Unveiling the latest shares of Green Bay Packers stock.

When a company needs to make a little extra money, there’s nothing better for a publicly-traded group to do than to sell stock.  This goes double for the Green Bay Packers, one of the most popular teams in the NFL, the reigning Super Bowl champions, and the only publicly-owned franchise in the league.  The Packers have to pay for some upgrades and updates to Lambeau Field, so the Green Bay Packers have decided to sell 250,000 shares of Packers stock from now until February 29.

“I could have just as well thrown my money out the window for what I get for it, other than a feel-good,” said 34-year-old Sarah Johnson of Portage.  “I just feel like the Packer organization has sort of a nostalgia and an excitement around it other franchises don’t have.  Just to say you’re part of that on some level is neat to me.”

If you are a Packers fan and have $250 to spare, this is a great opportunity to buy a minuscule piece of the team.  Granted, the stock won’t increase in value, it doesn’t pay dividends, and the stock itself is worth only 3 cent, so you’re not getting $250 worth of Green Bay Packers, but this is only the team’s fifth stock sale in history and their first stock sale since 1997.  It won’t allow you to jump ahead of anyone else in Green Bay’s 93,000-person season ticket waiting list, but you’ll get to vote on Packers-related things and attend the annual stockholder meeting at Lambeau Field!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
