Its amazing what someone can do with the help of Percocet and Wild Turkey.
I like how SI one-upped everyone in the fellatio race.
“Top that, John Madden!”
I’ll give you a dollar to replace that picture with the below one of Mr. Paulos.
I heard the others in the running were Marion Jones, Pacman Jones, and Barry Bonds.
(I have this one under moderation …most weird ..maybe because I spelled out the words with missing letters below ..the automated censors must be A.A. sponsors)…
I think it was Vic .din as well. Not bad if you can throw with his speed on perc.cet and Voc.din with a few beer chasers. A poster child for Hazelden. It’s alright with me if he takes them to to Bowl. The maniac is amazing. Vike qbs last 2 years average. Will Jackson last ? Only the shadow knows
I think this is very well deserved. I hope this will give Mr. Favre’s wife a podium because I just can’t seem to get enough of her. It’s like the media avoids her. I doubt if any football fans have even seen her.
Whats the best way to clean vomit off a keyboard? Anyone know?
Go to Best Buy …and buy a new one or wait for the S.I. picture of the Williams boyz and puke all over
Brett’s wife, Deanna, was there, looking glamorous in a long coat and high-heeled boots. Even before her memoir about beating breast cancer hit The New York Times’s best-seller list, she was the second-biggest celebrity in Green Bay.
Third-biggest celebrity would have to be the guy who sells hot tubs to Mark Chmura.

“That’s WATson’s!”
I sets ‘em up, Dave knocks ‘em down.
Amazingly, a Google search for “third biggest celebrity” and “Green Bay” returns nothing… but a search for “third biggest celebrity” reveals
Yassmine as the number one result…
“Favre’s mother, Bonita, was holding court at one of the half-dozen tables, her throaty laugh audible over the din.”
Does anyone else assume this is just an eloquent way of letting us know she’s smoked a few in her day?
I made it to page 4 of that story. I figure that should get me out of a few years of purgatory.
The biggest Twin Cities celebrity is atie between….the Williams Bros ! Who else is big enuf ? Can you imagine them in a hot tub ? Like with that woman on the Watson’s ad. Good vid that be
StraightCashHomey: I was unaware that purgatory took “previously served time” into account. If so, I’d better get busy doing things that I don’t enjoy.
when you are old and gray (assuming that isn’t true now) you will be telling your grandkids (though they could likely care less) that you saw the greatest qb in history, and will it be Daunte…or Fran …or Tavaris ? No, I suspect it will be the man in Green, wearing the colors of Green and Gold, the colors of Fall, of football season, not purple, the colors what.. they will not know..Play Doh ?
I will say this upfront and in all honesty, I’ve never seen anyone, a great player or just a special teams lifer, who had more fun playing the game than Favre…and did you ever see him after the game ? Opposing players always make their way to him maybe hopin greatness can be obtained by contact but coming over just the same. Reggie White was like that. Makes the game great
You might not want to take my word for it, Dave. I just figure there must be some larger purpose to all the crotch-jockeying done around Favre. Credit for time served makes as much sense to me as anything else.
As proxy for a day for Mr. Favre, Mr. Paulos accepts that Mr. Straight
Jim Biever
I’ll bet the SI story mentioned how Favre wanted to play just wearing the visor pictured, but the team insisted that he wear a helmet.

Don’t worry, buddy, you’ll beat Tourette’s one of these days.
I think someone should start a Chuck Norris-like site dedicated to Favre and his utter amazingness-osity. A couple to think about:
The only person who can throw a pass that Brett Favre can’t catch is Brett Favre. And most of the time he still can.
Brett Favre could kick field goals, but they can’t make a net strong enough to catch them.
Brett Favre once threw up during a game. The grass he threw up on repeatedly tackled Robert Smith for a loss.
Anyone would need a very long memory for this, but does anyone remember when Ray Nitscke (sp ?) of the old time Packers (that team that actually won Superbowls) cracked his helmet nearly in half on a helmet to helmet tackle (no pansy rules then) but didn’t want to come out ? Me neither, but I was told it to be true, by fanatical Pack fans…the best kind
please dont give this guy any more stuff. he’s not that good. Two super bowls he’s only 1-1, big deal, Fran Tarkenington was better. the Bushers will never get out of the NFC this yr anyway. basically they stink.
Packers stink…not,
just compare their records. Fran ever win the Big One ? And his arm was sortof a rag, goota admit that. He could scramble, for sure, but a qb needs at times …to throw, long, accurately and often…Fran..not, sorry..Pull the stats yourself..google them. They are not trumped up stats. I liked Fran but his name was a little suspect 
Any football fan should know Favre deserves no accolades since we on this site have accomplished so much more on the gridiron (there’s sarcasm in there somewhere)
