How did Favre play the last time he was under great personal strain (the death of his father.)

Answer: He played his fucking heart out, and the Packers were inspired by his performance. Everyone on the team was at their best.

Favre's wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Favre will be playing this game FOR HER. That's just how he is.

My money's on the Packers. It's hard for me to root for the Packers, being a Vikings fan, but it won't be the first time I've done so. Favre is the real deal; a truly great quarterback, and leader.

They are playing very well right now anyway, and the Redskins still haven't really found themselves.

Go ahead and root for Democracy and the Green Bay Packers.

It's OK.

Washington's year wasn't going to be this year, anyway.

Sorry to say that, but it's true.
