I am very grateful to have the ability to work in their shadow and legacies.

- Yeah, you're funny there pal. No need for anti-depressants though, this is WI, we have plenty of bars to drown the sorrows. I can tell you though Ted Thompson is not a very popular guy for his decision, Favre looks good, but is behind a good team right now.
