Ouch...

I have exited Kinnick Stadium and the Metrodome many times totally defeated after a terrible loss, but I don't think it compares to what Packers fans went through last Sunday after the NFC Championship game. Bill Simmons from ESPN.com gave Packers fans the award for "Most depressed group of fans." Here is what he wrote...

You're a Packers fan. You tailgated in sub-zero weather, watched your team play poorly in the NFC Championship Game in sub-zero weather and somehow make it to OT, had everything set up for another Favre miracle win, and then everything went to hell. Favre blew the game and you're filing out of a freezing-cold Lambeau like sardines and looking at (A) no Super Bowl and (B) a three-hour ride home in minus-4 degree weather. Wow. Now that's a tough loss.
