What a horrendous weekend for sports in Wisconsin. First, the Badgers get beat by Ohio State. Then the Brewers get knocked out of the playoffs. While that was going on, the Packers were getting beat at home by the Falcons (Mason Crosby – FAIL). And a little while ago, Matt Kenseth got caught up in a big wreck at Talledaga.

Oh, and my Fantasy Football Team is getting trounced again this week. I had possibly one of the best rosters ever… but thanks to injuries, it’s been feeble.

This weekend wasn’t pretty.

I’m actually quite convinced that the commentators are a) referring to Brett Favre more than Aaron Rogers, and b) referring to Brett Favre more than Brett Favre was referred to IN THE GD JETS GAME!!!!

I sincerely hope that each and every game of the 2008 season does not include the “Har har har, Brett Favre, har har har, Aaron Rogers, har har har, blah blah blah,” that we’re hearing tonight. Ugh. I know, they have to talk about it — but I just don’t want to hear it all year.

Holy shit that was cool! I just got home from driving Mike Graczkowski’s #2 Schroeder Implement Pontiac at the Slinger Super Speedway. Tonight was just a practice run for my Gilbert Brown Hall of Fame Race, this Sunday. Yours truly had the fastest practice lap, as I turned a 13.6 (seconds) lap around the quarter-mile oval. Gilbert’s fastest time was a 13.89. On Sunday, I’ll be taking on Gilbert Brown (Green Bay Packers legend), Bill Michaels (WTMJ sports guy), Lance Allen (Channel 4 Sports), and a guy from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal around 7pm. Apparently, Bill Michaels has some experience behind the wheel of sprint cars in Pennsylvania. We’ll see if I can kick his ass (since I never do at the Women for MACC Shoot for a Cure). It should be a lot of fun.

Brett Favre, Wisconsin’s BFF, is going to the Jets. I’m guessing that the New York media and fans are going to eat him for lunch every time he throws a pick, loses a game, or tries some Brett-Farveish move that doesn’t work.

Good luck, Brett. I’m glad you’re in the AFC now.

When I started working for a certain company, there was one woman who was the top salesperson year after year. She had a gigantic flaw, though. This woman was a total selfish, infantile bitch that loved to cause problems day after day.

Since she was the top biller, she broke sales records, and she was miles ahead of the nearest sales person, she assumed that she could get away with anything. On a regular basis, she would belittle the manager, conduct personal business during work hours, and stomp her feet whenever anyone objected to her behavior. It was basically like working with one of Cinderella’s evil stepsisters.

Then, one day, I got a call from my manager; he fired her. The company had enough of her diva-like behavior and they were not going to further negotiate with this internal terrorist. A lot of the staff thought that we were doomed. After all, her name was on all the sales awards, most of the incoming contracts, and in the minds of tons of clients.

After her departure, we started breaking sales records.

Green Bay, too, will be just fine. They had great successes with their diva-like employee, but they won’t be able to move forward until they truly move on.

The Green Bay Packers signed former Jacksonville Jaguars free-agent quarterback, Quinn Gray to a $100K contract.

Get some balls, Green Bay… trade for Brady Quinn.

On of my “business” professors was late to class today because he was busy watching the Brett Favre retirement press conference. Pretty damn professional. We’re now five minutes into when class was supposed to start and we still haven’t gotten down to business. Sheesh!

FoxSports.com is reporting that Brett Favre is retiring from the Green Bay Packers! He’s had a great career and I’m glad that he was on “our” team.

The most storied quarterback career in NFL history is coming to a close.

FOXSports.com has learned that legendary quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire. In fact, it’s believed he informed the Packers of his decision within the last few days, although it’s unclear when Favre and the team will make his decision known.

So barring an unforeseen last-minute change of heart, Favre will leave the game after 17 years, during which he built himself into a household name and a figure synonymous with grit, toughness and perseverance.

Neither GM Ted Thompson nor head coach Mike McCarthy returned several calls left by FOXSports.com for confirmation.

After flirting with retirement for the last few years, Favre will finally go out on the heels of one of the best seasons of his career.

Somebody e-mailed this to me…

A man goes to the Chicago Bear ticket office and inquires about purchasing
play-off tickets. The ticket teller replies that there weren’t any
tickets for sale because the Bears did not make it to the play-offs.

The following day the same man goes to the Chicago Bear ticket office and
inquires about purchasing Bear play-off tickets. The ticket teller
politely replies that there weren’t any tickets for sale because the Bears
did not make it to the play-offs.

This goes on for an entire week.

The man goes to the Bear ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets
and the teller again tells him there are no tickets for sale because the
Bears did not make it to the play-offs.

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller
about Bear play-off tickets. Finally the ticket teller says in a loud
voice . . .

I’VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE ARE NO TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE
THE BEARS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS.”

The man replied, “I know. I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear
you say that!”

I am in my fantasy football championship today and Brett Favre isn’t helpin’ a brother out AT ALL. There’s money to be made, here… and you’re just not playing up to par. WTF! Seriously, Favre, you have a ZERO QB rating… Kyle freakin’ Orten is in the hundreds. Play friggin’ football, okay! GRRRRR!
