Last week while watching the Packers vs 9ers game, all I heard from Aikman and Buck while you hear chants of "Go Pack Go" in Levi stadium is that the Packers fans travel well.  

So, you mean to tell me all those people traveled from Wisconsin to California?  Uh, what?

Just wondering if this captures anybody attention but mine?

Might just be in my head, but I've always felt that statement as being a little tongue-in-cheek. They know that people from Pittsburgh aren't flying all over the country for games, yet there are always Steeler fans everywhere.

 

"They must 'travel well'" *wink wink* *cough* BANDWAGON *cough*

I think that you will notice that teams with lots of recent wins, and/or National Titles or SB's will always "travel well".

 

Most of them arrive via bandwagon.

This is true, but there are still a handful of franchises that just have a large fanbase due to prolonged success and "Dynasty" years. 

Dallas, GB, Pittsburgh, and more recently, NE come to mind. You will find more of those fans than any other team due to the "prestige" and history associated with the franchises. They are (excluding Dallas) perennial playoff teams and well run organizations (again excluding Dallas).

Dallas fans are just mouth breathers that don't realize how shittily run their franchise truly is. And they're stupid. But I will say, they are loyal.

Yup. Chicago would be an example of a team that just has loyalty in recent years.

That "travel well" line is bullsh*t.  The Seahawks are a perfect example.  They played here last year and there were quite a few of those clowns walking around in crisp new 12 and Wilson jerseys.  The only place those morons traveled was to a computer so they could log into Amazon.com and buy a Hawks jersey.  "Travel Well" is the PC term for "fuging weak kneed flip flopping bandwagon asshole".

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
