The Packers Are Bringing Sexy Back
Before the Bears-Packers game on Sunday night, some of those celebrity types were wrangled up and escorted into a holding pen, lest their celestial superpowers overtake those of Brett Favre.

He's never had any problems in his life or anything; it's not like Michael Irvin or anything. (Or, you know...
