Green Bay, WI – Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half.
Cartoon that shocked Midwest
The spark igniting the latest tailgate hibachi of unrest: a Texas newsletter’s publication of caricatures of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi.
Protestors demonstrated against the images throughout the Badger State yesterday, with violent egging and cow-tipping incidents reported in Oconomowac, Pewaukee, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Antigo, Oshkosh, Waubeno, Wauwautosa, Waunewoc, Wyocena, Waubeka, and Washawonamowackapeepee.
Mock ’em if they can’t take a joke.
That said, I would not advise wearing a Seahawks jersey or dressing up like you work at Food Locker this week in Green Bay.
Why did Obama lie about Benghazi?
Were the replacement NFL refs to blame?

Anywhere within Wisconsin State lines and an appropriate buffer zone beyond.
Sports team supporters seem to be the USA’s last critical mass of emotion.
Iowa Hawk Rules!
As a Bills fan having suffered through the lousy first string NFL officiating in the “music city miracle” ; I’m all broken up.
Where’s my ice fishing spear?

wait until they start throwing cheese wheels . . .
In CFL news – the stars of the week for Week 13 went to:
Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Chad Simpson and linebacker Henoc Muamba, BC Lions linebacker Adam Bighill and Montreal Alouettes kick returner Trent Guy. And the new category, the moon of the week, went to Calgary Stampeder RB Jon Cornish.
I would note that, if the Packers fans merely did as described in this post, they didn’t go Favre enough. They should have told every Texan to get Brett and stuff it…
Limbaugh pointed out yesterday that the Lefty media has been a lot more bent out of shape by a bad call from a non-union ref than they were about losing a whole f-ing embassy, with video of the ambassador getting tortured, killed and dragged through the streets by savages.
Not to put too fine a point on it.
I blame Governor Walker. He’s moved Wisconsin into a higher class, leaving the state with no middle class and then this is bound to happen.
Oh the humanity!

sorry bud, the refs got that call right! first time. there’s no debate in the nfl that the refs got that call wrong.
that said, i’m really bummed that cj spiller is out for a week or two. he’s been the best fantasy player on UdidntBuildThat.

I forgot to say to rich “it was a backwards pass”.

I loved this satirical bit. Made my day.

Great satire. Loved it.
You would NOT want to live in Montreal if it had happened there.
