$20 pledge ok wit you?

;^)

Can you believe some jerk would turn that story in and call it honest work? I know what this guy looks like, before I've ever seen what he looks like. Michael Moore.

"Brett's teammates adore him. Just watch how motivated they become.

Back to the flawed human being. Despite all of his problems in his personal life, he has held it together. He is married and has two daughters from that marriage. He has been completely sober for years. And, I believe he truly loved his father. The Monday nite game against Oakland was the first game his father was not in attendance since Brett was in 5th grade. Brett revered him. Now he is grieving and the author mocks it.

What do the missteps of Brett's siblings have to do with winning or losing a football game? I wish the author would explain that. Or a fun time on the golf course?

I hope the Packers win on Sunday. In any event, I will take the Packers, the city of Green Bay and Packer fans over anything Philadelphia. Such an ugly lack of class in the City of Brotherly Love."

Excellant post Lando. Well stated. Thanks.
BTW, please put me on your Bill Whittle ping list, if I'm not already.

Philly is a cool city, but I've never watched a game (on TV) in the old Vet that gave me the vibe of Denver, KC or Green Bay.

It just seems they're there to hate. Opponent, home team, whatever.

Them Packers are coming to Philly for the thrashing they deserve.

There must be something in the water there. In the past two days, I've read two of these low-rent pieces from the same site. I have worked in pro sports and I generally don't get into the trash-talking, but I hope the Packers kick your asses to the next continent on Sunday. If there is a God, and I strongly believe there is, they will.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

They ought to make this trash required reading for every Packer prior to Sunday's game.

[Fledermaus]

I think these were the classless jerk sports journalists Rush was talking about on ESPN.

I know FR doesn't like this kind of comment but: I pray I see Don Russell nose to nose some day. He's a scumbag. I'll do a Freeper Action report after I'm bailed out.

I'll bring the beer....and a $20.

I've always thought a man's family should be off limits.

[ArneFufkin]

Hard to believe, but I've been disseminating it to my Packer lifeline!

There's some profane smackdowns, insults and threats of violence against this writer coming back!!! That's just from the women! ;^)

The reality is ... Favre dealt with this stuff in 1997. Six years ago. Y'know? That's the scummy element here. I'm not big on third parties who open old family wounds.

[ArneFufkin]

Dan you have it 100% right. All the stuff this guy is smearing happened in 1994-1997. Brett paid his pennance, believe me. I live in Minneapolis, and I heard thousands of Vicodin references from the blockhead Viking fans.

That should have played itself out six years ago. This assclown writer is just evil.

Y'know what really irks me? Referencing that Scott Favre killed a "family friend". Family Friend??? It was his best friend! Brett's other brother! That's just a horsesh*t smear.

Go Eagles ;>),I 2nd that since I will be up all night,Go Eagles go.

[Kryptonite]

Yessirree.

[fatima]

ArneFufkin,We are lovers.

[ArneFufkin]

Okay, how much money do you want? LOL

That makes two of us (and a lot more, I'll bet). Well stated.

[fatima]

ArneFufkin,We are the city of love-brotherly-sisterly-Kinda reminds me of an old a song-All you need is love,you wanna bet ArneFufkin.

[ArneFufkin]

I'll bet with the "man" tomorrow. If the spread is still 5 1/2 I'm gonna put ... $250-$300 on the Pack!

Just for fun!

[Lancey Howard]

Aw geez, relax.

Fact is, I like the Packers and if the Eagles don't beat the Packers, I hope the Packers go all the way. I like Brett Favre, too. My boss went out to Green Bay a couple of weeks ago to see the Packers crush somebody and he said the stadium and the crowd there were great.

The hype and the trash talk is fun (and usually funny) until it gets truly personal. The Democrat agenda of belittling and destroying traditional America and its families and culture is something I take personally. Heaven help me if I ever take a sporting event contested by multi-millionaire players and owners that seriously.

May I suggest the 'over'?
I really, really like the 'over' (42).

[fatima]

Who is the man-is the spread in favor of the Eagles-We are going to get you ArneFufkin.

[Dan from Michigan]

My career in football is only at the high school level, but I can see how easy (with the mentality and pressure) it is on both ends for someone to get hooked on Vicodin or painkillers. I just magnify most of the injuries by 10 with the speed and strength. I've been lucky in my case(no knees, neck, only minor back, etc). And as painful as something is, missing those games and 'letting the team down' is even more painful.

As a coach, we had to take a player out with an injured neck. He was fighting back tears from the pain(and more likely from possibly missing his first game next week), but he STILL wanted to be out there. He tried to hide it from us, but I overheard the other players telling him to tell one of the coaches so we jumped in there before he got hurt even more and took him to see the trainer.

Any athlete that gets hooked and beats Vicodin or any other painkiller has greatly earned my respect.

As for this writer jerk, he better hope he doesn't have to experience what happened to Scott Favre. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, and it sure wouldn't suprise me to see some retribuation in some form against this jackass.
