You have no idea how cold it is.
The digital thermometer outside says 3 degrees, and the wind is howling down the street. There are little dust-devils of trash and salt swirling around out there. And this is 2 hours SOUTH of Green Bay. I can only imagine the temperature at game-time when it will be dark. And Lambeau Field is the tallest thing for 200 miles around. The wind will be whipping off of Lake Michigan and the Bay and slamming into that stadium and all the moronic fans packed in there.
I wouldn't go if I had tickets. Hell, I wouldn't go if you paid me.
My school's (UW) band usually plays at halftime of the Packers games, but the band director said they wouldn't be allowed to play because their lips would instantly freeze to the metal mouthpieces of their instruments and cause serious and debilitating injuries. The NFL, despite their vast financial resources, could not get any national acts to come and play the national anthem so it will be sung by a local Wisconsin Country and Western band.
This place is pumped for this game. The stores are cleaned out of brats, cheese, and beer. Seriously. I live a half mile from the Miller Brewery where they produce massive quantities of beer, and you could not find a case of Miller High Life if you tried. The Johnsonville Brat company board can probably go out tomorrow and buy Ferraris for all of their children.
This will be epic. I hate the fucking Packers, and everyone on my block knows this. I am afraid to park my car with my Bears bumper stickers on the city streets for fear it will be vandalized by some huge drunk man clad in Green and Gold. My aparment will likely be tee-peed by the neighborhood cheesehead children. This is the midwest, and we don't fuck around with sports.
I hope these fucks lose, but given the conditions I don't see how it is possible. I don't care what kind of record the Gints have on the road this season. None of those wins came against Brett Favre, in Lambeau when the temperature is 20 below. He is for all intents and purposes unbeatable in these types of games. I predict Eli Manning shatters like a doll dipped in liquid nitrogen the first time some big dumb Packers lineman nails him.
There will likely be blood, as your skin tends to crack instead of flex when it is this cold.
Packers 24-Gints 13.

Awesome fucking post!
I'm totally stoked to be watching this game with the heat cranking and under a couple of thick blankets
I like both Eli and Favre but I want to see Favre take it all the way this year and then retire
that Seattle game was legendary
GO PACK
