Favre, PLEASE Retire

Finally the wonderful Brett has an interview yesterday and says

"I wish I knew," Favre said. "I still know I can play. I still love to play. But there's just so much more to it than that now. I never thought it would be complicated, never thought I would give out mentally before I did physically.
"But right now if I had to pick, if someone said make a damn decision and live with it, I would say I'm not coming back."

Well here is to hoping he doesn't come back. Would be nice to hear these cheeseheads around here talk about something other than the magical can do no wrong Brett Favre. Must be a little frustrating for the rest of the team as well to constantly hear that everything that goes wrong is everyone elses fault but Brett's and that Brett is the only player on the team and has no one to throw to. Actually he has a lot of people to throw to, look at his career high 29 interceptions! LOL. Of course those were everyone elses faults too.

There is no doubt that he was a great football player. Unfortunatley the bulk of the fans here are psychotic. He is not and never has been the whole team. Every bad thing that happens is not everyone's fault but his. He had a rating of 70.9 this past year. He had more interceptions than ever before. Those are his fault, not the rest of the teams, and yes there actually is other players than him on the team.

Hey maybe he can run for Governor? Sadly these people here in Wisconsin would probably elect him.

Goodbye Brett......PLEASE....goodbye.

Racism In Germantown Is Bullshit, Eugene Kane Disappointed.

Early in December Eugene Kane wrote this article about a black woman in Germantown whose house mysteriously burned and then a racial slur saying "Dont Come Back Nigger" showed up on her garage showed up. In his article he states things like:

"But as Smith's story demonstrated, sometimes there's ugliness beneath the pristine beauty."
and
"Unlike some people in Germantown, she wants to confront this ugly reality and not just cover it up in the hope it will disappear."
and
"According to Germantown police Chief Peter Hoell, the investigation into the incident, including possible arson involving Smith's home, was ongoing"
and
"To this city dweller, it does seem like the Village of Germantown is more concerned about getting Smith to paint her garage to appease her neighbors than finding out who put the racial slur there in the first place."


well gee, come to find out
1. The poor victim just happened to put most of her belongings in storage before the fire.
2. She has a string of court judgments against her regarding unpaid debts.
3. She and her husband also owe approximately $8000 in back property taxes on the home.
4. A gas line from the kitchen stove had been disconnected; three balls of burned newspaper were found on stairs leading to the basement; and there was evidence that gasoline had been poured in more than one place inside the home.
5. The City of Germantown offered to remove the grafitti free of charge the same day and she refused.

Well once the facts came out and Kane's little column was revealed for the bullshit it was he printed this column in which of course his little ego wouldn't let him admit he was wrong in any way. I mean, how could he be wrong for not knowing the story before he printed his slanted opinion on it? Not even knowing that the city volunteered to remove the grafitti (which was known by others at the time) and making his statement saying "To this city dweller, it does seem like the Village of Germantown is more concerned about getting Smith to paint her garage to appease her neighbors than finding out who put the racial slur there in the first place." Maybe the other people just know how to do their homework before they spout off?

In his new column he states:
"I may be hard-headed, but I think the first column was a fair and accurate depiction of a black woman in the suburbs with a racist message painted on her garage."
Yes, you are hard-headed, no you don't think, and you know damn well it was not a fair and accurate depiction. ITS BEEN PROVEN that it wasn't.

He also says:
"I never cast blame at her neighbors; I wondered why village officials seemed more intent on making her paint over the message than finding out who put it there."
um...why didn't you know at the time like others did that she REFUSED to have it covered up for free by the city? Gee, that was a conveniant bit of info you left out.

and:
"It turns out they were investigating her involvement all the time but didn't tell me that. "
Who the hell do you think you are that they should let you in on the detais of the investigation?? You said yourself in your last colum that "According to Germantown police Chief Peter Hoell, the investigation into the incident, including possible arson involving Smith's home, was ongoing"
So you outright contradict yourself here....can you say "full of shit"?
Maybe next investigation the Chief will stop and say "oh wait, shit, we didn't let old genie in on the details". GET OVER YOURSELF

Finally he says:
"The media aren't perfect"....oh my God, relish it folks, thats as close as this guy is ever going to get to admitting he can make a mistake.

Sorry this incident didn't fit into your racially motivated agenda Eugene. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll find another story you can twist to suit you.
