Background for the football challenged among you, or those who just live in a cave: Being from the Big Woods of Wisconnie, I am a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. And Brett Favre has been my love for many, many years. Brett, of course, retired and then unretired and the lame-ass Packer management told him no. So he played for the NY Jets for a year. Then he retired again. Then he unretired again. And now he is the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings - one of the two main rivals of the Packers. Plus he is so effing cute in those Wranglers commercials.

Tonight, Monday Night Football was Packers vs. Vikings and the Packers lost. Which made me sad. But Brett had a fabulous game. Which made me happy. But the direct result was the Packers losing. Which made me upset. But Brett was really sweet and great in all of the post-game interviews. Which made me feel pangs of love for him. I feel like a traitor! But not really because Brett was my QB for so long. You see my dilemma.

Here's what it really comes down to - I love football and the Packers and Brett Favre but I'm not supposed to root for the Vikings ever under any circumstances because I'm a Packers fan. And believe it or not, this has had me close to tears ALL NIGHT. You don't really care, do you? You think it's a stupid game, huh? Don't worry - I won't go on and on all season. I really won't. But know that, for whatever reason, this is very much affecting me. I will do my best to carry on as though everything is fine.
