Yes, I am excited as a sports fan and lover of history. My team , the Green Bay Packers are undefeated at 7-0 under the leadership of Quarterback Aaron Rodgers who has turned out to be the number one quarterback in the NFL.  The Green and Gold are moving forward to break a lot of records and I hope take down the Mighty Miami Dolphins who went undefeated in 1972.

Watching the game last Sunday was a bit tense at moments but provided much excited and never a dull moment. Now the packers are  up against the San Diego Chargers this Sunday.  I am looking forward to watching an epic battle of quarterbacks between Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers.

Browsing through our product line of  unique sports gifts at Anydate.com one can revisit some great moments in history from anyone of your favorite NFL teams as well as other sports. For me personally, picking up the History of the Green Bay Packers through the pages of the NY Times can be a journey through the up and downs and exciting moments of my favorite team. Just remembering the stories of Bart Starr, the down years of David Whitehurst and the exciting Sunday that Lynn Dickey gave us still, resonates today when I share those stories with my oldest son.

My oldest and only son  Ben, not 10 years old, is in a flag football league similar to what I experienced as a kid in the Milwaukee neighborhood leagues on the Northwest side of the city. The league place me on the “Minnesota Vikings” team even though I was a Green Bay Packer diehard which at first was uncomfortable but after we started beating our opponents and it felt pretty good. Seeing my son running patterns, going deep, and ripping the flags off opposing players is something that  makes me proud and reminds of those afternoons playing flag football myself.

It is nice to see the love of Football carry over another generation and being able to support a team that is 7-0 and looking pretty good. Good luck this week Green and Gold!
