Happy Birthday, Packerville!

January 28th marks seven complete years on the internet for Packerville, U.S.A., so we’re throwing ourselves a party. That’s seven years and 1,493 blog posts (including this one). Who would’ve thought that we’d have enough continuous material to keep this project going for that long? Special thanks go out to our readers who never fail to send us compliments, suggestions, questions, and corrections. There is cake in the break room for as long as it lasts. Stop by and grab a piece.

In other news, here’s a photo of Packers’ RB Eddie Lacy during Sunday’s Pro Bowl. Really? Those are the best uniforms that they had to choose from in the design process?

Wilson, the exclusive supplier of NFL footballs, has posted some Super Bowl graphics. This one honoring QB Bart Starr is of particular interest to Green Bay fans.

Wilson also has supplied some images of their production of official Super Bowl footballs, which they usually do the week before the game.
