Brett Favre

Green Bay, Wisconsin, aka Titletown, USA. Land of Lombardi, start of a Legend (Brett Favre) and home of brats, burgers, cheese and beer. I've done three half marathons (1 in Madison, 1 in Green Bay, and 1 in Appleton). I loved Madison because of the college memories but last year they had a lot of complaints because of the course and lack of porta potties (interestingly, a key thing on runs). Green Bay was awesome because it started and ended near Lambeau; the start was outside on a street and you finished by running out the player's tunnel and onto the field for 1 lap. If you think of all the things that have happened and all the people that have touched the field.. its a surreal feeling. I almost floated around the field, on top of the world. I guess it's part of the sreason it was my best run, huh?

Boy, this Brett Favre character really knows how to play with a man's heart.  He's there, he's not, he's back, he's not, he's done for good.. PSYCH!  He really isn't done, NOT!  He is done!  Today is opposite day, he's back!  This is a legendary performance and my man, Brett, hasn't even taken the field yet.  I'm so psyched; my friend called me that day.. and all I could think was they're baaaa-ack.  Except instead of zombies, it was DB's screaming.

Well, that's disappointing.  I've gotten a few Packers fans all riled up with my Favre and Away post and now he's staying retired.. OR so he says.  Muuuahahah.  I hope this isn't over, I can't get enough of this story.. it's so much better than the Michael Jackson coverage.  Brett has done more, and if you don't think so.. you're wrong.  Michael Jackson doesn't have a prayer after him I bet.. Brett does.  It's no big deal, that's just who he is and why he will be missed.

ry edition of Sportscenter called "The Favre Watch," which chronicles the ins and outs of Brett Favre's possible return to the NFL.  In Wisconsin, the fans don't even need ESPN because whether they are out camping or on the golf course having a few beers the Favre story finds them.  Inevitably, it throws off their golf game as they miss an easy putt or break their wedge in the sand and somehow it's Favre's fault.  And you know what?  I am sick and tired of all of this "Brett is losing a fan here" talk because

s a lot of it upon himself by acting like such an attention whore a social butterfly.

1. Brett Favre (NYJ)—First, it was the retirement/unretirement story. Then it was the big trade/ugly departure headline. Next, it was the Rodgers/Favre season comparison. Subsequently, it was the Romo/Favre injury conversation. Finally, it was the Millen/Favre controversy. Now, it’s the Favre turnover complaint. Is anyone else tired of this?

y is absent from the starting Patriots.  I can put this to bed with one simple statement: even Brett Favre said that this is a hasty call to make.  If the starting quarterback for the team (who just happens to be an NFL legend) says that there is a lot to accomplish before the Jets become the team to beat in the AFC East, it might as well come from God himself.  Let's look at things from a different angle.  In week one, the Jets won and began their season on a good note.  Do not be fooled by this though, as the Jets beat the worst team in the AFC East and perhaps the entire conference in the Miami Dolphins.  Before you say it Dolphin's fans, I know you've made some good steps forward from last season, but when you go 1-15 is there really anywhere to go but up?  The bottom line is, the Jets narrowly beat a broken team for their first win.  I will admit that the Favre-Cotchery connection looked good for a long touchdown and a potential season long deep threat, but I still see a lot of weakness on a team that edged out Miami.  Do not get too excited too early Jets fans, this one is not yours just yet.
