Keeping the faith with Greg Jennings

Greg Jennings' dad is a pastor and his mom is a church secretary. Greg Jennings lists going to church as one of his favorite past-times and he attends regularly with his wife and children. Though it seems like a weird place to have a celebrity sighting, you never know which Green Bay Packers player could be sitting the pew behind you. Just another reason to go to church, right? At least you can make it home in time for a noon kickoff.

James Jones and Tamika Jones baby bump alert!

James Jones, Green Bay Packers wide receiver, and his wife Tamika are one of the nicest couples you could imagine. Tamika is at every home Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field, cheering on her husband. I've heard rumors, though, that their brood might be expanding. James Jones has mentioned he would love to have some kids someday. And recently Tamika was spotted buying some baby outfits. Could they be for a future little Jones?

Celebrity Sighting: John Kuhn

The city of York, Pennsylvania is where Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn lives year-round. Well, I have a friend who lives in the nearby Villa Green neighborhood. She was out getting coffee this summer in a local bistro, when out of the blue came John Kuhn in to buy a drink. He looked pretty much like this, minus the sweat and jersey.

She said he was wearing a blue polo, khaki shorts and flip flops. Fortunately, she is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan and even though he didn't see lots of playing time, she was familiar with his face from occasional TV shots and his Steelers bio online. I'm not sure how much recognition he receives out on the east coast, so she said he seemed pleasantly surprised when she told him she was a fan. She had to leave quickly, but it made her day to see him in person--and it made mine to hear all about it!

I reminded her that John Kuhn is single, and according to pictures he's pretty cute. She said he is...but that old engagement ring on her finger is a pretty big barrier to any romantic involvement!

Green Bay Packers fans are lucky to call John Kuhn one of our own and though we probably won't bump into him at a coffee shop, we can get as close to the sidelines as we want by picking up our Green Bay Packers tickets any time.

Ruvell Martin rides a bike

The Green Bay Packers rode into training camp on August 4 this year and I noticed how happy Ruvell Martin was about this situation.


Not.

Ruvell Martin seemed uncomfortable while he pedaled the machine through barricades lined with overeager Green Bay Packers fans. (Sidenote: Did they need Green Bay Packers tickets to this event? Or was it free?) One of my coworker's friends attended the event and said Ruvell Martin was particularly annoyed because his bike wasn't green and yellow.

I jest.

But I think I would also be annoyed if on my first day of work I was forced into the bright morning sun and ordered to ride a bike which felt a little small as fans shouted at me and thrust Sharpies and paraphernalia in my face. I can only manage my drive in if I have a coffee in hand and some soothing Kenny G on the radio.

Maybe if Ruvell Martin's biggest fans--wife and two children--showed up he might have had a better go of it. I think Ruvell Martin might just be happiest on his own two feet, racing down Lambeau Field instead of pedaling around outside on a smidge-too-small bike.

Greg Jennings Celebrity Sighting

When Greg Jennings stopped by a local Green Bay auto dealership, he created quite a stir! Yes, he was enough to put on the dealer's white button up and shirt and pose in the indoor display room but behind the scenes, texts and emails were flying as employees bragged to their friends than legendary the Green Bay Packers wide receiver was in the hiz-ouse.

Greg Jennings makes his home in De Pere, Wisconsin, just 7 miles outside of Green Bay. He can be seen hanging out with his lovely wife Nicole and his two baby girls, Amya and Alea.

The Green Bay Packers may give Greg Jennings a career, but his church gives spiritual support. Greg's dad was a preacher so Greg Jennings grew up in the church and still attends regularly. If you'd like to see him, he's one Green Bay Packers player who is out and about frequently beyond the walls of Lambeau Field. Whether he's at the coffee shop, dealership, or church, Greg Jennings is one player you'll have a good chance of visiting if you're hanging around De Pere.

Family Guy Chad Clifton

Meet the Cliftons. First up is dad, Chad Clifton.


You may know him on Lambeau Field as an offensive tackle player for the Green Bay Packers, but to his kids, he's just dad. Chad is married to Candy.

I think this is her, but no big promises. Candy is a lawyer who passed the bar in 2003. The couple have two ADORABLE little boys with equally cute "C" names: Corbin and Cruz. Classy cool! Green Bay, Wisconsin has been home to the Clifton family since Chad Clifton was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2000. The family also spends a significant amount of time back in Chad Clifton's hometown in Tennessee. In his free time, Chad Clifton is way into hunting, remodeling, fishing, and snowmobiling. He's a real All-American guy in a real All-American family. Next time you head over to Lambeau Field, scan the stands for any sight of Chad Clifton's family. I hear they go to every home game to cheer on their family guy!

But I think Chad Clifton is a bit better suited for a spot on the Green Bay Packers roster than Peter Griffin...

Spencer Havner as Brody Jenner's Doppleganger?

Green Bay Packers linebacker Spencer Havner caught my eye the other day. I completely mistook him for Brody Jenner of The Hills and Bromance! They were both born in 1983, like a day's worth of stubble, and choose sunglasses + black tee shirts for time out on the town.

Don't just take my word for it. Take a look at exhibit A and B and tell me who's who.



I'm convinced that that Green Bay Packers could suit up Brody Jenner and put him out on Lambeau Field (the sidelines of course!) and no one would be able to tell the difference. Even loyal Green Bay Packers ticketholders could be fooled.

Maybe if Spencer Havner tires of a pro career, he can work as a celebrity impersonator for Brody Jenner. Why not?

Celebrity Sighting: JaRon Harris

So a friend of mine lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Picture lots of flat land, some dust, a cricket chirping in the background and you've got the place nailed.

Just kidding.

Sioux Falls has a pretty good shopping and dining scene, and one more thing it has is Green Bay Packers wide receiver JaRon Harris! Turns out JaRon Harris was born and raised in Sioux Falls and he still lives there today with his lovely wife, Desiree:

My friend sighted them in a grocery story in Sioux Falls a few months back and excitedly called me to report this event. She knows how big of a Green Bay Packers fan I am! For her, JaRon Harris is a member of the Sioux Falls community. For me, JaRon Harris is ONLY part of the Lambeau Field community which I also belong to! I get my Green Bay Packers tickets as early as possible and count down the days until the official season begins.

But, in the offseason, I can always rely on my supersleuth friend to clue me in on what JaRon Harris is up to when he's not in Green Bay. If only I had friends in every city to scout the Green Bay Packers roster guy by guy...then I'd be on top of things!
