Scott Walker's Soaring Praise For Brett Favre

When Brett Favre's retirement hit the County Courthouse, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker summoned the whole brain trust.

The wordsmiths got busy writing a statement for the ages, and they got it out the same day!

Rarely will you see such writing, such emotion, such deep sentiment and analysis tied together so masterfully, under so much pressure, on behalf of a million constituents in a stunned Packer Nation.

I can post the pdf link to the statement, but that doesn't do it justice.

That's why I'm copying and posting the text in it's entirety. It's worth printing out and putting up on the refrigerator, in that old grand Scott Walker tradition.

Here goes...

"Brett, thanks for 160 wins, 253 consecutive starts, 442 touchdown passes, 61,655 passing yards, and a million great memories. Thanks for making us proud to be Packer fans!"

Did they get all that to ESPN and Sports Illustrated?

Heh....he's efficient, both in his press releases and in how he runs the county government.
