In the days of my youth, I would become a Green Bay Packers fan on about October 1st - the last day of the Brewers regular season. I would follow the Packers with at least moderate interest until they we're no longer in contention for the playoffs. Many years, that was about two weeks later.

Then, 17 years ago, something happened that made watching football far more enjoyable than I had ever dreamed it could be. It required me to do double time during the last month of the baseball season, and follow the Packers from week one. On many occasions I would even watch a Packers game while the Brewers were on a different channel.

Today, something happened that allows me to rededicate my Septembers to baseball. Thank you, Brett. Words can not express how much fun it's been.
