Sad picture, because the Packers lost that game and the 2nd guy from left hung himself with that enormous string of beads.

And then--it was so crazy--Brett Favre puked up his vicodins and beer and picked them out of the puddle of yummy and reingested them.

And all of Wisconsin clapped. After they were taught how.

Packers suck.
Go Bears!!!!!

As found over by the kids at Deadspin, the Green Bay Packers hate your freedom. They have a rule, it seems, that a site can link to the Packers.com home page without permission, but any other page on the site requires a request in writing to some guy with a mailing address.

i am pretty sure that the guy on the left is wearing a t-shirt that says Bi-Curious, and he is looking at the guy in black pants. When did they start letting gays into Packer games?

If you could pick one team in all of sports to not really understand how the internet works, or at least to treat the internet in the most square, humorously unreasonable way possible, which franchise would you expect that to be?

2 of those guys tshirts are partially obscured so i'm going out on a limb here in guessing that the guy on the left is wearing a shirt that says "CURIOUS!" and the guy in the middle works out at "DOUCHEBOYS GYM".

the guy on the right just stopped by on his way way to a metallica concert to pick up a pack of newports.
