From what I can tell, there isn’t too much new to report on the Global Authentication front. I just checked its website and it still doesn’t work … Last thing I heard, they still are supposedly going to be fine and up and running soon, but the clock is ticking.

The California-based card, pack and autograph authentication company better show some signs of life this week, or else its credibility might dwindle away to nothing.

Kind of off-topic, but I thought I would mention it – I was at the Packers/Vikings game yesterday at Lambeau and I had the misfortune of sitting behind a couple of intoxicated Vikings fans. Now, I am all for having a couple beverages at professional sporting events, but I also like to remember the game.

I usually save the heavy partying for after the game.

Anyway, these guys were so out of control that I told my friend that I didn’t think they would make it until the end of the second quarter. Well, one of the beligerant Viking fans proved me right and got thrown out in the middle of the first quarter for fighting.

I just can’t understand how fighting and watching a professional sporting event mixes for some people.
Turns out that this guy was on a bus trip from Minnesota and probably spent a few hundred bucks on the trip. Well, his trip probably got a lot more pricey after the fine and he didn’t even get to see his team get clobbered by the Pack… He got what he deserved though. There is no place for that crap.
