Jack Buck said it best during Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run during the first game of the 1988 world series "I don't believe what I just saw."  That's how I felt when I read this story this morning.  Some people in Wisconsin, totally oblivious of reality, have replaced their Miller six packs with gallons of number four kool-aid.

I love the one woman who said "I want to see him go as far as possible in the playoffs after what the Packers did to him."  Excuse me?  What exactly did the Packers do to him?  Nothing that I can see.

Brett Favre behaved like an over entitled four year-old and then was miffed when he didn't get his candy back.  Plain and simple.  The Packers gave him every opportunity to come back and were held hostage in a vain attempt by Farve's handlers to get him traded to Minnesota.  That's reality.  He screwed them and not the other way around. And for those of you with your head still in the sand, Favre is already talking about retiring again, which, roughly translated, means he'd like the Jets to trade him somewhere else.

When most players hold out, it's about money.  Favre holds out because he is attention whore.  Sorry to be so direct, but that's the unvarnished truth from someone without a dog in the hunt.

The Packers problems this year haven't been at quarterback.  They've been on defense.  They've been on the head coach.  But don't blame Aaron Rodgers.  He's had a fine year.  Considering the pressure the kid was under from day one, he's had a remarkable year.

Yet these people can't let go.  Do you think if Favre was a Bear and he pulled the same crap, Bear fans would blame the team?  Heck no.  There were Bear fans ready to drive Brian Urlacher to the airport during his contract dispute and Urlacher is every bit of a Bear legend as Farve is a Packer legend.  It's because as Chicagoans, we realists and don't exist in a world where one guy gets to hold a team hostage and get away with it.

Some other moron claimed that the Packers are "the laughingstock of the NFL."  Right division, wrong team, pal.  That would be the Lions.

It's sad to think people still live in a world where if Brett Favre told Peter King "I hate cheese and Miller Beer tastes like skunk piss" they'd excuse it around here as "Brett just isn't from the area."  Yeesh.
