At Least We're Not... The Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are one of the most storied franchises in National Football League history. The previous statement is both overused and completely false. On more than one occasion, I have sighted a "cheesehead" (they do smell like a different kind of cheese, mind you) claiming that the Packers have more championships than any other team in the NFL.
I mean, I suppose we can make the same argument for the 49ers. Who wants to get together and make some fake championships to peg to our team? Oh wait--we don't have to. We already are up there with five legitimate Super Bowl wins. Any time you see a Packer fan holding on to that irrelevant nonsense, just let them be. They don't know any better. Pat them on the back and tell them how right they are, and how great their macaroni picture of themselves as a cowboy is. They'll be very happy.
The city of Green Bay is another kicker. Could you have a more irrelevant city to host a professional football team? Well that's being too nice. The usage of the word "professional". Yeah, I used that joke last time, sue me. What do they have in Green Bay? Looks like they have plants that make paper and a railroad museum. Cool.... yeeeeah.
They call it 'Titletown' which is hilarious. What if I started my own football league right now and my team won the league of four teams five years in a row... and then sixty years down the road when the league is huge with millions of fans and hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into professional athletes, I still cite those championships as having a successful franchise? Thus is the Green Bay Packers.
Even if you were to take said title wins and make them seem like they were a good achievement... some of them were still controversial. I mean come on. 1965. You know what I'm talking about.
So now that we've established that the Green Bay Packers probably don't have any legitimate championships, what of their current team? Well, when your starting cornerback tandem's age is a collective 176, you have a problem. Those guys could seriously shatter at any moment. At this point, Nate Clements' shoulder and Michael Lewis' skull would be vast improvements over the body parts that these two currently field.
What of Aaron Rodgers? I didn't want to say this but... look at the guy. He just screams "buy a van and paint free candy on the side", don't he? He should get together with Ben Roethlisberger sometime, all I'm gonna say on that.
I mean, if you think about it, the only thing that makes the Packers good is Brett Fa... oh... well. Nevermind that notion. So let's wrap this up, shall we?
In Summation: At least we have legitimate championships to our name. At least we're represented by a city rich in culture and not chiefly known for having paper factories and fake titles. At least our cornerbacks, while unstable at the moment, are not both cracking the age of 50. At least our quarterback doesn't look like he has questionable motives when it concerns vulnerable girls. At least we won't always be known as the team Brett Favre left, then proceeded to beat down. At least we actually have cheerleaders. At least we can get some season tickets without having to forge a fake will. At least we are named after some of the grittiest, most hardcore humans of the past while the Packers... well they either take their name from an offensive slur that I won't say, or perhaps an actual packing company. At least we're not the Green Bay Packers.
Disclaimer: This piece is entirely satirical and I think the Packers are eh pretty cool guy, plays football, wins gamez and doesn't afraid of anything.

Sad "city" for a football team
I recently had an old high school friend come visit me in Des Moines, IA and she kept making comments that there is a lot more things to do here than stupid Green Bay. That’s right…DES MOINES, IA has more to do than Green Bay.

There's the disclaimer! About time!
No more angry fans! No more flame wars sprouting out of nowhere. Heck, the Green Bay blog might not even put of a revenge post like another certain team.

I don't know about that
The Green Bay fans around here are very obnoxious and they get really pissy when someone attacks their team. Disclaimer or not, there is bound to be at least one fan that will take offense to it.

I've been to greenbay twice
The first time I asked for something to do, this guy recomended that I go to a movie at the mall. I asked for directions and the guy said that the mall was the biggest building and you would see the stadium in the background, can’t miss it. They have nothing there!
I always feel bad for the players.
Can you imagine having to live there as a professional athlete? Personally, I wouldn’t want to live in a big city, in fact I much prefer to live in the country. But I would think most players wouldn’t want to live out in BFE for six months out of the year. I mean, out of all the great U.S. cities that you can be playing in, you have to play in Green effing Bay, Wisconsin. I don’t want to be too incensitive to the city or anything, as I’m sure they have at least six or seven proud citizens, but that would blow.
I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
I'm sure the players keep homes in Milwaukee or Chicago
You stay in the city 20 weeks out of the year then you go to either a summer home or live in the city

Can't hardly blame Favre for
becoming a drunk and pill-popper. No night-life and the only thing to do is booze it up.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Eh,
He was those things before he got to Green Bay.
Ask Jerry Glanville. LMAO.

The glass is more than half-full.
Maybe that's why he retires/unretires for attention
He’s bored.

Not to mention
that the only reason the Green Bay Packers are fan-owned are because the original owner couldn’t afford to field a team one season so sold shares to the fans to raise the cash he needed.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Excellent Timing
Of all days for this Packers post to run, this is a pretty good one. Here is a story about a yet-to-be-named Packers player accused of sexual assault.
Can't forget Johnny Jolly
and his ongoing drug case

Many years ago....
I went with my friend Tim- who happened to shave his head (not very common back then) and also be from Wisconsin- to a Seahawks-Packers game at the Kingdome in Seattle.
After the game Tim was accosted by some Seahawks fans who cleverly referred to him as a, “Cheese-head Skinhead.”
… you’d think it was funny if you were there.

I just got an email from a fan of the Packers
I will no longer be doing the “At Least We’re Not…” series. The Texans, they took it in stride. They know what’s up. I want to go over to that blog and hang out with them anymore. But the Cardinals and the Packers now have gotten insulted by these posts even though I have noted that they are, indeed, completely and utterly satirical. I won’t be doing another one of these, sorry guys.
I don’t like to offend people. It’s not “my thing.”
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
That sucks man
That series was fun while it lasted. And definitely, the Texans’ one was great. I especially liked the part about the uniforms. And then to go read how the Texans fans thought about it was great. They do seem like cool guys who can joke about their team’s flaws, even if those flaws are real or fake. And I have to wonder how many people understand what satirical means.

"Please refer to this fanpost I made on SB Nation’s Houston Texans blog for the proper response to an entirely satirical article."

I really liked their reaction
and laughed really hard when someone commented that we automatically win because of Patrick Willis.
As a side note, how many have you read this interview Matt Schaub had with Jason Cole where Cole kept calling Schaub boring?

Here's the link.

It’s not a bad read, but the best is definitely Schaub talking about how people said he needed to be more colorful during his interviews so he wore a colorful shirt. Maybe it is just something about Houston that makes people enjoy humor, but Schaub is good in my book.

I will probably keep doing them. I guess I just need a longer disclaimer..

Sweet!
Maybe even email the mod about it ahead of time and see how they think it would go over…or not. I wouldn’t mind seeing other blogs do the same to the 49ers. Some people don’t know how to have fun, I guess.

Very funny, I didn’t realize how much Green Bay sucked. Come to think of it this article is the first time in my life that I’ve every given any thought to Green Bay and that is another testament to how much they suck.
I know what I'm talking about, I started at right guard for the 1992 College Park Falcons.
Jealousy
At first glance reading this article I was laughing and thought How Funny! But after further review this article makes us True Niner Fans look very jealous of the Green Bay Packers QB! The Niners had the chance to take Rodgers but instead ended up with my man Alex Smith. Lets face it though Alex Smith is no Aaron Rodgers! Aaron Rodgers is a very good QB with the chance to be GREAT! Our guy Alex Smith has yet to prove that he is anything but a bust! I hope this is OUR year but lets face it the Packers are in much better position to succeed with Rodgers than we are with Smith!! So maybe next time an article is written like this we will all think twice about who is actually the better team!!!!!! Why bash them? That makes us look like a bunch of jealous fans that ended up on the wrong side of the Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers draft!!!!!
At Least We're Not The Packers?
Seriously dude…this post is so bad it’s awesome. We’ve been passing it around here in WI and having a ball with it. Thank you thank you thank you!
My favorite part is the suggestion that you were better off drafting Smith than Rodgers because of a mustache Rodgers use to have. And your shot at our corners (Def MVP?) was pretty badass too.
Yes, we’re the team who traded our Hall of Fame QB and later got beat by him. Dude…does that sound at all familiar to you?
Here’s a piece of information you may have overlooked: YOU’RE A REALLY BAD FOOTBALL TEAM AND WE’RE NOT! Not sure how else to say that.
As for our ‘illegitimate’ championships, our team and those championships helped build this league! You say you have five legitimate championships, eh? What are those trophies called again?
And thanks for holding off on the offensive ‘packer’ slur. That one would be tough to hear from a guy living in San Francisco (you do know what the rest of the world knows you for, right? Hint: It’s not Rice-A-Roni). So when we beat your little California asses in the sweltering heat of December in our pansy ass little village I’m sure it’ll make us feel better to know that you folks have your high-culture cheerleaders to console you. And as far as the culture of your beloved city goes…yeah dude, that’s what football is all about.
Oh yeah, the us not having tough, gritty guys like your gold prospectors thing… Three words: Ray Effing Nitschke.
And your beer sucks.

I sense a lot more...
…being upset than actual joking back at me. The opening line is indicative of that. You guys really need to learn how to take a joke, seriously.
Top Tip for England's next game: If you're watching on Sky+ press pause and wait a second before pressing play. Being a second or two behind the live play will give you that authentic Emile Heskey viewpoint.
Stalk me on Twitter!
I really was just joking around
I’m not at all upset. I’m just having a little fun refuting your post. But let’s be fair, you kinda walked into it with that write-up. And there’s in no sense getting upset with me and pretending I’m the one with no sense of humor here.
The real question you need to be asking yourself isn’t, ‘How pissed is this guy?’ Rather, ‘Is he right?’ (Psst…I am). Or you could go with, ‘How much better are the Packers than we are?’ (psst…a lot). Or you could ask yourself, ‘Is their quarterback way the hell better than our QB will ever be?’ (If you need help with that one you’ll get in in December).
…and I want credit for not ripping your grammar throughout all this.

Living in SF I'd think you'd like the Packers
Obviously someone attempting to capture the attention and anger of Packer Nation to boost his readership. I’m sure he’s ripped the Cowboys too.
