Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre at a news conference after his team’s 23-20 overtime loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship football game Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008, in Green Bay, Wis.
Somehow I managed to get out of bed this morning and show my face in the office. Thomas isn’t here yet, but I expect to hear from him once he gets here. He’ll get his cheese, I promise.
This morning, the talk on talk radio is whether Brett Favre will retire. I’ve said it every year since the first talk of retirement surfaced, and I’ll say it again. It’s not time for Brett to hang it up. And I don’t think he will. (By the looks of the picture above, he shed some tears after last night’s loss. I can say I didn’t cry. Just felt sick.)

A disappointing outcome for a team that surprised everyone this year. It’s too bad, but I have to give props to the New York Giants. The team, as Tom Coughlin said after accepting the George Halas trophy, had heart. I’ll be rooting for New York in the Super Bowl. Have to cheer for my conference and hope New York can hand New England its first loss of the season. Hey, it could happen. The unlikely happened today at Lambeau Field.
And, Thomas, I’ll be getting you some Wisconsin cheese. You’ll have to let me know what kinds you like best, and I’ll get some (yeah, it’ll be the good stuff) the next time I am in Cedarburg.

Close, hard-fought game all around. Thanks for the great time blogging, folks. I look forward to the cheese, but that’s as close as I’ll get to gloating.
I need to go get my heart started again.

That’s really all I can write right now. Unbelievable.

Sorry, couldn’t help it.

… an interception in OT by Brett Favre. Not good.

Here’s hoping the Pack can move the ball in overtime. Not much luck the whole second half. Almost cost them the game.

Abe, my younger 5-year-old, held my hand through that field goal attempt. I just about got sick. St. Vince must be looking down on the green and gold tonight.

I just got flashbacks to the 2002 playoffs vs. the Niners.
And this is why I didn’t call it. Ugh.

I may be sick. This is too much. Can barely stand to look.
