I pray that Mr. Favre's family is safe and feel badly for them, just as I do for everyone else on the Gulf Coast. But to highlight a celebrity during this mess is very poor taste on the part of the press. He has money to help them.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of people without the resources of Brett Favre who became homeless yesterday.

And you will be amazed (if Brett asks for it) how much he could raise from Packer's fans to support those other thousands.

(even after that whole Reggie White fund-raising debacle)

First of all anyone who knows the Favre Family which obviously you do not, knows that they are some of the sweetest, nicest people any one could ever meet. I have had the great fortune of meeting many of them and have even spent time at the home that was lost. Just because Bret is a football star does not make him any less human and if you have read any of the recent articles you would know that he has already sent supply's by way of air and truck to help out his very damaged community not just his family. He not only gives his all on the football field but also gives all of his heart to his home town and surrounding areas. If you ever get the chance to visit Kiln, I am sure that you won't find one person who would say that he is not a kind and generous person celebrity or not. Further more any one who has ever done their homework on Bret Favre knows that he does not like always being in the lime light unfortunately it just comes with the territory of being great at what you do.
