Hey Brett-GO TO BED!!

I feel strange writing about Brett Favre. I have not wanted to really ever write about sports, save the for brilliance of Bobby Bowden or the metaphysical brilliance of Roy Jones, Jr., but I have had enough. I have had enough of this constant onslaught of this man and his never-ending string of manipulation at the expense of the people of this great state. Just a few months ago, I stood in County Market, and I cried. At 37, I cried as we all listened to the press conference played over the PA. Grown men …

Pack One has been doing a phenomenal job keeping Packers fans abreast of all the off-season happenings with the green and gold.  If you’re a fan at all, do yourself a favor and check out his Packer News blog.  That being said, my intent here is to beat the dead horse that is, the retirement of Brett Favre.

My friend Sullie is probably taking the afternoon off from work, and lying in his bed in the fetal position with snot bubbles peppering his pillow.

My thoughts on this are twofold. First of all, I do not like much about professional football. I spent too much time watching athletes shoot their mouths off, and under-deliver week …

What A Game!

This has been a pretty special year so far, being a Packer Fan. On Tuesday, virtually everyone I came into contact with looked tired, with dark circles under their eyes. As we’re engaged in meetings or other conversations, there’s very little that needs to be said about our exhaustion. We were all up late watching our beloved Packers pull it out in OT, watching Brett Favre tease us with the greatness he displays periodically.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve always been an over-the-top Packer Fan. Ask anyone and they will tell you about my …
