow safely, in moderation, and without getting punched by a pack of surly Vikings fans. (Note: Much of this, of course, assumes there is an NFL season):

• From now until the start of baseball's spring training, celebrate this title around Vikings fans openly but with a dose of humility. Feel free to point out the obvious virtues of your team. Acceptable subjects include how good Rodgers' numbers would be if his receivers weren't always dropping passes, the playmaking ability of the defense and, yes, how the Packers will be even scarier next year once healthy.

• From the start of MLB spring training until the start of NFL training camp, within the borders of Minnesota, you are only allowed to talk about the Super Bowl championship with a Vikings fan if that fan brings it up first. The exception is during the NFL draft (and the two days before and after). During this time, it is once again acceptable to initiate a discussion about Super Bowl MVP Rodgers and the difference between where the Vikings and Packers stand at quarterback.

• From the start of training camp until the start of the regular season, as the national media is slobbering all over the Packers and in many cases predicting a return trip to the Super Bowl, you are allowed, within these borders, a maximum of one declaration per week about a repeat -- which can be traded in for up to three smug smiles.

• During the regular season -- particularly during the two Vikings/Packers weeks -- you will do well to focus your energy on the present. It is understood that during the playoffs, all bets are off.

• Phrases to avoid at all times: "How did that Brett Favre thing work out for you?" ... "You should just give up and come root for the Packers." ... and, most importantly, "I forget. How many Super Bowls have the Vikings won?"

We can all get through this.
