"Wow.. I just realised the last month flew by so fast it's almost time for my to add up my tiny bit of earnings again.. sort of makes me sad as I try to push for extra. At least I am pleased to see the readership on my news blog, forum, and website is growing. And I did like the Packers verses Vikings Games.. Dad routed the Vikings, and I Packers.. So we had fun, as I enjoyed Farve Bashing.. Dad asked why I hate him so much.. well he accused me of wanting his signature to sell it on ebay.. .. Which I thought it was just cause I was wearing Bears coats.. but I watched him do the same to 10 and 12 year olds.. and other diehard fans of his.. He really is cocky and stuck on himself.. and his retiring and not retiring and then returning to a non packer team was just the final nail in the coffin for my starting the farve bashing hobby >:) . ,.,.,.,.,Retire...,.,.,4.,.,.,Goood!.,.,., :) But on the other hand he does still play well.. ..But Farves new name from Wisconsin and Packer fans is Judas. Good game .. at least the second half I did not watch the first half." - DNatureofDTrain
