number 4

I must take a minute and reflect on what I deem to be blog-worthy news. Yesterday, Brett Favre announced that he would be returning for another year with the Packers. For me, this is great news! I've grown up watching him--the good and the bad years. Ending after last years horrible season would have been sad.

Farve has taken a lot of heat from the media for holding out so long on his decision of whether to play or not. I'm thinkin, 'give the guy a break.' He is one of the most talented athletes to ever set foot on a football field. He has played with passion on every snap, and his commitment to his teammates and the Packers organization is unquestionable. He has certainly deserved the right to take his time and make a decision. The media, and other money-and-fame driven people simply do not understand that.

So, at kickoff on opening day this fall, Packer fans all over the great state of Wisconsin will be back to their familiar routine once again. Reclining in front of the T.V. with a Miller in hand, and watching number 4 do his thing. I can't wait!
