This afternoon, Green Bay lost its second game for a start of 0-2. They lost to the Cleveland Browns, quarterbacked by Trent “College Boy” Dilfer, who I have always called a stiff. Of course, I also predicted today that Jamal Lewis was set up for a monster day. (He rushed for 9 yards.)
This is surely not how Brett Favre wanted his last season to go. Life-threatening sickness in his family; legal issues in his family; his hometown and summer home gets wiped out in a hurricane; and to top it all off he’s got no defense and a questionable offensive line and his top receiver knocked out for the season. I’m sure he was hoping he could end his career like that Elway guy, with a brand-new Super Bowl ring. That appears to be out of reach at this point.
So football isn’t going so well.
