You Have To Be Here

to understand Packer Mania. I graduated from the University of Georgia and have dear friends who are Auburn and Florida alums. But what fans in Wisconsin feel about the Packers is a multiple of anything I have ever witnessed in the SEC.

Case in point: I heard a radio ad this morning for a book signing by Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Favre's mother. Her book is a Favre family cookbook. Now I assume Mrs. Favre is a wonderful cook, but were it not for her son and the Packer fan base, I sincerely doubt she'd have a book deal. And, inquiring minds want to know, yes, you can get a cookbook signed by both mom and son for a mere $125.
