Green Bay Packers Old quarterbacks are like old strippers, old rappers and older bottles of white wine -- with the exception of Don Strock and that's really it, they get dramatically worse with age. Most people think Brett Favre is just about washed-up; actually, he is washed up. According to Pro Football Prospectus, Green Bay led the league in overthrown passes last season. In 2005 and 2006, Favre turned the ball over 64 times. Heading into Week 14 last season, the Packers were 4-8 and lost to four teams with good defenses (the Bears, Pats, Eagles and Jets) by a combined 130-19 margin. What else do you need to know?
Trust Bill here: This is a picture of two washed-up old guys.
(Note: I feel bad for the underrated Packers defense, which has a chance to be really good this season. I also feel bad for the good people of Wisconsin. In the span of seven months, they could watch the Brew Crew blow its division to the hated Cubs, followed by the greatest QB in Packers history potentially embarrassing himself in his final season, and then Chairman Yi playing 20-25 minutes per game -- guaranteed by Herb Kohl to the Chinese government, as reported by Ric Bucher!!!!! -- and single-handedly killing the Bucks' playoff hopes. The only silver lining is they'll be covered in mustard and cheese sauce the entire time. Could we send an extra shipment of EKG machines to Wisconsin please? And make it a rush order. Thanks.)
Correction: We'll be covered in mustard, cheese sauce, rendered meat fat, frozen custard AND Miller High Life. God help us.
At least we aren't the Vikings, though, who are in the "two years away from saying, "I can't believe we turned the reins over to Tavaris Jackson" era."

here here. and i thought I was the only wisconsonite to think this. may your message spread to the masses.
I doubt it.......
Well, I have to go with Simmons on this one, usually he's right about these things. I hope Favre proves them worng for one more season, just because he's 38 and hasn't been in a controversy in his almost 20 years on the field. God bless him, the Mississippi son.
