Most people, especially outside the Dairy State, see the cheesehead as either a Packer backer or simply a Wisconsinite. However, to categorize these individuals in such black and white terms is like saying the Packers' playbook has two types of plays: awesome and crappy. The most accurate assessment of Packer Nation I can come up with is that there are three types or grades of cheeseheads: A, B, and Z. A- These are the true die-hards. Their blood is mixed with green and gold grease from the brats and cheese curds that make up the bulk of their diet. They usually have season tickets to every Packer game until Armageddon (when the Bears win their next Super Bowl). To them, being a Packer fan is synonymous with being an American. B- I proudly include myself in this group. We root for the Badgers, have degrees from UW-Madison, but acknowledge that the Bears are more dependable than the Packers when it comes to division titles. Most of us don't really despise the Packers except when they beat our Bears. Z- Wisconsinites with the despicable gall to wear Vikings gear in public and justify their treachery by stating they're supporting a washed-up old redneck who should have stepped gracefully out of the limelight four years ago instead of making himself the scourge of Packer Nation and a burden to any team who can afford to put up with his inconsistency and wishy-washiness. In book news, "Knickknack" jumps to #3 on the Authors' Den bestseller list! Thanks, fans!
