[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 251970, member: 1638"] Sure, I can understand where you are coming from. So, from your point of view, I guess I am more of a fan of NFL football as opposed to a Green Bay fan. I guess somewhere along the way I realized that NFL football is really nothing more than a business. I see various Green Bay teams made up of almost 100 percent of players NOT from Wisconsin and probably 95% of players that didn't go to college in Wisconsin. Most that play for Green Bay would never consider living in Wisconsin and most never stick around in Wisconsin when they retire. Also, Wisconsin has a substantial state income tax, so I would assume 100% of Packers players are advised NOT to change their residency to Wisconsin. So, I guess I need some explanations on why I should be exclusively devoted to the Green Bay Packers??? Other than the revenue they generate for the state, I can think of very few reasons. I think another big reason I am a Favre fan more than ever is because he represents the American Dream: Nobody tells him that he cannot play - he follows his heart and does what he wants. This is one of the core fundamental principles America was founded on - the pursuit of happiness. I also love the hell outta the fact that many attempt to denigrate his play, yet he wins wherever he goes. I think that at some point, people have to realize that after 18 years, luck is pretty much a non-factor and that you've gotta learn to see a "pattern" developing here. Finally, I've got a few more years to follow Brett and the rest of my remaining life to follow Green Bay.:happy0005: [/QUOTE]
