[QUOTE="weeds, post: 1063742, member: 39"] Has anyone watched this? I did and it was everything I expected it to be. Brutal ... and everything reasonably accurate - but, just brutal. The one bit that caught my attention was Jenn Sterger's notation that through the whole ordeal, she has not once talked to, or so much as met Brett Favre. I guess the lesson that we Packers' fans are being taught here by the producers of these Netflix offerings is that we need to stop worshiping the likes of Favre, et al, just because they're professional athletes instilling a belief in said athletes that they're above any and all societal morality? When Favre was playing in Green Bay and was being idolized by NE Wisconsin and the nation, I had an Assistant Manager who positively despised Brett Favre. She was and still is a very good judge of character even though she had never met the man. I couldn't resist needling her with "Sheesh, he must have fended off your forward advances or something." Which always went over big. While I'm diggin' at her, I'm telling my young son that he should not idolize professional athletes for anything aside from the fact that they can do things with a ball that you and I can't. That stuck with him so much that his entire rec room is filled with jerseys of his favorite players. I've NEVER purchased one - I've stuck with team orientated stuff that didn't have individual's names on the back of it. [/QUOTE]
