...extremely pleased to see reggie White and Brett Favre on the cover [SPORT, Jan. 27]. Your story tried to explain the Packer fans' pride in their team and their unique relationship with it, but words cannot express the euphoria of attending a Packers game in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It must be experienced live. The quality of leadership, starting with president Bob Harlan; the respect for one another and the fans; and the ability to focus on one thing throughout the season have brought the Packers to where they are. Wisconsin couldn't be prouder of its team. KIM KRUEGER Milwaukee...
Congratulations to writer Steve Wulf for his insight into Wisconsin humor. The element of "outrageous irony" is often missed by those who do not hail from my home state. The Cheesehead label, for instance, originated as a scornful put-down by tourists. The sponge-plastic cheese hats worn by Packer fans are an example of Wisconsinites' one-upping those who would mock the state. CARL F. HOFFMAN Cleveland Heights, Ohio
...pleasure reading something positive on the Packers and their fans. These guys have fulfilled a dream for Green Bay and all their supporters. They are truly America's team, and have earned this honor by their grace and the way they play ball. The Packers have the respect of their fans and fellow players. I'm proud to be a Packer fan and a Cheesehead too! DEBRA SHORT Portage, Wisconsin...
There isn't a player on the Packer team I wouldn't trust to watch my child. To a man, every Packer is a gentleman. No egos. No flash. No infighting. Mike Holmgren, Ron Wolf and Bob Harlan have been superb. As for the fans, we've been nuts in love for 30 years, and may well be for another 100. CURTIS CAMPBELL Oconto, Wisconsin...
Police spokesperson Peggy A. McNamara said no other harassing phone calls to Penny-packer have been reported to the police this week...
