I didn&#8217;t rock it, as I&#8217;ve only been a zealous Packer fan for a decade now.  I got a lot right where the answer was Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Brett Favre, or Greg Jennings.  I even got some from the 1960s right (I credit <em><a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/05\/book-report-run-to-daylight-by-vince-lombardi-1963\/\" target=\"_blank\">Run to Daylight<\/a><\/em> and <em>Instant Replay<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>But overall, I should have watched the DVDs first.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun bit of a party game for your next Super Semispherical Vessel Party.  Hopefully next year, when it might be a meaningful game if the Packers are in it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Books mentioned in this review:<\/b><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=stlbrianj-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=1613200080&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mother-in-law got me this book for Christmas.
