Section 117 at Lambeau Field can be a contentious place. Located directly behind the visitor’s bench, it generally hosts plenty of rowdy fans rooting against our beloved Packers.
While we’re normally aghast at such disloyalty, my sister Kathy and I have made it our mission to hospitably encourage peace, harmony, happiness, and …

Last night, surrounded by Bear fans, we attempted to use Facebook Live to share our experience.
Unfortunately, we did not have enough reception to make that work.
Fortunately, our quarterback Aaron Rodgers did have plenty of reception and the Pack finally found a little offensive momentum, despite relying on two players (No. 34 Don Jackson and No. 30 Knile Davis) who weren’t even listed on the game day roster.
Not one to waste a perfectly good brand new lapel mic, I had a little fun and I’ll share a few live to tape observances and a picture or two.

- Bear fans really don’t like Jay Cutler. The hapless QB manned the phone in front of us, inspiring all sorts of commentary about pizza and Jimmy Johns deliveries.
Here is a clip or two of what you might have seen had you sat in Section 117 at Lambeau Field:
I’m playing my hubby in Fantasy Football this week. He has Aaron (he drafts him in the fist round every year) and Marcus Mariota. He benched Aaron this week. LOL…
Tell your hubby I benched Devante Adams. Argh!
