My Official Green Bay Packer Blog

“I’ve never felt this way before.”

“Except of course for the last time I felt this way.  But this time it’s special, babe.”

Just like I told that little hottie at the bar before I showed her my magnums, Brett Favre is pretty sure he’s never felt this way before.  “This is the best team I’ve ever been on” said Favre at the St. Louis post-game presser, after throwing one touchdown and one pick against the winless Rams.

This comes just two short years after Favre was quoted as saying the very same thing about his Green Bay Packers.  And thirteen years after the team that won the Superbowl.

The team that had Desmond Howard returning kicks.  You know, the year he won the Superbowl MVP.

And Robert Brooks, Antonio Freeman, Andre Rison, Mark Chmura, Keith Jackson and Don Beebe catching passes.

The one with Reggie White, that guy who once had 21 sacks in one season.  Pretty sure Jared Allen hasn’t touched that one yet.  And Gilbert Brown.  Santana Dotson.  LeRoy Butler.  Sean Jones.

Minnesota - you’re sounding a lot like Joni Mitchell lately.  But remember - Brett Favre is a rambler and a gambler and a sweet talkin’ football man.  He’ll be tellin’ his next team that there’s never been anybody like them, too.

That’s what LeRoy Butler bleeds.

I was driving in this morning to get my mug shot taken for my driver’s license (woot!  still legal for me to drive!)  and caught LeRoy Butler’s interview with Napoleon. I think it’s safe to say that if LeRoy could strap ‘em up again, he’d love a shot at a blind side blitz on that turncoat.

Some of the better Butler quotes:

“If my only choice was to retire or go play for one more year with the Vikings, I’d probably retire.”

When asked what he thought Brett Favre thought about the fans of Green Bay and his legacy here: “I don’t think he cares. He’s said that his legacy is his, and I don’t think he cares about what the fans think. I mean some people put Brett Favre above their pets, their job, their friends. And then he goes and does this?”

“They’re even having what they call a ‘Favre-a-que‘ at 1250 am, where people are going to bring their Brett Favre stuff and burn it.  That’s how much the fans are mad at Brett.”

LeRoy, why didn’t God clone you about 53 times?

As I heard sports talk radio tell me about the upcoming sit-down between Brett Favre and Vikings coach Brad Childress to discuss Brett’s second unretirement, a million thoughts were swirling through my head, which is about a million more than usual, so of course I had to sit down before I passed out.

I’m angry.  I’m frustrated.  I feel a little sad that Brett really is the dumb football jock I suspected he was, with an emotional IQ of a kitty cat.

But I really should thank Brett.  I’m about 100% certain that traffic to this little blog is going to double in the coming weeks, and it’s all because of number 4.  The further he takes this insane personal vendetta, the better it is for me.  And all Packer bloggers, really.  In thespian circles Favre has become the southern white bread version of Terrell Owens.  Or Meryl Streep.  High school drama teachers across America are instructing their students to watch ESPN so they can catch one of the modern masters as he tries to make the most of the twilight of his career.

And when Favre can draw crowds to Packer blogs?  That’s a good thing.

So thank you, Brett Favre, for building inroads to becoming the newest export to Minnesota.

But don’t think I’m not going to crush you for it, Brett.  Consider this post #1 in a series of several about your nearly certain move to the Vikings.
