Download Life After Favre: The Green Bay Packers and Their Fans Usher In the Aaron Rodgers Era AudioBook Free

Wisconsin native Phil Hanrahan changed from Los Angeles to Green Bay to chronicle the Packers 2008 soccer advertising campaign, the first season in 17 years without quarterback Brett Favre. He's there as new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers commences what one soccer copy writer called "the toughest job in professional sports". Immersing himself in the worlds of team and town, Hanrahan is reborn a full-blown cheesehead: living above Vince Lombardi's first Packers office, observing training camp routines, attending the team's twelve-monthly shareholders getting together with, interviewing players, tailgating in arctic frigid, shoveling snow at Lambeau for $8 an hour, celebrating Packer great Fuzzy Thurston's 75th birthday at Thurston's bar, and, at every switch, befriending results of die-hard Packers enthusiasts he encounters along the way. Hanrahan also journeys definately not Lambeau as well, reaching away video games in New Orleans and Minneapolis and seeking adventures in Packer Land nation-wide, from a year-round Packers bar in Scottsdale, Arizona, to wide receiver Jordy Nelson's parents' athletics bar in rural Kansas, to very small Napoleonville, Louisiana, hometown of cornerback Tramon Williams. Here is the first publication written on the new-era Packers, the team of Rodgers, Instructor Mike McCarthy, GM Ted Thompson. Having a new afterword that brings the Packers history up-to-date and covers their amazing triumph in Super Dish XLV, Life After Favre chronicles one of the most dramatic seasons in Packers history while disclosing, with energy, perception, and humor, the story of the NFL's winningest franchise.
