Did a queer write it? Why pick an author that hates football, and men, to write about the Super Bowl.
Anyone who understands football at least a little, and who has grown up with it, couldn’t help to tear up a little watching Bart Starr embrace Brett Favre when Favre’s number was retired.
Anyone who’s ever wanted five more minutes with your grandfather couldn’t help choking up a little. Starr had real trouble making that date, but was determined to be there for Favre.
Starr was looking at Favre, remembering what it was like to be Favre, and Favre was looking at Starr coming to the realization he was headed to where Starr is.
And Rodgers was looking on, knowing one of these days Favre will come out a much older man to help retire Rodger’s number.
I’m not a Packer fan, by any stretch, but you can’t really deny that the Packers are the ‘people’s team’. They are owned by the people of Green Bay.
Kenny Stabler died this year. The Snake was something else. He was Terry Bradshaw’s arch-enemy.
It’s a great game, for all its flaws.

Snarky little bitch, isn’t she...actually, I’m thinking it might be one of the resident footballphobes that turn up on these types of threads, with their weird, libidinous takes on the game...
tight pants epecially seems to preoccupy them...
i agree with you. I didn’t see the ceremony when Brett’s number was retired. The NFL network also ran a special about how Green Bay fans turned on him when he went to the Vikings. I might catch them on Youtube, even though, like you, I’m not a Packers fan.
My husband got me into football. I wish I’d been a fan growing up so I could have shared it with my father.
“Starr brings ‘em up. Sets. Quick snap, a fake to Hornung, gives to Taylor and Jimmy hauls 4 Giants on his back into the end zone from the 5 yard line for his 3rd. Touchdown today!!!! Oh those Packers! They are now up 28-0!”
