I don't agree with these armbands in principle. You can't put "legend falling from grace" in the same category as "mourning a teammate who has died".

I bet this is just a cheap gimmick to make money, and the fact that they can't even come up with a decent argument against just trying to make a quick buck makes it even more obvious. Almost feels like "er, people might think we're just trying to profit. Well, we are, but how do we make it sound like we're not? Hey, let's trail off the point by making a play on words! Then, er, I guess we'll just have to confess." How about donating the proceeds to a charity? I wonder if that thought ever occurred to them.

Looks like something you should wear if you killed someone with a golf ball.

To be honest, hopefully this hasn't been mentioned yet, but that whole FAQ question about trying to make a quick buck is pretty much bull. Why else would they charge for a product and make a website? Surely it must be easy to spread a message without asking for money....

That is good, R.P.

That is VERY good.

Someone go tell Heather she has to say (On her armband and bumpersticker)

"I know only 4% went to charity, but I love Brett and am sad"

I'm not sure all that fits, but it is needed, imo.

got this in an email...

Favre would have the right to go after them only if they use his name and image to promote it which they appear to be doing?

But going after them would create even more news which seems to be what Favre is avoiding this summer. Or should I say he is trying to avoid. Brett has been silent during this entre 7 week period



What is wrong with this statement?

Does that help?

Ha! Funny you should mention that. My wife and I were at the Fort McCoy PX yesterday looking at cheese hats, and we were both ridiculing the idiocy of them. I consider myself a rabid Packers fan -- I spend too many hours a day breaking down every conceivable angle of the Packers seasons -- but I would never stoop to wearing something so puerile as a freaking CHEESEHEAD, even if they were supposedly invented in La Crosse.

Hey now, cheeseheads save lives.

My question is that about 6 years ago or so (around 1998 or so) I heard about a guy flying his plane either to or from a Packer game with his cheesehead hat on. His plane went down and his cheesehead hat is what helped saved his life. I did hear Al Michaels make a brief mention on a Packer/Viking game. Could you shed some light on this matter? - Eddie, Salt Lake City, Utah

Eddie, your memory has served you well about the story of a Packers fan being saved from a dire fate while wearing a "cheesehead" on a flight from a Packers game during the 1990s (the 1995 season, to be more exact).

The man who credited a foam rubber cheesehead for helping him to survive a light plane crash as he returned from Green Bay to Superior, Wis., described himself as lucky as a result of the incident, The Associated Press reported via the Green Bay Press-Gazette at the time.

But, the AP story then quoted Frank Emmert of Superior as saying he still wishes it had not taken place.

The incident actually was the subject of a 30-second segment produced by NFL Films that was carried during a nationally televised Packers-Detroit Lions game Sept. 28, 1999.

"I've gotten to go pretty much everywhere telling people about this," Emmert said. "I'm, lucky that way, I guess."

But he said he still had pain from an ankle injury sustained in the crash.

"I'd trade it all to have my ankle back the way it was," he said.

The segment that aired was sponsored by Miller Lite, but it was not a beer commercial Emmert said.

"I don't drink," he said, "but as long as it was for the NFL and for a good cause, I did it."

The segment included a photograph of the crashed plane, and then showed Emmert walking through the Lambeau Field parking lot.

Emmert showed how he buried his face in his foam hat when he knew the crash was imminent, near the Stevens Point airport.

A week after the Nov. 1995 crash, The Associated Press noted, Emmert's story was splashed in newspapers and on television screens across the nation.

He reportedly was wearing it when his ultra light plane crashed, and he credits it with protecting his face and forehead, sparing him possible major injury or worse, when the impact of the crash sent him and the cheesehead headlong into the instrument panel.

An instant celebrity, Emmert was invited to ride a motorized cheesehead cart on national television's The Tonight Show.

A self-employed photographer, he had been hired three months earlier to do public relations for Foamation, a company that makes cheesehead hats.
