Casale can't understand the Cheeseheads' reaction to Brett Favre...

I don’t understand how Green Bay fans can boo Brett Favre when he first walks on the field. I get booing him throughout the game. That’s part of the fun. But how can those fans in Green Bay sit there with a straight face and boo arguably the greatest player who ever suited up for that historic franchise?

Let me see if I got this right. Long suffering Packer fans got to feel the excitement of a Super Bowl victory back in 1996 only because Brett Favre was born. If there were no Brett Favre, Green Bay fans would still be reminiscing about their glory days from Super Bowls I and II.

That’s it. Favre is personally responsible for that city, organization and fan base winning a Super Bowl. The only people you can put in his class are Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr when you talk about the most important person in franchise history.

So I just don’t get it. Again, I understand booing Favre, just not the first time he walks out on that field. Those stupid douche bag Cheeseheads owe him. They owe him their respect for bringing a Super Bowl trophy to that one-horse town.

Some players transcend the uniform. I always say that we don’t know these people and as fans we root for laundry. That’s true but every now and then a player comes along who breaks these rules.

Dan Marino, John Elway, Derek Jeter, Emmitt Smith, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning are just a few names that come to mind. Those players are bigger than the team itself because in essence, they are the franchise. Brett Favre is one of these players. For the people of this generation, Favre is the Green Bay Packers.

So if that’s how the majority of the fans really feel about Favre, take down that street sign. There is no reason to name a street after a guy if most of the fan base hates him, right?

And while you are giving back that street sign, you can give back your Super Bowl trophy too because the only reason it exists is because Brett Favre played in Green Bay.

Speaking of terrible fan bases, I also wanted to mention the frauds that are Philly fans.

So let me get this straight, Ryan Howard can strike out 20 times in the World Series and be the biggest choker in sports but you won’t boo him?

Yet you boo Santa Claus, a paralyzed Michael Irvin, kids who fail to throw the ball through a hoop at halftime and Donovan McNabb every time he throws an interception? Is that correct?

Let me tell you something about Howard: He is the biggest choker and the most overpaid athlete on the planet. He did this same thing last year, remember?

Howard got the big hit in Game 5 but he hadn’t done anything up until that point. That showed tremendous balls by Howard to get a big hit when the Phillies were already up 3-1 in the series. Way to go.

I now know my answer when I’m asked who the most overrated player is in sports: it’s Ryan Howard. In my book, a player doesn’t earn his $100 million against the Pirates in May. He earns it on the big stage and Howard is simply the biggest choker I’ve ever seen on the big stage.

Actually, I would like to fight a member of the Howard family. Sometimes I get e-mails from relatives of people I bash. If anyone from the Howard family is reading this, I’m begging you to e-mail me. I will fight you anytime, anywhere.

I would say I would rip your heart out but what would a member of the Howard family be doing with a heart? Instead I will open up a can of Muay Thai on your big, fat ass. We will put it up on Youtube for everyone to see.

I would challenge Howard personally but that gutless bum would never fight anyone. He will just collect his huge paycheck, drive around his Lincoln and not care because he’s a piece of garbage.

Maybe he can take away a ball from another little girl in the stands because it’s his 200^th home run. Wow, what a freaking milestone Only 1,000 other players have accomplished that feat.

That’s OK, I will get my revenge on the city of Philadelphia when the Cowboys come calling this Sunday. Philly is, and always has been, a city of losers and now you all have a poster boy for losing in Ryan Howard. Congratulations.
