Today I think everyone I know emailled, IMed and Twittered the news to me that Brett Favre is retiring. And just about everyone assumed that I’d be outraged or sad. Honestly, I don’t think he could have repeated his performace from last year and I’m kind of happy that he is leaving on a high note and not as an old struggling quarterback who is past his prime. Last season was awesome. More than anyone expected, I think. Remember Costanza, “When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off.” Thanks for the memories, Brett Favre!

Disappointing Loss
January 20th, 2008 · No Comments
Obviously, because I’m smiling, this photograph was taken before the Packers/Giants game today. It was a close one and in the end Favre threw an interception in overtime and the Giants scored to win.
The best part of the night was that Danny cooked dinner for us and it was delicious. Beef tenderloin with a red wine/roasted garlic/roasted shallot reduction with a light salad and potatoes au gratin. Danny is such a great cook but we haven’t properly put him to work for us lately!! That’s got to change!

The Pack vs. The Boys

Not much to say – it was a good game, but the Packers lost in the end. I’m glad it wasn’t a blowout either way. Dallas and I managed to watch the game together and not get into a fight or break up, as predicted. Up to the game we’d decided that I’d watch it upstairs and he’d watch it downstairs and we joked that if the Packers won then I’d have to pack an overnight back and stay upstairs. Realizing that was dumb, we decided to watch together. We had Killian over, which probably kept some things in check. We also agreed ahead of time to not be nasty. I screwed up once early on, but otherwise it went well. Favre is hurt but looks like he’ll be playing in the next game. When Aaron Rodgers came in I thought it was all over, but he actually did pretty well. Maybe we won’t be so bad off when Favre finally decides to retire.

Brett Favre is the all-time winningest QB in NFL history
September 26th, 2007 · 8 Comments
Don’t know why I didn’t bring this up earlier. Like, on Sunday. I admit that I wanted Brett Favre to retire years ago and the past few years the Packers haven’t looked great. But with Brett performing this year and the Packers at 3-0 for the season so far, it’s hard not to be excited! (Knocking on tons of wood right now.) Holding records like second all-time in career interceptions thrown by a quarterback isn’t so hot, but a bunch of these other records and milestones are pretty exciting. Call me fair-weather, but I’m kind of glad to still have Favre around. I hope that after he retires as quarterback (at the end of this year??) he stays around and becomes a QB coach or something.
