The NFL tells the Packers they have to sell-out their playoff game by Thursday or the game in Green Bay will be blacked-out locally. Well, they couldn't find enough fans that wanted to go. Does the game get blacked-out like any other NFL game? No. They gave them another day, and a local bank bought up the tickets Friday. Packers fans are pretty weak, and the NFL needs to stick to its word. I live thirty minutes from Lambeau. People were turning down free tickets to this one. Now, why go to a game at all? The NFL won't stop you from seeing it on TV anymore, apparently. Or will they?
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.
