Biden brings Pack Win


I'm sure Green Bay's win over Minnesota had to be in large part to Joe Biden, yesterday, sharing his longtime devotion to the Pack..."I'm a Green Bay Packers guy from high school!"

That may be a stretch for someone who's claiming roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania and who grew up in Delaware.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

It would seem that someone from Scranton would be a Philadelphia Eagles fan, or possibly New York Giants.

Growing up in Delaware, a boy would probably have rooted for the New York Giants or Baltimore Colts.

Biden graduated from high school in 1961, the Packers stunk until Vince Lombardi (7-5 in his first season of 1959).

In 1960 they lost in the NFL title game to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Packers beat the New York Giants in 1961, but Biden would have graduated by the game on December 31st.

I wonder what fellow Packer fan, and someone who despises phony fans, John Deeth thinks?

I'll take an honest Bears fan over a bandwagon Packer fan any day (that seems to be the order of the ticket). Wonder if Joe will become a Steelers fan in western PA like a certain other candidate?

Though that's far from the worst pandering -- that prize goes to Rudy for claiming to cheer for the RED SOX last fall when it seemed advantageous in New Hampshire.

At least Joe didn't call it Lambert Field.
