...hand warmers to a Panthers rooter--and the outrageous, often ironic humor of Packers backers. The Cheesehead is the most obvious example, but at the N.F.C. Conference Game, one could also find guys with sod on their heads calling themselves "the Frozen Tundra"; a dead ringer for legendary linebacker Ray Nitschke, bald head, No. 66 and all; a man with a replica of the Lombardi Trophy given to Super Bowl winners on his head and a sign that read VINCE WANTS IT BACK, and a Cheesehead Barbie doll...
