ds8221 0 #1 February 7, 2008 In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move. Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed. She has never run a City, County, State, company or corporation. She has never been a CEO or led anything larger than an office. She's had a "staff" when she was first lady and first lady of Arkansas. When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the white house, Dick Morris stated "so has the pastry chef". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #2 February 7, 2008 It would be the same if she were to be the coach rather than the quarterback. She's selling knowledge, not physical prowess. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

jimmytavino 16 #3 February 7, 2008 not sure if i can buy your argument...PHYSICAL prowess, size, agility and a strong arm can get Brett out of a jam,,,, if he makes a "mental mistake", or a misread... But, the job of being an NFL QB,, does hinge on size and Physicality, which IS a trait, more likely achieved by a man , as compared to "most " women..... However Brain power, intuition, and , dare I say it??? emotion.......... are some of the traits needed to be a good leader.... along with a fair degree of "experience"... the type of which CAN be accumulated, as a bystander with "an inside track" to a current leader...i.e. first lady... The mistakes that B Clinton may have made,,, either as a pres. or as a husband, surely had an impact on Mrs Clinton....as did his accomplishments... Knowing the right way to approach something, allows one to recognize the wrong way... and while I won't say that I am "devoted " to her, or even a Huge fan..... I will NOT dismiss her, based on hearsay, innuendo, or attacks which she has had to endure, from Politically motivated opponents... Brett is one of the best... Don't know anything about Mrs. Favre... but your comparison is not valid... Never underestimate the THINKING ability,,,,of anyone, based solely on their sex..... Men have had the lead in High Political office,, for all 200 + years of this countries' existence??? How are we doing??????? Not too well I welcome ANY candidate who will work for the common man, and NOT for Large corporations, Big business, Banks, or Insurance companies... j t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterblaster72 0 #4 February 7, 2008 Quote I welcome ANY candidate who will work for the common man, and NOT for Large corporations, Big business, Banks, or Insurance companies... j t So do I, but we certainly won't get a candidate like that anytime soon. Basically, any candidate (r or d) that gets his/her party's nomination is pretty much a lackey for big business. Wish it were different. As for the original post, I loathe football analogies in general, but this one in particular is just plain stupid. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
