LOL! I’m totally “Packered Up” today. We’re going over to my Dad’s to have Christmas and watch the game with him. I’ve got on my FAVRE #4 jersey, my big “G” earrings and my lucky Packer socks. I’d wear my 82 Reggie WHITE jersey, but it’s gaining in value and I can’t afford to spill any more beer on it. I sure do miss ‘The Minister of Defense!’

We can’t lose! We can’t! We won’t! :)

Man, can you imagine playing in this weather today? Wind gusts to 50 MPH and icy snow? Yeesh.

Brett Favre has given me more THRILLS outside of the bedroom than any other man I’ve ever met. :)

‘Tis true!

The Chicago Tribune had a hilarious article in the Sports section today comparing Farve's stats with the total aggregate stats of all the Bears' quarterbacks since he entered the League.

American Treasure? Oh please...

All these years, I still cannot pronounce his frickin name. I mean, his name is such a mess, they made an entire movie scene about it.

Great athlete, nice guy, but just an awful name.

As someone who lives just around the corner from Lambeau Field and has had the pleasure of meeting Favre, I can confirm that everything said about him is true. He is really a class act.

What are you saying, Diana, that you and Brett have known each other (in the Biblical sense) in public places? You can’t mean that. But I like to think that’s what you meant. Don’t rain on my parade.

Thats about enough Green Bay kool-ade on this page. I respect the guy but lets look at the record. You can say what you want about how great Favre is but since 1985 during his "dominance" over the Bears, each team has had two Superbowl appearences with one victory. Thats the bottom line. Green Bay may have Favre and the Lambeau leep (something about drunken, adult men hugging and carressing each other in public does not apppeal to me). Throw out that statistic all you want about how many QB's the Bears have had since Favre. We have been just as successful over the same period.

And good luck finding your next "Favre" Green Bay fans. I remember the days of Lynn Dickey, Randy Wright, David Whitehurst and the "Majik" man. Those days are right around the corner.

The Trib article rubbed me the wrong way. Kind of like the Green Bay fans during a Driver Lambeau leep. Favre has been very blessed throughout his career to have played so long with no major injuries. So now hes going to mock the Bears because they have had so many QB's during his "reign".

Its really cold here in Chicago today and that turf can get awful hard. I hope the Bears read the same article I did and put it on the bulletin board in the locker room.

I’ll read the Trib article again to see why you’re thinking that way (I’m not disputing that you should or should not). I don’t really take the Trib’s sports coverage seriously, anyway.

There is a Packer bar here in Atlanta and if you’re not there before gametime you can pretty much forget about getting a seat.

The weirdest part is, she’s referring to Santa Ana, the Mexican general.

Favre: An American treasure

No, folks. He is a football player. That's it.

Farve didn’t start playing for the Packers until 1992. For you to start with 1985, when Favre was still in high school is ridiculous. Maybe we should start back in 1960, although I’m sure you wish to start at the beginning of the NFL. You can always find some time period to start that proves whatever point it is you are trying to make.

We Packer fans don’t need to insult the Bears to appreciate that we Packer fans have have been able to cheer for and enjoy one of the all-time greats.

Besides, isn’t it the Bears’ hometown paper that is insulting the Bears?
