The Packers are apparently playing the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. At least that’s what this newspaper tells us.
The good news is, no one saw this. You know, because it’s in a newspaper.
At least until now, that is. But we don’t know which newspaper it’s in, so there will be no public shaming.
Obviously, the Hawks will be losing to the Indiana Pacers. Not the Green Bay Packers.
It’s funny because tools on Twitter are always making this mistake. They try to tweet something about the Pacers and end up writing Packers instead.
As Larry Bird would say, “awwww shucks.”
When I was a little kid I had an NBA video game and I thought Pacers was pronounced “Packers.” I got super pumped. There was a Packers basketball team! That was until I asked my Grandpa to play and he told me it was pronounced Pacers. All of a sudden I lost all interest in the game and didn’t want to play anymore.
I always accidentally pronounce the first C in “Boston Celtics” like a K. That immediately reveals me for the dorky professor that I am. I still don’t know why that C is pronounced like an S in the team name.
well at least we are the 1st seed, and if I let my mind wander a bit, that’s the (sea)Hawks as the 8 seed.
