Guess who made the show Americas Game on NFL Network?

First off this week we have some Dee Snider cleanup to do. The response for the contest was great, a few good stories and a couple good ones. I am still taking stories so keep them coming. This story I have for you comes from Deanna Weiser, of the North Dakota Weisers (not to be confused with the Seattle Weisers), She tells us of an athletic Dee Snider from back in the 80's. I love stories from the 80's. The 80's were rough on people. The only thing that would make this story better would be a picture but, alas, in the 80's everyone did not have a phone camera. Here goes...

Chris,

I just want to share my Dee Snyder story with you!!

In 1989 I was a traveling nurse in the east coast. I worked in CT and ME. One weekend my girlfriend and I went to Vermont to ski at Bromley ski resort. We noticed people pointing up to the chair lift and there was this guy with long, blonde, curly hair and a black, one piece ski suit. We found out it was Dee Snider from Twisted Sister. Had heard of him in the early 80's but didn't really know any more than that. Well, he happened to be in front of us by a chair or two on the lift and when he got off to the left, he fell. Well the people in front of us veered to the right and we were forced to go to the left as we got off the lift. He was still on the ground and right in front of me, and I was unable to turn sharp enough to miss him and my skis straddled his and I almost ran into his Butt with my right ski!!! I put my foot in my mouth by saying, "I almost hit your butt with my ski" and was extremely embarrased, but later thought, what is a celebrity doing embarrasing himself by skiing the way he did!!

That's my story for you. Hope you enjoyed it!!

Deanna Weiser

Great story Deanna. For the record you are the last person I would expect to have a Dee story. Just gotta watch out for his butt. It seems that Marty had mentioned it also. Nice of you to capitalize butt also. Either way, the Twisted Sister Guitar pic is on the way. Oh, first I need your address so send it to me.

Now, Ken Reid of the Edmonton Reids, sent me a link for a great Dee Snider story. The only thing is, is that Dee is telling the story.

I must say that picture of McKenna up on the Jumbotron and holdting up signs is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! She may be the chosen one. She could become more powerful than the both of us.

So the NFL Network has been running this series called Americas Game. Basically a countdown of the greatest Super Bowl Champions in history. The other night was number 16, the 1996 Green Bay Packers. I set my PVR and was quite excited to sit down and watch it. By the way, I wonder where the vikings are on that list. Oh yeah, that's right, they have never won it so they must be around ZERO. vikings suck.



Anyway as I am watching the show, which chronicled the year that they won it. I was watching it with my brother in law, Mitch Davis, of the Regina Davis', and they came to the presser when Brett said he was addicted to painkillers and was going to rehab. I was just telling Mitch that I was there, when they showed a reverse shot of all the cameras there and, BINGO, right in the middle, yours truly. See if you can see me in there. Donna looked at it and could not pic me out. I must look a bit different now.



Here is a closer shot. That is me on the left...



Awesome. Have a look at the video...

But it gets better. Later in the show they showed the footage of Brett Favre, Frankie Winters, and Don Beebe going Trick or Treating at Mike Homgren's house. Of course, I was the guy who shot that. They did about 10 minutes of the show on this. I was blown away. Here it is...

It was so cool to see myself and my stuff on a network show. A network show about the greatest football team ever, the Green Bay Packers. A double whammy. It truly was a good Christmas. Which I will mention that I got some killer Packers stuff for the 'Packers Spare Bedroom' that I built in the basement. So if you visit, and encourage you all to do so (especially those of you who are viqueens fans), you will get the luxury of sleeping on Packers sheets and pillows, all the while being comforted by the Packers green walls and Packers borders. I rule.

FINALLY: The Packers have a shot this week at the playoffs. They have to beat da Bears. I believe, because we all know that the BEARS STILL SUCK. Here is a pic courtesy of Trev and the season opener at Lambeau.

Enjoy...
