Vote early, vote often
The Packers would like you to have your say on several matters of interest.
First, the Pro Bowl. Voting is under way for the NFC team. Of course, the Packers would like you to vote for the Packers. As always, that is your call. Click here to cast your votes.
Second, the Packers Fan Hall of Fame. Monday is the deadline to nominate fans for this year's honor. You must write an essay of 500 words or less about your nominee and submit a photo of the nominee. The Packers will pick the 10 finalists. Online voting will determine the winner. Click here for information.
(And, no, we will not capitalize the word "fan," as the Packers do for no apparent reason.)
Third, the Click for Cans contest. We can't say it any better than Patti Pedretti of Algonquin, Ill., who e-mailed us today to say:
"I was at Chunky.com this morning to vote for the Packers. Since we are playing the Colts this coming Sunday, I glanced at their total votes -- 30,031! While we beat the Seahawks on the field and in the soup competition this week, we are currently only at 18,065. Could you please put a blurb in your paper regarding how we need to do better this week to stay undefeated? You should check out some of the other team totals for the week as well - Bills, Steelers and Titans. Packer fans are getting a little lazy!"
Click here to vote. Click here to see the standings. Click here to read the contest rules.
The Packers have won the contest for six years running -- thanks largely to Packers fans stuffing the ballot box -- so Campbell's Soup changed the format this year. The winning team gets a donation of soup for food pantries.
