Perhaps a better song to open with would be Lindsay Buckingham's amazing "I know I'm not wrong", but I don't know that. What I do know is that I am a Milwaukee Brewer Fan 1st, a Brett Favre fan 2nd and a fan of women/mind altering substances 3rd. The Vikings are a close 4th and the Packers a 5th or 6th and slipping further away than a crazy ex-girlfriend.

That offerred, I want to clarify a bit from my last post, "Favre Looks Done...". I wish no ill upon Brett, Vikings or fans of either. I actually wrote the post as an exercise in therapy, since no one here in Milwaukee wants to hear me cry about my favorite QB and my new favorite NFL team. I already wore the purple #4 jersey to Miller Park this fall, and after fielding several hundred suggestions to go do various (anatomically impossible) things to myself, I decided to wear it less conspicuously.  However, my enjoyment of Brett's style of play and my hope for a Super Bowl victory for him and the Vikings is real.

What am I trying to say? Ok, I admit that I wanted to have it in writing that I could see all the signs of Brett losing steam, interest (can we play the Packers again?), focus and arm strength. It was clear to me that he has (temporarily) lost the ability to make more positive than negative plays. It's been happening since 1992, though it used to just last for one game. He rarely (if ever) could turn it around mid-game. You saw enough of his failures in the Dome to know what I am talking about. The odd thing now is that, unlike in past years where he'd just suck in Dallas or wherever for one game, it appears that when the slide occurs, it is multi-game. I hope he rediscovers his mojo. I hope that his playoff performance is like vs. Seattle, circa 2008 in the snow.

And to be completely honest, I think the only way that happens is if the Vikings receive another visit from those Lambeau lepers (I mean leapers). Maybe then, and only then, the high plains drifter will allow himself to resurface.

Another song lyric to tie it up: "Guess that's all I had to say...except the feeling just grows stronger...everyday."

Thanks for the open forum known as the internet. Take it easy.
