Root for Favre

Impossible as it is to root for the Purple, I think it is right to root for Brett Favre. When a 40 year old athlete performs at the highest level of his career and can sing a bad American Idol song after a big win against Dallas, you have to like him. He gave too much to the Green Bay Packers to turn on him now. He is like a family member who doesn't go to the same church. He is still a family member.

Just don't talk about him going into the Hall of Fame as a Viking. Any self respecting Packer fan will grit their teeth and clench their fists.

A Brief Look at 2009.

In my opinion, the 09 Packers did better than expected. Rodgers had an outstanding year especially given the rough start with the sacks. I think the Packer faithful were pretty satisfied.

Should they have beaten the Cardinals in the playoffs? Sure, but you have to be able to stop them on defense more than once. The Packers had several memorable games. Shades of Lynn Dickey and Lofton. The Pittsburgh game and the Cardinal playoff were a joy to watch, even in defeat. The Dallas and Ravens games showed that they had some grit and toughness.

There is a lot to look forward to in the off season. Let's hope TT gets some line help and a few more cornerbacks. I guess we will see.
