I am a Packers or maybe a Brett Favre fan, so I am actually cheering on the Vikings this season. I know some will call me a traitor and that is ok. I actualy cannot cheer for the Pack until Ted Thompson leaves the team. I am actually not here to talk about the Packers or Vikings or even Brett Favre. I saw this article today and thought it was pretty cool. I don't know much about the current Lions team and maybe this was posted here before but I thought I'd post it anyway: (also not sure about that whole woman comment)

... 'tis why you've not read from me on this topic as Mom is glued to the tube!!! lol She's come up for air once this week and only after I called 'cause I hadn't heard from her. Then she explained, "US Open is on. I'll talk to you when it's over." You see now how far down her priority list I rank, even the talk gets his walk!

Yeah I was irritated about him not making up his mind and got tired of hearing about him..ect..but even I am excited that Brett has decided to play!!!!!
He couldn't let it go man.....I think he tried but wasn't able to give it up just yet....I think with Adrian Peterson running the ball it will open up play action for Favre.....

I appreciate it when an athlete or a coach is willing to open up about his personal life. We get too many standard quotes and pat answers. I'm interested in knowing the little details of a public figure's life, as you might have gathered from
