Favre: An American treasure
Chicago Sun Times ^ | December 23, 2007 | Jay Mariotti

Brett Favre is such a regular guy that fans everywhere have been touched by his story, which has required a perseverance that merits our admiration

Every Tuesday, he takes out the trash. I pass this along as further confirmation that the Brett Favre folklore is no myth, that he is very much the Everyman who warms the American condition like no other athlete. It isn't talk-show-cool to dish such gooey love, I realize, particularly in a horrid year when steroids, dogfighting and game-fixing have dominated and debilitated sports like rat poison.

My Step-Uncle is Shiner’s brewmaster. Try the Black lager and the Heffe, both pretty tastey.

Merry Christmas, Rude!
