Brownback asserts Manning, not Favre, is greatest QB

LAKE GENEVA, Wis. -- Note to Sen. Sam Brownback: In Packerland, it's not cool to diss Brett Favre.

The GOP presidential hopeful drew boos and groans Friday at the Wisconsin Republican Party convention when he used a football analogy to talk about the need to focus on families. "This is fundamental blocking and tackling," he said. "This is your line in football. If you don't have a line, how many passes can Peyton Manning complete? Greatest quarterback, maybe, in NFL history."

Oops, wrong team to mention in Wisconsin, once described by Gov. Tommy Thompson as the place "where eagles soar, Harleys roar and Packers score." Realizing what he had said, the Kansas Republican slumped at the podium and put his head in his hands. "That's really bad," he said. "That will go down in history. I apologize."

His apology brought a smattering of applause and laughter. He tried to recover, saying former Packer Bart Starr may be the greatest of all time, but the crowd was still restless. "Let's take Favre then," Brownback said. "The Packers are great. I'm sorry. How many passes does he complete without a line?"

"All of them!" more than one person yelled from the back.

"I'm not sure how I recover from this," Brownback said. "My point is we've got to rebuild the family. I'll get off this."

4. Well, fortunately that bozo ain't one of us. But that said, anyone who votes for someone or doesn't

vote for someone based on who they root for at football contests is an idiot. Do we really have that many idiots in the US? Geez, I hope not....

Montana > Farve > Manning

9. Dissing the Packers in Wisconsin?

I almost have to give Brownback credit for having such balls.

However, he is still full of shit. Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback in history.

10. Sometimes I'm even ashamed of DU.

in a state that gave us Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, & Eddie Matthews, not to mention the right now hottest team in
baseball "The Brewers" why should anyone care about football?
