The Nordic Man makes the cut and shows up big...

I got to get better at doing the TundraTalk a bit more often. A lot has happened since we last spoke. The Packers are 1-1 by beating the snot out of the BearsStillSuck and losing to the BengalsAlwaysSuck. I have a lot to say about this but I have a more important announcement to get to. TundraTalk has spoken. The Nordic Man is in. Most would say that the Nordic One was a lock for this group and I would agree. He would have had to really screw up on his interview to mess this one up. Like tell us he has switched allegiancies to the queens or something drastic like that. He did not, and he got in.

I first met the Nordic one back in 1996 in the Brown County Arena at a Green Bay Gamblers game. I was making a lot of noise telling the other team that they sucked and so was he. I believe that we considered each other bookends in Section A and B. He was B. For the next 3 or 4 seasons we terrorized the USHL with our signature heckling and killer fashion sense. I consider him a brother from another mother and a guy who I would go into battle with any day of the week.

We may not agree on everything, but we do agree on the important things like a good bratwurst, beer, and the Green Bay Packers.

Nordic Man has something he would like to say...


Dear TundraTalk,

I would like to start by saying what an honor it is to be part of your entourage. I can't wait to see who else will make the cut. As being one that was there for the infamous "Dee Snider" comment, it makes me long for the nights of playing poker and listening to Denis on the box. I need not mention the late night runs across the street for pretzels and other munchies. Oops, I just did. I think that is how we stayed so slim.

It is always fun to sit around and talk about the old times and tip a few beers, (OK, maybe a lot of beers.) but what is best is being able to look back at the good times and knowing that that is not where it ends. Here is to many more good times to come, all the times I will get to tell you how wrong you are and why, and all the times you get to do the same. (WOW, am I writing for Halmark now?)

The Nordic Man

PS: If the Posse needs any tickets for the Pack or a hook up to go to any clothing optional resorts, I know just the person. He he Scratch that. I meant really cool, relaxing resort locations in Florida.

Remember, acquaintances will bail you out of jail, but friends can't. (Because they are already there with you!)

PSS: Get back to work you bum!

Nice work Nordic Man. There was a lot in there. There was some great words of wisdom, some great memories, and clothing optional resorts? I do not think that you and I need to be attending any of those any time too soon. I am not sure if I am ready to move to that level in our relationship.

So there you have it, Entourage member number two. The Nordic Man. So we have Shawn Hauser and the Nordic Man in. Both live in the promised land. Will there be more from there? I guess you will have to wait around and find out.

NEXT: Okay, the Packers have beaten the BearsstillSuck, and the Rams. They had a bad week and lost to the Bengals. Oh and check the dude in the pic to the right lobbing the bird when Ocho Dicko jumped into the stands. Packer fan of the year as far as I am concerned.

On the other end of the NFC North, the viqueens have gone 3-0. Yup the moron queen fans are already engraving the trophy. Don't get ahead of yourself, queen fan. You beat the Browns, Lions, and the 49'rs. They had a combined record of 11-37 last year. Big deal. Beat a team that had a winning record then call me.

As for this weekend, you will face your first real test in the Green Bay Packers. Although here is another team that had a losing record last year. 6-10. Nothing to write home about, but most of the prognosticators on week one were picking the Pack to make the Super Bowl. I have placed my bet with vegas with 20-1 odds. I am already spending that money.

Speaking of bets, I will be making my yearly bets with queen nation. Scotty Dahl for Leinies, Gene Principe for dinner, and Shane T Keller for whatever I can get out of him. Losers everyone of them. Screw the queens and Brett Favre.

Packers 24, queens 7. Favre a broken leg.

Oh and if for some god awful reason the queens do prevail I have a message to Ted Thompson...

Dear Ted,

Hey jerk off. Now you have done it. You just had to be a dick and push number four out. You had to do it 'your way' which means drafting losers like Harrell in the first round. By the way, when will he come off the injured list, next year? You suck. How is that offensive line coming? Yes I agree it is OFFENSIVE. Try to protect your quarterback jackass. Don't even get me started on your bonehead move of releasing Jon Ryan, the best punter in the league. We are still paying for that move.

You just had to do it didn't you? Brett asks you to make a play for Moss. You ignore him. Brett says he wants to compete for the job in Green Bay, you say 'We have moved on." He shows up for camp and you bar him from practice. You trade him to the Jets and he makes you look stupid. He has a better record than your team. Just to make sure that you are king dick you put a clause in there that says he cannot be traded to the viqueens. Well I guess that worked didn't it. Dick.

Just to let you know that if your team loses to Brett's team this week and in November your days are numbered. Dick. If I have to I will drive down there myself and demand your resignation. You are an embarrassment to the Packer Organization. Ron Wolf would have NEVER let this happen on his watch. NEVER.

Ted, you dick, make it right. Make us forget about Number 4. Win these two games against the queens and you may get another year to screw with MY team. Lose these two games and I will be down there to collect on the bets I lost. You will pay, TED, you dick, you will pay.

We did have a TT nation member at his first preseason game. Shannon Just went and filed this report...


Here Favre is trying to decide if he will join in on a Viking pre-game huddle. I think he thought about going over to the Chiefs huddle for a moment then changed his mind. He's blurry and confused in this photo.





So my brother and I get to the game and these girls ask us to take a photo with them in a dark corridor.?





Thank you Shannon for that report. Hope you did not have fun. Well I hope it does not take me another month and a half to make the next announcement. So there you have it..now
GET BACK TO WORK!!!
