Since I grew up in Green Bay and used to consider myself a devoted Packers fan, I suppose I should have some kind of opinion on former Packers quarterback and demigod Brett Favre coming to play for the Vikings. Except I don’t. I long ago stopped paying attention to Favre’s Hamlet impersonation. Retire. Don’t retire. It makes no difference to me. I’m more interested in reading the previews of Diablo III. Ten years ago, I would have been gnashing my teeth along with everyone else in my former hometown. Now, I can barely manage a shrug.
And thus concludes my one and only sports-related blog post for the year.
Since I read your blog daily, and since I do not understand the interest/obsession this country has with professional sports, I am relieved this will be your “only sports-related blog post for the year.”
