This week’s random fact involves Packers training camp.
A phenomenon unseen elsewhere in the NFL is players riding bikes from the locker room to the practice field. The bikes belong to kids who live near enough to the stadium to bike there. As the players leave the locker room and prepare the quarter mile trek to the practice field, the kids are waiting. The players hand over the bike, and in return get to carry the players helmet. Doesn’t sound like a great deal to you? A friend of mine showed up for years, and had Leroy Butler ride his bike everyday, year after year. He got Christmas gifts from Butler, as well as attending his graduation. The Butlers have become family friends to him, all because of a bike ride. This is just another reason that the Packers are one of the most loved teams in the NFL. They’re human, they let themselves be normal guys with the kids. Kids who grow up seeing how great these guys are and become lifelong fans of this team. This is just one of the many reasons there is a 40+ year waiting list for season tickets. Comments |
