It&#8217;s the Romantics finding their redemption, at least at one level, in a time of tragically damaged rationalist-fed Capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t believe the &#8220;intuitional&#8221; qualities are key for the Packers, just listen to Zen master Aaron Rodgers this season &#8212; his tone, attitude and grateful content. Coach LeFleur, too, exemplifies the stunningly wise humility, amid overwhelming excellence. It temper&#8217;s the swagger they also need to win.<\/p>\n<p>In blighted times, The Packers have sustained my spirit and that of Packer nation worldwide.
