The Return of Greg Packer
Our favorite pudgy, ubiqutous, quote machine maintenance man from Long Island is at it again. This time, as a grieving Jets fan Saturday in a New York bar (courtesy of UPN-9, known to the 30+ set as WOR). "He should have made those two kicks. Well, at least one of two," he moaned of the Jets' place kicker, Doug Brien. "It's horrible."
All this despite a quote-ban from the Associated Press (scroll down).
Other recent Packer action:

Other recent Packer action:
- August 29, 2004, Cox News Service, acting as contrarian during the massive anti-GOP protest in New York ("Greg Packer, 40, of Huntington, on Long Island, is a Republican who marched with a sign offering to volunteer for the GOP convention.'I signed up, but they didn't pick me,' he said. 'They don't even have to pay me.')
- July 30, 2004 in a New York Post brief about people waiting in line for "Apprentice" tryouts (a favorite Packer past-time).
- June 23, 2004, in a Toronto Star article on people buying Bill Clinton's book (yup, first in line, again)
- March 6, 2004, weighing in on the Martha Stewart verdict ("She's no different than anyone else, and everything points to it - she's guilty.")
