But this year, there is another factor- age. Yes, the Pack are winning this year; and Favre is the Favre we are used to seeing. But at what point do the Packers start planning beyond him? I have to tell you OD; I think the Pack are playing a dangerous game to leave Favre still in the game late when the game is pretty well over- and the fat lady is starting to clear her voice.
By the way, I am no Bears fan; but I think the Bears/Packers rivalry is one of the best things in all of professional sports. For some reason, both of these teams seem to play their very best when playing each other!

Well NJ, I must admit to tears watching the game on Sunday. The Bears did quite a number on the Pack. And harder still for me, I have traitors in my family...yes, it is a truth, I am grieved to live with. You see, we are from Chicago. But I was the baby of the family. So I was raised in Wisconsin, though my older brothers have a loyalty to the Bears. Heck, my one brother's son even named his baby daugther Peyton!!!

I think that Coach Mike ought to play Aaron Rodgers more than he does. And when Brett hurt his elbow a couple games back, and sadly we did lose, it was not from the offense, but the defense that we suffered the loss. (and some very wrong calls by the refs)
And Aaron played a fine game indeed, doing a splendid display of his good quarter-backing abilities.

I think we will go to the Superbowl though this year yet, will win and Brett will leave in a tide of glory and praise.

And if I was ever gonna have another baby, I would name him Brett...with a Peyton in the family, I believe to balance things we need a Brett. But more likely for me, to convince one of my children to start a family and name my first grandson Brett.
