Another Reason to hate Packer Fans.

I'll just copy and paste the story here and let you discuss. and oh yeah NMVIKE posted this in the fanshot area, but I wanted this article to get more attention.

Vikings fan in Madison loses second mailbox to thieves By Gitte Laasby
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Updated: 01/18/2012 05:37:03 PM CST

In Packer Nation on the north side of Madison, Wis., someone isn't a good sport.

Thieves took it as an invitation to pillage Jan. 7 when they saw a Minnesota Vikings fan proudly displaying a purple mailbox in support of the rival team, police said in a report.

It was the second time thieves decided the 56-year-old Minnesota fan's mailbox had to go. The first time, a $600 plastic mailbox in the shape of a Vikings helmet was stolen outside the home at the end of December.

The Madison Police Department, which interviewed the female victim, noted as part of a report on the incident: "It was already not a great year for the Madison-based Vikings fans. Minnesota went 3 and 13. Their team mailed it in, and now they are at a loss to fly the colors to put mail in."

HAHAHA

If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

I hear people say that he will be

another Matt Cassell type, which I think is average, but I haven’t seen much of him to have an opinion of could he be a star or not.

He had a 6 TD game which just made everyone go nuts.

Yeah, I don’t think he’s all that great, but he could be good if put in a right situation. How’s life goin’ for you? How’s the stadium holding up?

I haven't been following it too closely

So it’s a bit confusing, but I guess you’re staying in Minnesota, which I’m assuming is good news…

How’s life goin’ for you?

If a Vikings fan asked this question at APC, 90% of the time the response would be:

TROLL!!!!

But since this is not APC….

Life’s going a hell of a lot better since Sunday.

For that blessing,

I can forgive the gods for 1998. However, 2009 is still up in the air unless Green Bay wins less than 6 games next year.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

if it is any consolation...

my life has been much better since the Saints loss. Your team’s loss helped…but it had less to do with my season ending on a happy note :)

Must have been a dream week for you ;-)

Packers and Saints losses…

Meh...

There are turds in every pool… You just can’t see them because they dissolve rather easily.

I am willing to bet there are plenty of Packers mailboxes in Minnesota that get similar treatment.

Why in the world would you spend $600 on a mailbox….sheesh

"You can write articles and do whatever you want, you can break down every player. Good, bad or ugly. But we just aren't good enough as a team, as a group. Offensively, defensively and special teams, from the No. 1 on the roster to the last man on the roster. We just aren't good enough. It's as simple as that." - Chad Greenway

Right?

I’m as much of a fan as the next person, but i’m far too much of a practical person to blow $600 on a mailbox.

Maybe she can help with the stadium?

Oh but she’s in Madison.

federal offense, isn't it??

that’s just stupid.

and hardy-har for the Madison PD:

Their team mailed it in, and now they are at a loss to fly the colors to put mail in.
i bet they think they’re clever.

It is indeed a federal offense

Punishable by a $1,000 fine or up to one year in prison, however I think that it is usually referred to the state to persecute it.
