Football Season

As a Yankee fan, normally this time of year I’d be totally into the end of the baseball regular season and upcoming playoffs. Oh well, that’s what happens when you put your season in the hands of rookie pitchers.

So on to football. It’s weird not seeing Brett Favre playing for the Packers. I find myself rooting for the Packers and paying attention to the Jets. It was good to see Brett have a good (not great, he clearly doesn’t know the offense yet) first game. And it was even better to see Aaron Rodgers look good for the Packers. You don’t want to lose to the Vikings in week one.

This whole season there will probably be a weekly comparison of Rodgers’ and Favre’s stats. That’s unfair on both sides. Rodgers has a better team around him and is working in an offense he’s known for years. But he doesn’t have to be Brett, he just has to win. So far, so good.

But he has to work on his vertical on his Lambeau Leap (go to the 2:55 mark)…
