I heard something today that struck me as a bit odd - that being the NAACP has tabbed the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to be their keynote speaker at an upcoming convention.  I guess I'm not real sure that Wright's anti-American and hateful comments do a whole lot to advance the cause of the organization.  I'm sure he has done many good things for his congregation and neighborhood in Chicago but there must be others out there who have done as much, if not more, good and haven't asked God to damn America or accused the government of introducing AIDS in a plot to kill African Americans.  The NAACP is a viable organization and can certainly choose the speaker they want - I just wonder if they could have made a better choice.  What do you think?

Green Bay - Oct. 14, 2028 - The Packers announced today that their second year quarterback will be lost for the season after suffering a knee injury last week in a game against the Giants.  Brett Favre, the 59 year old Hall of Famer, contacted coach Mike McCarthy Jr. and offered to come out of retirement to help the team out.  Favre made similar offers in 2008, 2015, 2018, and 2025 but the team did not have him back on any of those occasions.  Favre, in an emotional announcement, said he still missed the game, knew he could still play at a high level,  and knew he was still loved in Titletown and just wanted to help.  He added that he had finally completed work on his estate in Hattiesburg and had plenty of time on his hands.  The coach reportedly told Favre to stand by and he would contact him after the season's final game to see if he still felt the same and they would talk about next year.  McCarthy Jr. also inquired about the status of Favre filing his retirement papers with the league to which Favre responded "oh yeah, Deanna mentioned something about that last night - I guess I'll get to it one of these days".
