Walker/Quinn Bet = Fan Challenge
Good idea.
MADISON - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn have made an unusual bet over Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
Walker’s office said the governor of the losing team’s state would volunteer at a food pantry in the winning team’s state, wearing a T-shirt featuring the winning team.
How about we go one step further? I’m going to donate 1 food item to an area food pantry for every point the Packers score. I challenge you to do the same. I bet Packer fans can donate more than Bears fans, what do you think?
UPDATE: It’s ON!
Well, I’m not betting on the game because it’s bad karma, but this is more a challenge than a bet and for a good cauuse. I will donate one food item for every point the Bears score, and I’ll challenge my friends to do the same. Great idea Wendy!!

This ought to work well, since Bears fans are cheap and used to exploiting the generosity of Wisconsinites.

I doubt many Packer fans would give up food for anything.

Our resident GBDS sufferer has finally resurfaced .... I’ve been waiting for him to pop his head out ever since Saturday night’s beat down of the Falcons.
As I recall, his exact quote following the Eagle victory was ‘Hot-lanta is going to fry your cheese and send the packer faithful into yet another heart-breaking last game of the season loss.’
Anyway ... as for the challenge ... I’m in on the Packers!

You’re right, I misspoke. The heart-breaking last game of the season loss comes this Sunday; and it will be even more heart-breaking since it will come at the hands of the Bears.
Packer fans are fat. (feel free to save that and re-post it as much as you like)

Sooo….Mr. PP, can we mark you down for some food for Bears points?

Haha. I’m not bitching. I’m merely noting the fact that I don’t expect the Bears to score nearly as much as the Packers on Sunday.

Nope. I don’t care for the Bears or the Packers, or any team for that matter. In fact, I really don’t follow football all that much.
I just enjoy watching overweight, under-educated Packer fans cry, complain, and nearly blow their brains out over a silly game of millionaires playing catch.

In fact, I really don’t follow football all that much.
I can only imagine that your big fat mommy neglected you while watching too much football.
Or maybe the other kids wouldn’t let you play at recess because you were skinny and weak.
Whatever, get back on your meds, get some therapy, but most importantly, shut up.
I’m in on Wendy’s challenge. Go Pack!Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on January 20, 2011 at 0835 hrs
For a guy who doesn’t care about Football, he sure wastes a lot of comment space blathering on about it.
And what the hell is with all the gratuitus pot shots at Packer fans physical appearance that crop up in every single post he makes about the Packers?

i’m in….for the bears.

Hey just for extra incentive, the President has said that if the Bears win, he will go to see the super bowl. So lets help save some government spending by keeping the President and his needed entourage at home! (This is all tongue-in-cheek-)

@Charlie…Dollars to donuts, you’re fat. Oops…better not mention donuts around addle-minded Packer fans.

Mr. PP, can you please hijack a different post rather than the one where football fans are trying to do something positive?

Wendy, this is brilliant. My wife and I have taken your challenge to help a Fox Valley food bank and challenged our offices (one a private university development office and the other a state unemployment office) to do the same.

Dollars to donuts, you’re fat.
I’ll take that bet Mr. Pee Pee.
And how about another? I’ll bet I’m better educated than you.
I always wondered who was watching figure skating instead of the football game.Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on January 21, 2011 at 1028 hrs
