On a more serious note, one of my friends is a Packer fan. I finally got around to asking him what he makes of the Favre situation. He said something like,
"Here's how I'm dealing with this. I'm choosing to believe that after the Giants beat the Packers in 2007, Brett Favre was on a private jet with Deanna when it got struck by lightning. On the way down to a fiery crash, Favre's last words were, "I love you, Deanna, and boy, I sure am glad I played for the Green Bay Packers." Some private army sent by John Madden got to the crash site before the media did, and cleaned up the wreckage. In the time that people thought Favre was throwing footballs through tire swings in his Wrangler jeans back home in Mississippi, the John Madden army was busy constructing a Brett Favre robot. Unfortunetly, the confidence chip in the robot was short circuited and went out of control. Now the robot thinks all teams care about its football career, and is seeking out to destroy Favre's friends, family, and former team, which the real Favre would never do.
So this Brett Favre in a Vikings jersey we'll be going up against on Monday isn't actually Brett Favre. Favre is dead. We're going up against an evil robot trying to take over the NFL."
