The Cheeseheads are gouda 'nuff


OK, let's get it over with.... congratulations to Green Bay (and to Mike and Solveig Zamzow) on the Packers' Super Bowl victory yesterday.

For some reason I have yet to fathom, this is- after the strange usage of a sports culture which seems to think that the NFL was founded in 1967- being spoken of merely as the Pack's fourth Super Bowl championship. The more relevant statistic, however, is that it represents Green Bay's thirteenth NFL championship- the most of any team (the Bears, with nine, are second).

I have never understood why people think that the name by which the championship game is called matters one way or the other.
