What a slow day. Anyone else find those episodes of "A Haunting" surprisingly good for a Discovery Channel show?

"A Haunting" is actually quite good. Too good. I want to believe that they are real (it makes it more scary), but the resolution (ending for those of you in Rio Linda) seems too neat.

We only got 4 trick-or-treaters last evening.

Agreed. Let's hope Kampmann welcomes number four back to Lambeau several times this afternoon.

Favre gets booed.

Wow!

Favre getting boo'd as he takes the field.

#10 | Posted by Lisa at 2009-11-01 03:23 PM | Reply | Flag:

LOL Oohrah!

Although Favre kept changing his mind, I can't believe he's getting boo'd.

And it hasn't stopped!

You need to understand that the state of WI is loyal to their TEAM...not the quartback that kept changing his mind...and did so even after McCarthy told Brett the press release was already made that he would be coming back....TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DRAFT!!!!

The Packers did the absolute right thing!!

The crowd erupted when Rogers hit the field. They boo'd Favre.

The display of loyalty for their team is bar none!!

Favre himself had even stated that WI gave him more credit for having more integrity, than he had.

Loyal GB!!!

They are loyal to the quarterback they have...which BTW..has more passing yards than Favre. Only one less touchdown.

#16 | Posted by Lisa at 2009-11-01 03:32 PM | Reply | Flag:

UGH

Rogers had a clear and open lane to run for the first down!!

Good grief!!!

Good point, LISA. People (mostly) root for the flannel... not a particular player.

All franchises have had players pass through... many have been fan favorites. But just as you root for GB regardless of its roster, I do the same for NE. Been that was since the 1960's when they absolutely sucked. Will be that way till it's decided I die from the Obama death panel. haha

Pfffft....try being a Packer fan with Randy Wright as your quarterback!!

LOL

Oohrah, as for the loyalty to NE, I understand you completely.

Now the stupid penalties need to stop.

Go Pack.

Did someone forget to invite the GB defense to the game today??

#24 | Posted by Lisa at 2009-11-01 04:10 PM | Reply | Flag:

Penalties are a part of the game... maybe not this large a part, eh?

#25 | Posted by OohRah at 2009-11-01 04:12 PM | Reply | Flag:

I don't know Oohrah....it would have been nice had the players gotten the memo that they had a game today.

It would have been nice to see them show up.

Maybe they'll be there by the end of halftime.

I have the game on... off my left shoulder. Been blogging here, doing random stuff on facebook, and some things related to work while consuming some adult beverage. And I've picked MN to win the game, so I'm overall pleased as best I can tell.

Favre is a great QB

I played with his rivals in HS

A good friend of mine played with him at USM

I hope he gets his wishes

Although I'm not impressed with what his college coach TRIED to do at LSU. What a loser

Is the MN GB game over??

How about the crowd booing Farve--just fires up the opposition.

"How about the crowd booing Farve--just fires up the opposition."

Green Bay fans were showing their appreciation and loyalty to Rogers, Murph.

They cheered for him, boo'd Favre.

The people of WI are behind Rogers all the way.

As it should be.

As long as they aren't buffalo chips.

Those things make a big mess on the field, you know.

There must be some mistake.

I'M rooting for Rogers.

You NEVER agree with me on anything.

Sure you didn't mean "Go Favre"?

Rodger is one tough guy. Time ran out on the Packers. Too bad we just could not win it in the end.

Gwad what is up with fucking Fox! If it's not fucking football, it's fucking baseball. It would be nice to watch the regularly scheduled fucking programing, but no! Fox is being hijacked by the hateful NFL, and the MLB! I'll be happy when their seasons end.

The Retort is still an hour behind. I thought this problem would be solved today, but I am guessing Rogers moved to the Central Time Zone.

Oh well, I guess having the Nooner at 1pm is not so bad.

This morning on NPR when they reported that the Republican candidate had droped from NY23 they added the obligatory comment about pro-choice Republican women. Funny, I never hear comments from the media about pro-life Democrats refusing to vote for Liberals for their abortion stance.
