OK, this is getting ridiculous
Wonder what the folks at Campbell's Chunky Soup think about the Click for Cans contest now. Wonder whether they might like someone else to win for a change.
The Packers have won the online voting in each of the last five years -- ensuring lots of free cans of soup for Wisconsin food pantries -- and are running away with this year's voting.
It's nice to help those in need, but come on, Packers fans. Aren't you getting a wee bit obsessive about it all?
Tuesday was the day when one click for the Packers was worth 10 votes. They started the day with more than 735,000 votes. As the day wound to a close, they had more than 1 million votes. That's more than the Packers had last year in winning the Click for Cans contest.
Early Tuesday, the second-place Indianapolis Colts trailed the Packers by almost 400,000 votes. Now the Colts trail by almost 650,000 votes.
And there's still six weeks of voting left. The contest ends Dec. 15.
Vote here. Check the standings here.
You can vote once a day, and you can play "Kick for Cans," an online game at the voting site, to earn more votes for the team of your choice. We've heard of occasional problems in entering a vote. Be sure you enter the code correctly when you verify your vote.
The NFL team with the most clicks will earn donations of that brand of soup to food banks of the team's choice. Campbell will donate one can for each pound of the winning team's total weight.

I do know it feels like "piling on" but I have 2 thoughts:
1) They added the "Most Improved" team also getting food since the Packers win each year, and,
2) Want to show Campbells (and those voting) who really is "America's Team".

Packers are really America's team and even overseas they recognize us even if they don't understand American style football.
Every Sunday is green and gold day, no matter the location including last month during three Sundays in Scotland. While in Inverness, Scotland I wore my Brett Farve jersey and you can't believe the number of people, mostly Scots who came up to me wanting to know what kind of season Brett Farve and the Packers were having. Who would have thunk it in the land of soccer and rugby?
The Green and Gold is a world team.

Packer fans (and wisconsin/greenbay members) should be proud that they are willing to take time out of their day to try to earn food for the less fortunate...no one (on the packers side) should be complaining, im sure the less fortunate are very happy that everyone is willing to try to earn food for them...maybe if some of the other teams fans were more willing to take time out of there day to earn food for the pople in their state they could be ahead of the packers but i live in wisconisin and am a packers fan AND I WANT THE PACKERS TO WIN!!!!!
