Favre signs with the Vikings...

Okay..how could I NOT resist saying something about Brett returning to the NFL after what....his second retirement in that many seasons? And plus, I need to get out of "scanty" mode when it comes to my blog postings..right Faith? LOL :-)

For any of you that don't already know or for that matter really care...we reside in WI, not "too far" from the hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field. For me, GB Packer football has not been the same since he left. That said, I have "overnight" changed my favorite colors from green and gold to PURPLE! I

I know, I know, this turn of events (Brett coming back) not me changing colors, has sparked a lot of ill feelings with a lot of GB Packer fans, but oh well...GET OVER IT! In my opinion, hey, if you are forty years old (39 and counting) and can still play with the young bucks AND beat them at their best game at that level..hey, you're my hero Brett! I know this old body couldn't have done it at forty, or thirty, or...!

Rock on Brett...I'll be sporting a new team jersey this season and it will be PURPLE! Who knows, maybe I'll even invest in one of those Viking hats with the horns poking out the sides and see if I can steal a photo beside Ted Thompson in front of the Curly Lambeau statue!

Woooohooooo....R Dean

  2. I know you like Favre- which I am willing to overlook :-P, but why, why, did he have to play for my team. Ugh! I think it is interesting though that you still like him since, from what I have been reading, the Packers fans are some kind of mad. Guess I will be rooting FOR him this year (said through clinched teeth).
    Have a great weekend!

  3. Hi Faith...I'm not your typical guy..I don't live and die by whether the GB Packers win or lose on Sunday's and believe me..some do! I don't hunt or ice fish either..not to be critical of those that do, I just prefer not to. I would rather spend time at home and with my son, with whom I play golf and bowl with..much more fun! :-)

  4. Tracey, quite honestly, he wanted to play for the Vikes when he was in his last season with the GB Packers (the season they released him)...However, Ted Thompson in his infinite wisdom concocted a deal to prevent him from playing in the NFC, which now has backfired! Although he says he doesn't want to stick it to Thompson...I find it hard to believe..hehehe..Anyway, we can share pics of our Viking parties this season..LOL

  5. Craig Counsell has been playing some good baseball for the Brewers this season, too - and he's also 39!! "Old" guys on both teams; interesting to see how this plays out.
