Yes, the Packers loss to the Cardinals yesterday sucked and I haven’t really slept or eaten since. I am sorely disappointed in the so-called #1 Rush Defense in the NFL who missed the fraking plane to Arizona and Dom Capers who was evidently off holding up a bar somewhere. But, I forgive Nick Barnett because he is a mensch (yeah, his team and he are paid millions of dollars to deliver at crunch time, but humility and a promise to work harder work wonders with the Packer Nation). A shout-out to Ted Thompson for sticking to his guns, saying No Thanks to Brett Favre and going with Aaron Rodgers, and for signing Charles Woodson, but not so much for replacing Ryan Longwell with Mason Crosby. I am proud of young Rodgers for bringing us this far in two years, especially given our Swiss cheese offense earlier this season, psycho(tic) defense and staggering penalty count. Don’t be fickle, some of you, and remember that Favre would have thrown six interceptions in that one game.
Ultimately, whatever team won yesterday was destined to get spanked in New Orleans next week, so now I can root for the Saints without reservation. Before I allow the second line, replete with king cake, sazeracs and brass bands, to start at VatulNet World HQ, however, some things need to go on the record.
1. Saints, buy yourself a couple of referees this week.
2. No, really, the cheaters will hit your helmet and grab your facemask.
3. Need I say more?
4. What do you think my answer was?
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the sound you’ve all been waiting for: GEAUX SAINTS!!!
“Not in a million years” as an option on a quiz like that ought to be telling the rest of the country SOMEthing about how Favre is regarded by folks in Wisconsin. Get over it, sports writers and announcers, and get with Rodgers. Yeesh. GEAUX SAINTS!
That singer has a hot voice and sexy dress. Does anybody know her name?
