Did any one catch Favre's little joke about where he wants to play? He said he wasn't "hot" on Tampa Bay, and that preferred cold climates. It gets mighty cold in Chicago and Minnesota.
Anybody else sick of Brett Favre?

My bad I thought they were moving to a new stadium. I should have googled before I posted. They haven't even built it yet.

He's sucked in cold-weather games for the past few years.
Hell, I hope Green Bay 'takes him back' at starter. That oughta set them back 2-3 years.
Go Bears!
They started construction on the new Twins stadium last August (it'll be ready in 2010). The Gophers are also getting a new football stadium. As for the Vikings, that's still on the drawing board. Zygi Wilf seems as loathe as past owners to put in much money for a new stadium, and public financing is in short supply (new bridges seem to be the priority now).
Back on topic: The more I hear from Brett Favre, the more I wish he'd just go away.
Mike Lupica writes about Favre in his NY Daily News column today:
Brett Favre is not the first high-profile athlete to act this shocked that the parade could somehow go on without him, just the latest. It means Favre is now the latest of your immortal-type legends to stumble like he's the one wearing Miss USA's high heels as he leaves the stage. Or decides NOT to leave the stage again. But then with Favre, it's difficult sometimes to tell whether he is coming or going.
But the more you watch Favre behave this way, which means like a spoiled brat, the more you see him try to make people forget how he has given the Packers everything over a long and compelling career at Lambeau, the more you realize something:
A good goodbye is more rare in sports than a baseball player hitting for the cycle.

Here's some fun being reported on CNBC. http://www.cnbc.com/id/25782965
Yeah, because an all-time great who was second in MVP voting and led the Packers to the NFC championship game is such a hack who couldn't hold a candle to Rex Grossman.
Aaron Rodgers is going to set the team back when they find out he's about as good as Akili Smith, David Klingler, Cade McNown, Kelly Stouffer, Jim Druckenmiller and all those other can't-miss first round QB picks.
But wait! Rodgers is their guy! Which is why they want to go with him over Favre... and which is why they took Brian Brohm (second round!) and Matt Flynn in the 2008 draft.
Right now yes very much so. It's almost like the rest of the NFL (I tried to talk about the Hall of Fame but got no takers) doesn't exist. The sooner this whole soap opera ends, the better.
Well, this was reported on the Green Bay Press Gazette website today: http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com...AID=/20080803/PKR01/80803034/1978&located=RSS
so I'm not sure what anyone is really up to. Then again, this is the paper that mistakenly reported that Green Bay Auxiliary Bishop Robert Morneau had died, when in fact, a high-ranking Monsignor and friend of Morneau's had died.
Bear in mind, gang, that when the Packers first became a publicly traded stock, the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay bought a ton of stock. They are getting a new Bishop later this month (he's being installed during a home preseason Packers game
). Maybe Bp. Rickens wants to see Favre continue to play in Green Bay.

Aaron Rodgers needs to go ahead and relearn how to hold the clipboard.
Please don't forget that I can change your avatar and your title anytime I feel the desire.

Shouldn't one of those images be dressed in purple........
You do realize that each night before Batman goes to bed, he checks his closet for JKTim. Such is the fear he evokes in all creatures.
