Lambeau

You have to go to Lambeau at least one time!
On Monday night, Hillary went to her first Packer game at Lambeau. This wasn't her first trip to Lambeau though. A couple years ago, we went to the UW vs OSU college hockey game at Lambeau for my birthday. Even though this was a preseason game, it was still a lot of fun. It was also historic as this was the first game in 16 years without Brett Favre. I wish he was still in GB, but my loyalty as a fan remains with the Packers. I have been fortunate because over the last 14 years I have covered a dozen or so games on the field and have been to a few more as a fan. One game I was actually standing next to Favre as they introduced the starters on Defense.
Who knows what the future holds for the Packers or
Favre...but Baby Lobe is ready to go. We picked him up a Packer outfit and Packer pacifier (that will be used on game days). My sister and cousin gave us a couple outfits too. Enjoy the pictures!

What the Favre?

I know we don't update this enough so I figured I would express my thoughts on Favre.
Brett Favre seriously make up your mind and quit frigging pointing fingers.
I don't care if Ted Thompson didn't give you enough toys or if Mike McCarthy didn't hug you enough. No matter who you are 1 person is not more important than the team. Frankly he can play for anyone but the Vikings or Bears! It's hard enough seeing Bevell wear purple.
Don't get me wrong, assuming he comes back I would be happy to have him ready to back up Rogers. Ok, enough on the Packers and Favre.
All of our attention should be on the Brewers and the fact they will have their first MLB All-Star Starting Pitcher in Ben Sheets in addition to Ryan Braun starting in LF. Throw in Corey Hart and the Brewers deserve all the current sports publicity!
Looking on the bright side this means I will have more room in my basement for Badger and Brewer memorabilia! Oh, and eventual pictures of Baby Lobe.
