    Below is a video a fan did while at the Monday night Packer Viking game at Lambeau Field. Some extra commercials or over paid annaylists were more important than this? What a disservice to our Nations Vets and Men and Woman serviceman!

    I was sitting about 10 or 15 seats over from the person recording that. It sure was a sight to see. I cant say what it looked like on tv or if they even aired it as I didnt watch it.
    But I will say it looked great in person!!

    Agree, with all the repetitive commentary given during the game, they could have easily found fifteen seconds to show this. Our local Milwaukee station gave us a glimpse of it during the news after the game or I would have never seen it.

    It’s a shame our veterans didn’t get to see that on National T.V.

    Jawarski and Gruden must have had something very important like bragging about how good “AROD” is! If I heard it once I heard it 10 times! Very nice thought…..Even from the Green Bay people…..Like it was a strech for that one? Relax!

    In the pre-game show, that had a quick segment about all the cards placed on the seats for the fans to do this. Was looking forward to seeing it….and like stated, didn’t see it air ESPN dropped the ball again

    I’m sure the programming Director would like to know what everyone thinks 1-888-549-ESPN

    All you get from that number is some call center that says they will forward your concern, yea right into the trash. I sent an email from here to let them know of my concern of such a discredit to our veterans.

    Instead, ESPN decided to go with an intro that had a Marine comparing football to war!

    Did anyone see it?

    That was cool. Wish it would have been shown. Obviously half of the Vikings players were helping the ignorant/arrogant Packer fans spell it because the Queens sure were tired during the game

    They must not have liked my comments much, or they are getting heat on this, as I actually got a reply from someone at ESPN that my comments were forwarded up the food chain…

    That surprised me a bit to be honest.

    instant classic

    This pretty much gives us an idea of how the queens fans act after a beatdown!
