Name: Marcus Rovere
City: Porto Alegre – Rio Grande do Sul
Twitter: @PackersBR
Team: Green Bay Packers
Best player for you: Aaron Rodgers
An unforgettable game: Super Bowl XLV (Packers 31 x 25 Steelers)
How do you fell in love with NFL? Why did you start rooting for your team?
I’m a cliché as anyone else, although a lot of people don’t admit it. I started to watch NFL’s matches on season 2007 precisely the Superbowl on February 2008. The reason was Tom Brady because he is married with Gisele Bundchen who is gaucha (the person who live in Porto Alegre is called gaucha for women or gaucho for men). Since then, I tried to understand the games and got to know the teams as well. The reason which make me root for Packers is because they are the team of the city of Green Bay, a kind of PEOPLE’S CLUB. Here in Porto Alegre, I cheer for Internacional (a soccer team) and they are the same. For this, I cheer for Packers.
Do you know some team in your city? Do you cheer for them?
In Porto Alegre, we have two teams one is called Bulls and the other Pumpkins. I root for both because some friends of mine are playing in both teams. Also, we have the Gladiators, a team from a city called Caxias do Sul which have another friends of mine. So, I root for all them.
When you sign up your Twitter account and what was the reason? Did you get a lot of followers? Have you already met with fans from your team?
When I did PackersBR on Twitter, I wanted to get to know more fans of team. I started to tweet everything about the game and it was boring because most of people didn’t know what I mean. When I did, I got a lot of follower even people who root for other teams, and it was great for me. Nowadays, I have almost 3000 followers and I have a good interaction with everybody
Do you think that football can gain visibility here in Brazil? Can you see it now or it is distant future?
Nowadays, the NFL already hás a loto f viewers in Brazil. There’s a lot of people interested on sport and also getting to know it better. But it will never be so popular that will be broadcasted in regular TV channels. The football is different and complicated, I dont know how much more the NFL can increase here. I dont see the football getting more popular than it already is today.
What things on your team impress you?
I’m impressed with Aaron Rodgers. He guides the team so easily and Lacy (RB) arrived on team and brought his potential. Now, the power of Packer’s Offense is more fascinating.
Can you see your team making the playoffs?
The possibility was huge until Aaron Rodgers got hurt and the when and didn’t play the next four games which were losses, our chances decreased. But with Rodgers, we have will always a chance every year.
Make a comment about you’ve been seen this season. In your opinion, which teams are going to do everything to make the playoffs and what don’t have any chance?
This season the teams who will participate on playoffs are defined. I’m excited to see the battle of teams when it will be near it. The Champion Ravens has some difficulties but seems that they can go to playoffs. The Broncos of Peyton Manning was almost invencible but he is not used to play in cold weather which can brings difficulties on campaign to the Superbowl. The Seahawks are the name of season with only 1 loss, they are candidates of NFC, with Packers almost out of the Playoffs, it will be more confortable to watch the matches. SuperBowl XVLII you may come
