At the end of last season I stated that the Green Bay Packers would win the Super Bowl within the next three years. This past fall I was sitting in the waiting room of Grease Monkey while my oil was being changed. I read an article in Sports Illustrated which predicted that the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers would meet in Super Bowl XLV. Many other NFL analysts were making the same prediction. I knew this would be an exciting season, and it sure was. A lot of people wrote the Packers off when the injuries began piling up, but the depth of the team was truly remarkable. Beating the Bears to clinch the Wildcard, and then beating those losers again to win the NFC Championship was amazing. It's always a big highlight of the season when we beat the Bears, but to beat them in both of those situations was indescribable. Equally indescribable was watching the Packers win Super Bowl XLV. The Super Bowl played out like the season, with key players being taken out of the game with injuries, but yet again, they were resilient.
Congratulations Green Bay Packers, and thank you for bringing the Lombardi trophy back to it's rightful home. I feel truly lucky to have been brought up to be a fan of such an amazing and historic football team. GO PACK GO!!!
I'll be heading to Wisconsin for my mom's birthday in a couple weeks and am hoping to make it up to Green Bay to see the newest member of our Lombardi Trophy collection!
