Lambeau Field

Finally went to Green Bay on Friday to see the Packers and Brett Favre. We started around 2:00 but the traffic was horrible on I-94. So we only made it by 6:00. The scrimmage with the Bills started at 7:00. I wanted to see some real hot stuff from Brett and the Packers but they didn't look that good. The Bills looked much better prepared and the usual ebullient crowd wasn't really cheering that loud when the Packer offense was on the field. The Pack defense still looks shaky as before and the Bills QBs found the end zone rather easily. Since this was a practice scrimmage, tackling was line/thud (don't know what that term means) to avoid injuries. I just had to admire the restraint shown by the defensive players when they got close to the QuarterBack.. I am sure they would have loved to give it to the QBs.. Reminded me of that old Coors Twins commercial
"I love quarterbacks eating dirt
Pom-poms and short skirts"

Anyway this might be the last Favre season so hopefully he will pick it up during the regular games. Actually at end of the game the presenters were trying to shove the new rookie QB to the forefront but with the usual cliches he tried to be modest. "Brett's Team, Brett's field. I am just taking it one practice at a time. blah blah".

One amazing thing, we didn't see a single other desi group in the crowd. Not even the American born!! It was like you go to a rock concert you will find a usual sprinkling of desis here and there but none in this event.. That was like totally unexpected..

Anyway it was fun throughout. But we need to go to a real football game. Now that would be something!!
