I already knew that most people in Milwaukee were crazy, but for proof I had to look no further than Sunday afternoon. You see, Sunday afternoon means that a Green Bay Packers game is on and that means people go insane.
My first clue was when I was at the gym during game time. I hopped on the treadmill and looked up at the bank of TVs above the bank of treadmills. Of the 8 TVs, 6 of them were set to the Packers game, 1 was set to the other football game, and the last was set to “Saving Private Ryan”. The other joggers were watching the Packers game with such intensity that they would swear with what spare breath they had. I swear that one guy almost fell off the damn treadmill when Brett Favre fumbled the ball. The guy recovered when the ref ruled it an incomplete pass.
On the way home the game ended and people began pilling out of bars and restaurants cheering like the Packers had won the Super Bowl. I get home looking for the next game to be covered on CBS but I was out of luck. The local stations had taken over and were going to give me 3 HOURS of post game coverage. How can post game coverage be longer than the actual game? However, the fans did look like they’re having a fun time rooting for their team. I don’t know whether to join them or filing a restraining order against everyone in the state.
