On this Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for being the reigning World Champions, and for the 10-0 start to the season. We hope that the win streak continues, but think the Packers have a battle on their hands today in an unfriendly environment. At least all Packer fans can enjoy watching the game, as it will be broadcast everywhere. Now back to Part II of our feature on last week’s Tampa Bay game, which we attended. Above, here’s a look at the Packers’ bench area at game time.
On the opposite end of the field from our North end zone seats, QB Aaron Rodgers goes to work against the Tampa defense.
The Packers come toward us, ready to snap the ball.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens at the game while you’re watching a “T.V. Time Out” at home, well… nothing happens, as evidenced by this photo.
The top arrow denotes the location of the Packers Radio Network booth, while the bottom arrow shows the location of the broadcast booth for whichever network is carrying the game. In this case, it was the FOX Network. Do you wonder how that is determined? It’s simple: the visiting team’s conference determines which network (A.F.C. teams are carried by CBS; N.F.C. teams by FOX). This doesn’t apply, however, to Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night games.

Whether on the road or at home, Packer fans love to yell out “KUUUHHHHNNNN” whenever the situation calls for the FB to score or get a first down. In this case, they fans not only yell — they spell out his name.

Look at that opening for Rodgers to run through should he find no open receivers!

We thought that our games were maybe over for the year, but we received our “Gold Package” Playoff tickets invoice today. That will mean, if all goes well, a Divisional game and the N.F.C. championship. If all goes well...
