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

I'd always assumed that's who she referring to - wait, it couldn't be THE Santa she's thinking about, could it? No, that's just too sick.

The game wasn’t on here in NC or I’d have watched it. If someone does beat Dallas this year—I hope it is Green Bay. I like Favre a lot and think it would be a nice farewell season for him should he wish it (and I dislike the NY Giants, the Patriots, etc). Now that home field advantage is decided, at least everyone can rest up any injured players.

Well, get on it!!

Well, I've got a lot of guys asking me to get on it for them. There's the bears, the giants, the browns.....

I'll see what I can do. But it's going to cost you.

I’m curious to know how his wife is doing. I hadn’t heard anything in years so I assume she’s all right.

Thankfully their kids look like her. Hopefully they’ll have his athletic ability and her looks.

But I know the son of a former Cub who’s married to a woman who was a professional model. And he was an ugly son of a gun.

Looks like him. Has her athletic ability. Needless to say he’s a stockbroker.

It was pretty funny. If you had been a fly on the wall, you would’ve seen five VERY dejected Packer Fans whining about how “Christmas is Ruined!”

LOL! But, two hours later, we’re all fine and ready to fight again on the ‘morrow. :)

You should be ashamed of yourself dissing Ryan like that. I’m north of 250 lbs. in my shorts and stocking feet (and I assure you that I was wearing considerably more than that) and the wind in Soldier Field at least twice almost picked me up and threw me into the next row down. If you weren’t there you have NO idea of the wind and weather conditions.

I guess the Packers are just a warm weather team.

His wife was on MNF not too long ago. I think she just had a book come out?

Meaning no disrespect to his name, I don’t know whether he mispronounces it or misspells it.

Brett will always be THE MAN! I have my poster up in my store and every day people want to buy it. And everyone is told he is not for sale.

Not a good day for 4 though. But a worse day for the Browns who now need help to get in! Shawn Springs gets an INT! Nice ex-OSU star.

Watching the Bears beat the crap out of the Packers and Farve is priceless. What a wonderful Christmas present for Bear fans. Even with a rotten season, we take such great pleasure beating them. Beating them twice in a season is wonderful.

Sounds to me like its king Favre thats insulting the Bears. The same guy that got outplayed by our third string QB yesterday. He is a talent and has been blessed with durability but I think it arrogant of him to belittle our team because we have had so many QB’s since he has been in Green Bay. You can count up all the records you want but two Superbowl appearences 10 years ago does not impress me. Have fun in Dallas....how many games has is royal highness won there??

Nice column about Farve. Of course everyone knows that the reason the are doing so well this year is because of me wearing my lucky A. J. Hawks jersey every sunday. LOL!

LOL, indeed! Well, keep wearing it!

Brett is quite a man. An excellent athlete, but it doesn't stop there. Truly broke the mold with him. A great role model, in the truest sense of the word, especially in an era where some role models and some athletes have succombed to the pressures and priveleges of their status.

Fine. You can have ONE. But, the Bears still suck! :)

Well, they did sweep the Packers this year, but generally, they didn’t do well...so, yes, technically they do “suck”

Merry Christmas!

You’re welcome. On a side note, yesterday I tasted Shiner Bock for the first time (it’s been on the “to do” list for a long time). Good stuff. So good, in fact, that I pounded a couple in the garage while the nieces and nephews opened their presents (according to Lithuanian custom—after Christmas Eve dinner), no one noticed my absence.

As a Giants fan I’d like to thank Farve for laying down and allowing Strahan to break the single season sack record. And Hopefully the giants will have the opportunity to play the Pack again this year. That is if Eli can cut down his turnovers to 3 or 4 in their first round playoff game.
