The rich history of the Green Bay Packers — 12 NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls and Super Bowl Favre — is the Wisconsin hamlet's only claim to fame, a claim the town solidified by adopting the nickname "Titletown, USA" decades ago. According to Wikipedia, "The name appears on the city seal, is used by the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce for its web address (www.titletown.org) and variations of the word appear in the name of more than two dozen local businesses."
Well, too fucking bad, Green Bay. ESPN thought a good way to boost web traffic over the quieter summer months would be to hold a contest to determine the real Titletown, and you lost. To someplace in Georgia called Valdosta.
For years, it’s been called Winnersville. Now, the south Georgia town of Valdosta has another name: TitleTown USA, thanks to ESPN. The cable sports network is coming to Valdosta today to declare Valdosta the winner of its summer promotion that earlier this month featured the city as one of its 20 finalists for the national award.
I've never heard of Valdosta and I could give a shit about Wisconsin, but this might be some of the most presumptuous bullshit ESPN's ever pulled. "Hello, New York? Yeah, you're not the 'Big Apple' any more. Sorry, but we had an Internet vote, so that's that."

Let's get together and have an uproxx internet vote for Tittietown. Then again, let's not.
Yep, Winnersville, USA. Proud to say I played for the Valdosta Wildcats (the winningest high school football program in the country).
Oh, and without football, Valdosta has no other redeeming qualities. Actually, you can use the term "Satan's a*shole" interchangeably with "Winnersville USA" and anyone from South Georgia will know exactly where you're talking about.
South Georgia – All the heat and humidity of Florida, but without those "annoying" beaches. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
Dicklickersville…. THAT'S A GOOD ONE! (with a lisp)
If Winnersville, USA is up for grabs then I want it for my crotch.
DDH,
Sorry, it's taken. But Wienersville, USA is still unclaimed.
Bristol CT: Home OF ESPN and Anal tongue darts since 1979
Valdosta, Georgia has always been more now than Boston, New York, and Chicago.
I think one of my friends had a nasty case of Valdosta on his taint a while ago.
Wait… sports really are all about "voting" and "judged events" ? Thanks ESPN.
Why wasn't Buffalo in the running? Oh…right.
In related news, a vote has been held, and my house is now known as Pussy Castle 6000.
More like Wienersville. Am I right. High fives!
Valdosta, GA… a.k.a. "The place I used to stop for gas on the way to Atlanta from Gainesville"
ooh, ooooh, can we vote to rename ohio "sausagefingersville"
Also, Valdosta may be TitleTown USA, but Tifton, GA is still the Turf Grass Capital of the World. So suck it.
I agree with you, UncleKG. I also agree with Grimey. I went to VSU and while I'm proud of the town for this acknowledgment, there's really no other reason to EVER stop in Valdosta.
What's the city nickname for Bristol, CT? Faggotsville? Fort Fruitcake? Saint Taint Island? Connecticut isn't an island? Bullshit.
however, Baltimore has retained the title of "shit town, usa"
I like Saint Taint Island. Sounds like a very pious place.
Is Jessie Tuggle or Buck Belue accepting the award
/no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about
I do, bobafet. Sadly.
Any word on whether Brett Favre has been in contact with Valdosta High officials yet?
This is a slap in the face to Williamsport, PA.
NFL Titles don't count. You know why? Because Cleveland also claims to have won a few and we all know that that couldn't possibly be true. Sorry Green Bay, you're about as "TitleTown" as I am a fine human being.
"Valdosta, Georgia has always been more now than Boston, New York, and Chicago."
Yes, but that was then. What about now?
ESPN can't choke on it's giant presumptuous ego. And a fat dick.
CAN… geez.
Oh, so hot lady! It was said she just enjoyed hot dating with a black guy on//////==================m ix e d l o v i n g . c o m=======\\\\\\\\\\\\ so many fans show interesting to her hot photos and videos there. Nice to enjoy more details about it…
