The war between Wisconsin and Washington in advance of the NFC Championship between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks has grown serious. Earlier this week, a city in Washington banned the use of cheese, and now, a radio station in Wisconsin has banned any Seattle-based music acts from its airwaves.
"Beginning Wednesday morning at 12 a.m. CT, the station's listeners will hear no Heart, no Nirvana, no Pearl Jam, no songs from any band that calls Seattle home," read a statement from 94.5 The Lake in Milwaukee.
"Let's face it. The last couple Green Bay Packers games in Seattle haven't been the best for cheesehead fans," the station said. "So, to help change the karma and give the Packers all the support they need for Sunday's big title game, 94.5 The Lake has chosen to 'Say No to Seattle.'" The station will ban Nirvana, Pearl Jam (pictured), Jimi Hendrix, Soundgarden, Heart, and any other band with a connection to Seattle, which, you know, pretty much rules out any rock music that came out between "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Seven Nation Army."
All apologies, Green Bay fans, but unless the Packers are able to maintain an even flow, they're going to be outshined on Sunday, and the experienced Seattle will have no problem putting Green Bay in the rear-view mirror. And given the superunknown — quarterback Aaron Rodgers' health questions — if the Packers' O-line can't grind out 60 minutes of protection for the man in the box, Green Bay fans will need lithium to deal with the pain.
