Root Beer kegger

Wow! I cannot believe the ammount of publicity this video is getting. Kids at my school threw a root beer kegger party, cops showed up, everyone blew a zero. The video is on youtube and the news is spreading fast. This video will air on the season finale of Dr.Phil as well. Here are some links you can check out:

Sad day for packer fans

Today is the day. Brett favre retired. :( I am sort of surprised by this. I will definatly miss his love for the game. He has so much fun while playing. He was like a little kid out there. But, he needs to do what is best for him. If he thinks it's time then it is.

Because I love Favre here are some facts about him.

*Most AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997)
*Most consecutive starts by a quarterback (NFL): 253[1] (275 including playoffs)
*Most wins by a starting quarterback (NFL) regular season career: 160
(Regular season record: 160-93)
*Most career passing touchdowns: 442
*Most career passing yards: 61,655
*Most career pass completions: 5,377
*Most career pass attempts: 8,758
*Most career interceptions thrown: 288
*Most career games with at least three touchdowns: 63
* Brett Favres first pass was to himself
*Brett was Sports Illustrated's 2007 Sportsman of the Year.
*He has a wife, Deanna, and two daughters, Brittany and Breleigh.
* He went to college to major in Special Education

*The 'Brett Favre Fourward Foundation' was established in 1996. Over the past eight years, in conjunction with his annual golf tournament, celebrity softball game and fundraising dinners, the foundation has donated in excess of $1.5 million to charities in his home state of Mississippi as well as to those in his adopted state of Wisconsin.

*Favre retires as the holder of most of the career NFL quarterback performance records, including passing yards (61,655), passing attempts (8,758), passing completions (5,377), consecutive games started (253), games won as starting quarterback (160), and touchdown passes (442). Incredibly, Favre did not miss a start after replacing an injured Don Majkowski in the third game of the 1992 regular season.

It will be interesting to see what is to come of the Packers. Hopefully all will be well! Brett Favre will always be my favorite QB.
