eBay Packers

A Green Bay Packers fan is trying to get to the Super Bowl by auctioning off the “Grace of His Presence”. So far, no one has bid on the man because they have no interest in paying for him to go to the game. His eBay ad reads:

"I am a poor college student and I have been waiting for my beloved Packers to make it back to the Super Bowl since I was 8 years old. Being from the Dallas area, I have to find a way to get to this game. During the 2007 NFC Championship Game, my heart was broken into pieces following Brent (whoops. Brett.) Favre’s final pass as a Green Bay Packer that sent the NY Giants to the Super Bowl. All of this was erased this postseason as the Packers made it back to the big dance!

So, make a dream come true, and remember... I am a small skinny white kid, I don't take up much space. I am trying to diet to minimize the space I take up in effort to get ready for the big game! That's right. Up for auction is an opportunity for you - rich suite holder - to be graced with the presence of me, myself, and I. If you're a nice person then I might even pay you! Bid now and FREE SHIPPING with this auction!"

I do IF...

If the Bears win on Sunday, a Chicago man wants to get married at the Super Bowl. He is advertising for a bride on Craigslist. His ad reads:


"I want to get married on Super Bowl Sunday. You read that right females of Chicago! I want to get married in Arlington Texas as the Bears lift up the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl Triumph. I think I can get tickets and a flight/ road trip. I think I can afford a tux and the wedding/reception can be in the stadium. Think about how romantic it can be! It is not everyday DA BEars win the Super Bowl! And it is not everyday we would get married (When I fall in love it will be forever.) I can ask the stadium director to play the Super Bowl Shuffle as you enter the stadium in your white gown. After we say our vows and exchange rings we can kiss as Bear down Chicago Bears blares on the speakers.

Don't you love the idea???? All I need now is a bride. That should be easy. Must love football, dogs, music, and food. Also must love the Bears. (Packer fans need not apply.) Also must be willing to get married in less than a month... Time is a wasting!"
