Your life

Username: Gopher Trace. I’m also at PN(dot)net as Charon21. IRL I’m named Firas. I used to be a user at olde FF too, but... we don’t speak of it. =p
Age: 27
Born in: Milwaukee, WI
Live in now: “Greater Milwaukee” area.
Something unique about you: I met LeRoy Butler at a family friend's graduation party. I chatted him a bit, got a picture taken with him and have his autograph. I was also at the last game of his NFL career, which sadly was also a loss (the only game I attended where they lost; they’re 4-1 when I’m there). Yeah, he's good people.

Your love of the Packers

When did you start following the Packers: I was 7 when we won the SuperBowl with Favre but did not appreciate the game until about 2000 when I was 10.
What made you become a fan: growing up in Packerland where the enthusiasm for our team is contagious, and Favre was just so much fun to watch, how could I not!?
Favorite current Packers: Rodgers, Haha, Mike Daniels. Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, and Blake Martinez really won me over last season.
All-time favorite Packers: OH YOU BETTAH BEREEV I’M GOING TO LIST EVERY SINGLE ONE!! Rodgers, Favre, Ahman Green, Ryan Grant, DD, Jordy Nelson, TJ Lang, Bryan Bulaga, David Bakhtiari, Mike McKenzie, Woodson, T-Will, 31theDirtyOne, Nick Collins, Barnett, CM3, William Henderson, Aaron Kampman, GJ85 (you know, before he became a diva) .... I should really say Butler too given my history with him LOL but I did not truly appreciate safety play at the time, so it’d be a lie. I respect him for what he is, though.
Favorite moment in team history: when we BTFO’d Atlanta in our SuperBowl run (somehow that game was more satisfying than the actual Championship). Beating the Pats in 2014 was also an awesome game; it was SuperBowl-like -- played amazingly from start to finish.

Your interests

Other favorite teams: meh, I don’t care about other sports. When the Packers are out of contention, I typically pull for Pitt and New England (pls no bully) the rest of the way.
Hobbies outside of football: music/concert-going, writing, watching documentaries, travel, trying new food and drink, and various "activist" pursuits.
Favorite movie: Malcolm X.
Favorite TV Show: The Great British Bake Off. Love It Or List It. (Aside from football games, I basically never watch TV, but those are the kinds of shows I watch when I do).
Favorite band: I have a new infatuation every few months. 'Currently on a big Red Sun Rising kick. All-time? I’m never “not in the mood” to listen to: Rush, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, ‘Crue.

Cheers!

When did you start following the Packers:

Been a fan since the moment of conception. :) Fondest memories of my teens/early twenties was watching my favorite player, Safety Chuck Cecil, spearing several running backs (guy was either fearless or crazy...no, he was just crazy), watching in amazement at the YAC ability of Sterling Sharpe (Choo Choo Baby!), the Majik to Sharpe connection game in like 1988 when they finally beat the Bears, Favre coming in for an injured Majkowski to beat the Saints, and then starting his record playing streak...Favre's game against Oakland after his dad died...

No, none at all.  Just an anonymous user name taken from a character in a book.   No real significant implications to the choice though.

Now that you've been using for awhile.....if given a second choice, would you pick the same one (?) or choose another - and why? :)

I have been a womb to the tomb Browns fan all my life - but I am also an NFL fan. When I was a lad of 8 years old, my uncle came over to the house and we watched the 1965 Championship Game where the Packers beat the Browns. Had a blast that day, and the die was cast. I loved those two teams. Love the iconic look of the Packer uniform. My sister in law is a Green Bay native, and obviously a crazy Packer fan.
