Green Bay Packers Stock Buyback Scheme Nets Owners 3.5K Pounds Of Additional Extra Sharp Cheddar

In an effort to improve their financial statements and reduce the amount of cheddar on hand, the Green Bay Packers Board of Directors issued a stock buyback to net each of their 360,000+ owners an additional 3,500 pounds of extra sharp Wisconsin cheddar. Instead of receiving their usual dividend payment of 200-600 bricks of muenster, the team used its surplus of Extra Sharp Cheddar (ESC) to reward Green Bay locals.

“Due to the NFL’s revenue sharing, we earned the same profits as every other team. But, per usual, the league honors ownership’s request to be paid in big stinky cheddar,” Packers chairperson Mark Murphy told reporters regarding the nature of the acres of frozen land dedicated to ESC storage. “We figured we could keep housing over 1.5 trillion pounds of Green Bay gold or move some chedda’ off the books before it gets moldy.”

Murphy’s stance is that a team should run like a good beer cheese soup: “You can’t just have cheddar in your portfolio. You also need a healthy revenue stream of beer, an efficient cream cheese department, and a big soft pretzel or else the whole thing falls apart.” 

By reducing the organization’s total cheddar and dispensing it in pre-packaged blocks instead of shredded tender, cap space is freed up for new cultures and more melty bonus structures. Sources project the strategy to age well and net employees a further 5-10% merit increase in fried take-home curds.
