QUESTION: What does every good wife and loyal Packer fan do while in Paris?
ANSWER: She finds a bar that's open until 5 a.m. and drags her husband to the Packer game that starts at 2:15 a.m. Paris time!
After a day of French culture, a little American football is good for the soul. Despite a cloudy rainy day, we scouted out a potential place to watch the Packers and visited Le musée des Arts décoratifs located in part of the Louvre and Musée national des Monuments Français at Palais de Chaillot, which made up for Le musée des Arts décoratifs located in part of the Louvre. The Musée national des Monuments Français displayed French buildings, architecture, facades and monumental sculptures from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century in the form of moulds (6000) and life-size reproductions. It was really beautiful and one I had not visited before. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed in either museum.
After a few nap, we got up and made our way to the Highlander located at Pont Neuf on the left bank. It met two qualifications, it was open until 5 a.m. Paris time and subscribed to the Sky satellite sport feed. We ran into a few other Packer and Cowboy fans too. However, we knew the one downside might be that the game would not be over at 5 a.m. So, to the dismay of all American football fans, we found ourselves outside in the damp morning air wondering how to get updates on the last five minutes. Perhaps merciful as my BlackBerry updated me that the final score was 37-27. The only thing that would make this tale more fun is if the Packers would have pulled out a win.
Note to the Packers: much credit should be given to the Packers offensive line over Favre's 16 year career. However, when you let the defense sack and hit your quarterback as many times as they did last night, you're going to get a hurt quarterback.
P.S. Rodgers almost had a Favre-less comeback. But, he's no Favre.
