Thursday night my friends and I were out to dinner and the discussion at the table was almost entirely around the Brett Favre trade. Except for the 20 minutes my friend told us about a fifty year old woman that was legitimetly freaked out that she saw a ranbow in the water comming from her sprinkler. Apprantly to can find this on Gurrilla Mask. As we were discussing all the bizzarness of the trade, someting hit me. Why are we not talking about the Brewers who are in a tight pennat race and leading the Wild Card race, and have an opportunity to make the playoffs for the first time in over 20 years.
The conclusion I came to was this. That as soon as August hits a majority of people turn their backs on the Brewers and switch gears so quickly that all they care about it is Green Bay Packer pre-season...Pre-Season! It seems that every year and espeicailly this year, the Packers pre-season seems to dominate in media coverage. Even last year when the Brewers were still in the hunt and playing great competitive ball, everyone seemed to take more stock in who the Packers starting running backs were going to be, rather then can the Brewers make a playoff run. I realize they did blow a tremendous lead in the second half, but can you really blame them. All of a sudden the support system they had since April was gone because the Packers were playing pre-season games and had a running back controversy! It's no wonder the Crew went and lost the lead, when people pick up and fold on your camp that easily it will shake some sort of foundation that you had.
