It's not.

It's just the "in" thing to hop on the green bandwagon. It's like when they hold a "green" concert in Brazil, and all the musicans and VIPs fly in on their private jets that burn fuel...I would make it all into a docu-drama, but some lunkhead already misused the title, "An Inconvient Truth"...

Why can't the NFL just play football?...leave the politcal BS off the field...

I thought it had something to with the Packers colors??

A lot of sports talk about "green" lately. Like this is something new???
My family has practiced this sort of thing forever and ever.

Well, its "new" to those with a political angle that don't really believe half of what they say...

I rather it be about the Packers.

All I know is I watched March of the Penguins last year and if those poor birds have to walk only half as far now that all the ice is melting, that's a good thing, isn't it?

I'm picking the upset in this game. Detroit HAS to have this game. The rest of their schedule is absolutley brutal.

Forget the Lions, now. They're toast. The might not win another game this year:

At Minnesota
Dallas
at SD
KC
at Green Bat

Maybe, just maybe they might beat KC.

I picked them too, based on their past performances on Thanksgiving at home. They always played tough and this year their team was good enough I thought they stood a chance.
Guess the neutral carbons didnt help them any.
