I haven't posted a thread in so long I'd probably screw it up.:)

But go ahead if you want.

Here's another goodie:PACKERS' BRETT FAVRE, TRULY A MAN'S MAN

[Lando Lincoln]

ML, you're uncovering some gems!!

Amen, brother. I liked the 6 INT St Louis game as well.

Really, you liked it? Or were you just motivated to come over here and dump some sarcasm on Brett because you're a member of the Lake Mills Optimist Club? Either you're a lousy advocate or a fraud. I know which.

[ArneFufkin]

Your prissy team has never beat the Packers at Lambeau Field. NEVER.

The seven wins in eight games that sustains your hardon were won on your homefield. BS NFL scheduling.

When the Dallas Cowboys haul their carcasses to Green Bay ... they LOSE. Period.

I was a wisp of a lad, but I sure do remember the Packers beating your club ... on YOUR HOME FIELD ... for the NFL Championship in 1966.

Your Boyz don't have the collective ballsacks to do that in Green Bay.

Dallas is the most overrated team (well .. behind the Niners) in NFL history, and their fans (well ... tied with the Niners fans) are the most clueless, humorless and dislikable. Everything went to hell when Phyllis George (aka Syphillis Gorge) proclaimed them "America's Team" in the 70s. There was a maniacal run on barf bags after that absurdity.

Incidentally, the University of Missuoui may have the single worst sports program in Collegiate history. You sure know how to pick 'em.

[Kryptonite]

Great find. I'm expecting Mr. Magoo/Mizzou to spout off next about the trouncing GWB is about to receive at the hands of Howard Mean.

[ArneFufkin]

Nothing jazzes Favre like the opportunity to throw a block on a reverse/broken play.

I don't understand this FR aversion to successful people ... but I'll fight it as my time and energy permit.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Thank you. I was hoping the team would find out about it.

[Senator Pardek]

Girls who like sports make me nervous. But then again, girls make me nervous.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

But then again, girls make me nervous.

I'm not sayin' a word. : )

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

GREAT RANT.

Mebbe he's still mad that Dan Devine left Mizzou to coach the Packers?

[BraveMan]

I admire your stamina . . . ;0)

[BraveMan]

A "Cowboys/Packers mini-flame war, thought you might be interested" ping . . .

[MizzouTigerRepublican]

Now can the love fest with Favre cease after he threw the game losing INT in Phi. Nice work Brett.

[MizzouTigerRepublican]

They are at the same place as Dallas as Brett Favre throws the pick again that does his team in.

[Lando Lincoln]

Those things happen - even to the best. You see, much of this thread was an expression of admiration for the man, Brett Favre, not the football player. That hasn't changed - even with one bad decision and one terrible play. If people don't like him, that's fine - I think even Brett has the grace to accept that.

For your sake, I hope you can find a thread or an outlet where you can express less hostility. Try sitting cross legged, gently pull your ear lobes and say ooosssaaa! I heard it helps, but I really haven't had a need to try.

Seriously, I've been mystified by your participation on this thread. It's like you sought a place to be a jerk. I hope I'm wrong.

"You see, much of this thread was an expression of admiration for the man, Brett Favre, not the football player."

The interesting thing is that if he had been Brett Favre, the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons or Brett Favre, the backhoe operator from Mississippi... you wouldn't care one way or the other. But it is because he is Brett Favre, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, that is why all the cheeseheads have turned this thread into a "Go Pack Go" thread, changing the direction of a well-intended thread.

So, now that your hero crashed and burned, extinguishing the hopes and dreams of cheeseheads everywhere, you feel compelled to lash out at people who are not as impressed with your vision of what a hero and sports legend should be. Now, it may be admirable that Brett has worked hard and is currently successful in pulling himself up from the grips of alcoholism and drugs, but to me, that is not a hero. A hero is a dad who never stooped to that level of depression to start with. I'm not ready to honor a man that has given in to alcohol and drugs until after they honor the man that has stayed clean and sober all his life. Pal, that may play in Wisconsin and the new ESPN/gangsta NFL, but not here.

[Lando Lincoln]

That's fine.

[Lando Lincoln]

I'm amazed at how petty people can be on a sports thread. How important can it be that there is a passive aggression in the tone of people's posts. I don't get it. With all the bigger things we have to worry about, we feel it better to indite, impugn and insult. Incredible. To my FRiends on this thread (you know who you are), I wish your teams and sports heroes well. More importantly, I wish you and your loved ones well. I know that the team that wins the Super Bowl will have imperfect human beings on it. I hope they measure up to the expectations of some of those less accepting souls on this thread. My God, the pettiness.

That's it....Lando is waiting for next season when his flawed, washed up drug addict sports hero will again hope to win it all.

If the Packers don't give up a 4th and 26, Brett Favre leads his team to their 4th NFC Championship game in eight years.

It's ironic that the Cardinals scored on a 4th and 24 against the Vikes to get the Packers into the playoffs.
