It is a cold, January afternoon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and we are doing what I imagine everyone else in Wisconsin is doing, yoga…. just kidding. Like, just about everyone else, we are watching THE GAME.
I’m not really a football fan but you can’t be here at the moment and not be at least a little bit swept away by the Packers. They are on fire. Jim is a fan. He grew up in Milwaukee and has followed the Packers his whole life. So I thought I’d get to know the Packers and Jim a little bit better by asking him some thought provoking, riveting questions.
DO YOU THINK YOU LOOK GOOD IN YOUR PACKER’S PARKA?
I look fabulously cool and fashionable wearing that big green coat. [ I added the bit about big and green]
DO YOU FOLLOW ANY OTHER FOOTBALL TEAMS?
No, I’m mostly just a Packers fan. [at least it’s not hockey, those playoffs go on for ages]
WHAT MAKES THE PACKERS SO SPECIAL?
They are one of the oldest franchises in the league and they play in the smallest market and in a small town. This year they have overcome such incredible adversity and so many injures. The team has so much character. [that is pretty amazing]
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO A GAME?
About five years ago, I’d rather watch the game at home where I can really see and analyze the plays. [plus it’s really cold out there …]
DID YOU PLAY FOOTBALL AS A CHILD?
I played defensive back and receiver in grade school it was my favorite game. [I thought playing hooky was your favorite game]
WHAT MADE YOU SWITCH OVER TO YOGA?
It wasn’t exactly a switch over, there were quite a few years in between, but I will say, there are way more cute girls in yoga practices. [I better be one of those cute girls…]
DO YOU THINK THE PACKERS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL?
Yes, absolutely. The Packers are in ‘The Zone’ and they have a huge amount of momentum behind them. [ Go Pack Go]
