    You only cover me when my grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer!

    Why the fuck are you cluttering up a sports web site with politics and bullshit from 70 years ago?

    Move on.

    No, no, no. You're looking at it all wrong.

    Instead, you should be saying "Get me Brett Favre's genealogy! I bet that sumbitch's great-great-great-grandpappy was a moonshiner!"

    And another word about writing to an audience, which is what journalists do: Brevity.

    After the first few posts I quit reading your diatribes because they were making my head hurt. Whatever point you were trying to make was lost.

    Farve's family is from south Mississippi, so moonshine is a given.

    If his 3xgreatgrandpappy was running 'shine for the Redcoats that might be notable.

    Well, you'll never know unless you investigate it!

    I bet his ancestor worked as a scout during the Battle of New Orleans ... for the BRITISH!!!

    If so, all these things Farve has done in Green Bay would be, well, tarnished.

    We must investigate. To the InterWorldWebNet research sites!

    I think Host took posting lessons from JDV.

    Maybe Favre's great-great grandpappy was a Union sympathiser.
