Thanksgiving is here and the comment section is open
With Thanksgiving providing most of us a needed day away from our respective places of work, Peter and I thought it best to use this newsletter a little differently. We’re opening up the comment section to everyone and the two of us will pop in throughout Thursday and Friday to respond to questions (and drag anyone who dares slander mac and cheese as a Thanksgiving side).
So, if you need a break from your family gathering or just looking for a distraction between the games, we’ve got you. The comment section is yours!
Loving The Leap! I read most posts before I get out of bed and it’s a great way to start the day. I’m a born and raised Cheesehead from Oshkosh, WI living in Sandy, OR. Home for the holiday and headed to GB on Saturday with my best friend from high school and our wives for the Lambeau tour and some Brett Favre steak and potatoes to celebrate being a new share-owner of an NFL franchise! We have two tickets to the Pack vs Rams game on Sunday. Pretty much a dream weekend if we can come away with a win. My question is should we buy into a prepared tailgate party (if so which one) or should we bring the grill and cooler and make our own beer & bratwurst magic in the parking lot?
Happy Thanksgiving all! Over here in the UK, the Packers have a huge fanbase. Favre and Rodgers have ensured the Packers games have been must show on Sky for the last 30 years, making them one of the best supported teams here. Other teams with large fanbases in the UK include the Patriots, Steelers and Giants, teams that have been good and on TV since the NFL really started taking off over here. Yet, in the US, all teams have equal ish (bar the Cowboys) coverage. So why do the Packers have such good support? Every game - regardless of where it is played - there is a strong Packers contingent, which feels quite unique. Is this again down to the Favre/Rodgers effect?
Love The Leap guys, thanks for the great content. GoPackGo.
