I know I'm on Favre's side now, but the constant extolling of him by the announcers still bothered me. Sort of like watching them talk about Obama on MSNBC.
The difference between the Midwest and East Coast: Brett Favre owns a restaurant in Green Bay, with his name on it, and not only is it still in business, but people went to the game there last night! If there'd been a T.O.'s Steakhouse in Philly, it probably would've been burned to the ground at some point in 2005.
