This will be my 10th post since starting this enterprise and to celebrate this event you get lucky. Every 10th post will be a hodgepodge of interesting (hopefully) little tidbits of stories around (and sometimes very far around) and about the Green Bay Packers.
So to begin what from now on will be called "From the Sublime to the Ridiculous" is a story about a couple who bought a genuine Vince Lombardi sweater at a thrift shop for $.58. I would call that sublime.

The Sublime |
It seems a man named Sean McEvoy from North Carolina was watching a documentary on Vince Lombardi when he noticed Coach Lombardi was wearing a sweater that looked like one they had purchased from a local thrift shop. The wife remembered a name tag and it turned out it was that sweater and it was appraised at $20,000. The only decision they have to make is to sell it on ebay or donate it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Why can't I be that lucky? I can tell you I don't buy clothes at thrift shops. Maybe I should begin to? But maybe not I'm not that lucky.
