I’m a complex football animal.

The Redskins are my adopted team. But I was born in Minneapolis so I loved the Vikings as a little kid. Then we moved to Wisconsin and I became a die hard cheesehead. I cried when the Packers lost which was frequently! I know you aren’t supposed to like three teams. Especially three teams in the same conference. But what can I say? I’m a schizophrenic football fan.

When I lived in Wisconsin we had a little mantra: the pack is back. We said it every year and every year it was a lie. Those were dark days on the frozen tundra. But I’ve got to admit that the packers have totally taken me by surprise this year. And what a game last night. Anybody see Favre’s touchdown toss in OT? Everybody else in our house was sleeping so I had a silent celebration. I was going nuts, screaming inside, jumping up and down quietly. It was like Mark on mute! The adrenaline was pumping so much that I couldn’t fall asleep for another hour.

Yes, I am wearing my Favre jersey today.
