While fans in Packer Nation are crying in their beer and brats because of the abrupt retirement of Green Bay Packers uber QB Brett Favre, The Hound is happy as getting new straw in the dog house. Thanks for the memories, Brett --- not! Thanks for the nightmares, you mean.
All you Packer fans can trade in your brand new No. 4 jerseys for what'shisname, your new quarterback. Favre called it quits Tuesday after 16 seasons with Green Bay and as many tormenting Bears fans. Farewell and good riddance, Favre.
And don't tell The Hound that the game is going to be worse off because another superstar is gone or that he was the best of all time. Maybe to Packer Backers. Bears Backers, though, saw him as what he was: A Bears stalker, who in his career threw 53 touchdowns against the Monsters of the Midway, including Nov. 12, 1995. That's the game in which he threw five touchdowns at Lambeau Field in a 35-28 drubbing of the Bears. With Favre at the helm, it was disappointing season after disappointing season in the NFC's Central Divison for the Bears.
So there's no crying here like there is in Titletown. Begone, Bad Brett.
Spend the rest of your days washing dishes at Brett Favre's Steakhouse on Brett Favre Pass _
just a long punt from Lambeau _ for all we care. Go Bears!
