Meet one of the newest Packers fans

Earlier this month, we shared the story of the boy who'll be raised a Packers fan because Dad -- a Broncos fan -- lost a bet.

Now we have visual proof.


Meet James, the Packers fan. He's being held by Scott, his dad, the Broncos fan from Colorado. James' mom, Kristin, who grew up a Packers fan in Stevens Point, moved to Colorado after she met Scott.

When the Packers beat the Broncos on Oct. 29, Scott lost a bet with Kristin's brother, Erik, and agreed to raise James -- who didn't arrive until later that week -- as a Packers fan. Had the Packers lost that game, James would have been raised a Broncos fan.

Aunt Katie, who also lives in Stevens Point, says Scott and Kristin "are settling into life as new parents and at least Kristin and James are enjoying the Packers' run this year."


Here's one more picture, with James wearing the cheesehead that Grandma and Grandpa brought for him from Stevens Point.
