I’ve followed the NFL since the 80’s initially following Dan Marinos Dolphins. I showed an interest in the Browns for obvious reasons. However when Channel 4 lost NFL and it moved to Sky, I only ever watched the Super Bowl. You don’t really follow a team then but lend your support to one of the teams.
Fast forward to 2017 and I switched TV from Virgin to Sky. As I got a good deal for Sports, I started watching NFL again as I was becoming disillusioned with “soccer”.
I never really had a team, but nearly went for the Vikings with purple being my favourite colour. Anyway, as this is where my memory may be a bit flaky, The Packers were playing, 49ers I think, and we were one score down with not long left. In the space of 2 minutes, Rogers had moved the ball down from our 5/10 yard line to a touchdown and I just thought “wow”. The rest is history, though I probably became a Rogers fan before a Packers.
Now AR has left I’m still a Packers fan. They are in my blood now. While I’m not confident about this season, as long as we end up above the Bears with a winning record I’ll be happy.
