A Cheesehead's Struggle to Cope

#4. Brett Favre. Retired.

I am in shock.

I feel like my childhood is over. (Ok, yes, I'm 18, my childhood IS over, but you know what I mean).

Favre has been the Packer's QB since as long as my family's been watching football. I admit that I used to HATE football, and by extension Brett Favre, but I've become quite the fan(atic) over the years, in part because Favre is so much fun to watch!

Favre was my first celebrity crush. I still hero-worship him.

The Packers just aren't gonna be the same. Oh, they'll still be my team, I still love them, but things are gonna be SO different!!!

I'm kinda totally freaked out. The world is a bleak, unfriendly place right now. Where is the cheery green-and-gold #4 to light the way?

Next year is gonna be rough.

Billy Joe Toliver, anyone?
