Larry Guest, you moldy Cheesehead, you've done it again, jumping on the first bandwagon that goes by. Still, it's really not surprising that you would embrace a team with a quarterback from Mississippi who has a summer home at the Betty Ford clinic.
Yes, I know you're depressed because of the money you've been sending to Newt Gingrich, but you're headed for a bigger loss tonight, Chedderdome.Don't you understand, Larry - or are you Moe? I know you're not Curly. Anyway, you see, once you take the Packers out of the tundra, you've got a bunch of guys who don't have a clue about winning outside of Wisconsin. Your beloved Packers can't even win in Minnesota, which isn't asking much.
But you should get along real well with these guys, Larry, because you're the ham to their cheese. You must have wonderful chats with another showboat, Andre Rison, who said this week: "I've been used for the last year-and-a-half as an escape goat."
Where will you find your escape goat, Mr. CheeseWhiz? Try Curtis Martin, Terry Glenn, Chris Slade, Willie McGinest, and you'd better not forget David Meggett. Learn how to spell it, because you'll be writing it a lot.
You just don't get it, do you, Larry? You're like your buddy LeRoy Butler, who said: "You just have to remember that you're not here to play games."
Yes, you are. Bill Parcells understands that. The Patriots understand that. And, soon, you will understand, too, as you look for your own escape goat.
New England 35, Green Bay 34 - and hold the cheese please.
