Packers

Still a fan

So, I’m not going to argue with the fact that there is a good chance that Brett Favre probably pushed things too far. I’m not going to argue that the Packers probably could have handled the situation better. Its safe to say, there is a good chance that both are to blame at some level, though you might not get that opinion in Green Bay right now. But I’m still a fan.

#4 is a Jet!

Wow, I didn’t think that it would get to this point. But Brett Favre has been traded to the NY Jets. Its kind of sad to think of #4 as anything other than a Packer. But based on some of the things that have been reported, I’m not that surprised anymore. Good Luck Brett, Thanks for the memories. Now Go Pack GO!!!!

#4 is back!

If you don’t know who #4 is, you’ve been living under a football rock for the past 16 years. I’m of coarse referring to the immortal Brett Favre. After retiring in March, he has changed his mind and the league has finally reinstated him. As a packer fan, I’m a bit torn. I love watching #4 hurl the ball. He’s exciting to watch. But, at the same time, he was a jackass in the off season.

Tornado directly affects Packers’ Kampman, other NFL players

A tornado struck northeast Iowa a week ago, and seven people were killed. About 220 homes were destroyed, and much of the downtown of Parkersburg, Iowa, (pop.: 1,800) was leveled. We see these stories in the news an awful lot this time of year, and we feel sad for those who have been affected, but for the most part we move on. This one piqued my interest because four NFL players — Green Bay defensive end Aaron Kampman, Detroit defensive end Jared DeVries, Jacksonville center Brad Meester and Denver offensive lineman Casey Wiegmann — come from there, and I read where Kampman had sent out an urgent appeal for help.
