His final pass in the NFL? An overtime toss to Giants cornerback Corey Webster dooming the Packers to another ignoble playoff defeat at Lambeau.
Off in the morning distance, muffled shotgun blasts echo across the Wisconsin border. The truth is not in Packer fans any longer.
If you stop to listen closely, you can even hear the soft wails and teary groans of John Madden as he pounds his thighs in anguish.
And on this fine morning, I lean back in the teacher workroom, crack open a cold bottle of Grain Belt Premium, and drink deep, knowing it is the end of a largely frustrating era for Vikings fans.

BOOM!
instead of those clown faces on the backs of the cars on the Tilt-A-Whirl, they should have brett favre’s face.
don’t know why… i just think it’d be funny.
Shut up, Scott! You don’t know me!
peter, if you get fired in disgrace, i sure hope it’s for something with more pizazz than just being drunk. like walking the school halls naked from the waist down singing the school fight song with added expletives for instance; or making your students form a human pyramid like in that iraqi prison while you shoot cat poop at them with a slingshot… something like that.
Brett Favre was the greatest football player ever. I will be wearing all black tomorrow when I return to work as I could not keep working today(maybe it’s because I’m sick). Maybe Thur I will wear his jersey with a black band around my arm.
Jon Lutsy makes an appearance on the JLP!
I’m sorry to hear about your loss, Jon. I thought of you when I heard the news. Through prayer and community, you will get through this.
