Why do I love sports? It all traces back to Mickey and the Packers
What was the moment or reason we fell in love with sports?
This is Paste BN Sports columnist Nancy Armour's story:
I didn’t fall in love with sports because of a specific game or player or team. I fell in love with them because of the guy who got me hooked. As far back as I can remember, I watched Packers games with my Dad, Mickey. Every Sunday, without fail. My Dad would stretch out on the living room or basement floor in front of the TV and I’d flop down beside him. The team was godawful when I was a kid, with losing records in eight out of 10 seasons at one point, but still we watched. It’s those Packers games that turned me into who I am and for that I have my Dad to thank. (Read more of Nancy's story here.)
