From an SI survey of players. Most knowledgable fans:

Green Bay 26%

Pittsburgh 14%

New York 9%

Philadelphia 8%

Dallas 7%

I'm not so sure I believed it after the whole Favre fiasco. Granted, the pissed off ones are the more outspoken but I can't tell you how many village idiots came out of the woodwork.

Reading on facebook/myspace/blogs/comments most of them also couldn't spell/type on these forms of media:

"Fire ted Thumpson an Mike Mcarth Brett got them there jobs and their lost with-out him how dare they tell Brett to leve"

Actually, eerily similar to a Reed post.

Wow, and that's not even a close 2nd. I thought the general nation-wide perception (oh, and Toronto Raptor fan's too) of Wisconsinites was that we're dumb, toothless, drunk, morbidly obese farmers. Well they got the drunk part right at least. So I wonder why NFL players think so highly of us Packer fans?

Is there a link for this? I'd love to show this to some of my friends that are fans of other NFL teams.

I'm really surprised when you consider the 40 year old mom contingent of Packer fans who think there was no one the team but Favre. And it was Favre's fault the defense sucked, and Favre's fault Schroeder ran the wrong route etc etc.

Part of the reason we are so high on the list is we have fans like Wilford **** Brimley rooting for the Packers,no other team can say that.
