10 Years ago...


Sorry Abby, but its another sports posting. It has been ten years since the Packers played the Broncos and lost. I watched that game in an apartment in Moose Jaw with two people who did not watch a lot of football, but nonetheless rooted for the Broncos. This was my first experience with those odd people in the world who watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. I try not to think of that game very often, but a couple of years ago I saw Keith Jackson in an interview say that if he had come back for that season, he really felt the Packers could have exploited the Broncos. I never really understood what he was talking about, but here is an excellent piece in the Journal Sentinel. The comments from Chmura and Butler are absolutely astounding. It may change your whole opinion on that game, and on Favre for that matter.

where's the article? I watched that Super Bowl on a big screen in South Carolina at a church that blocked out EVERY commercial by order of the pastor. Hoo-rah!

Come back to the present! The past is no place for you!

I got 2/3 of the way through the article and felt my life force quickly draining away from me so I hopped on over to the sticky stuff to close up the wound. I then remembered reality and really thought about it and so I live to tell the tale of my excursion into Greg's insane football cult.

Watching the best love song ever was just to add a little bounce to my step.
