First I need to preface this by telling a quick story about how I came to learn of this phrase. I was at work flipping through a mag, maybe GQ or Rolling Stone, and there were a few pics of Scarlet Johansson who I think is smoking hot. Anyways, I mentioned to a female coworker of mine that I thought so and asked her whether she felt the same way, or something along those lines. She said that the she thought she was 'guy hot!' I was completely dumbfounded. Had no idea what that meant and asked her so. She couldn't come up w/an explanation or an example. So I cited other attractice women ( in my eyes) like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox as examples. The answer was still 'guy hot.' So all of a sudden I had to wrap my head around 'guy hot' and 'girl hot.'
Now, I was really struggling to wrap my head around the concept. The next few days I continually pestered my coworker for a definitely or an example, but she couldn't come up w/one. I asked a few other coworkers, both guys and girls, to no avail. Finally, I asked another coworker who shined the light on the whole thing w/one simple phrase, 'girls dress for other girls.' AHA! Actually, I still didn't understand immediately until she explained that 'girl hot' meant that girls dressed to impress other girls. To look cute, to get compliments, to look chic, etc.
My world was turned upside down that day. I have gained an edge, a leg up on the famously mysterious mind of the female. Guys....not all girls dress to impress us. How bout them apples!

Favre
Let's get the bashing out of the way first. Yes, he's a diva. Yes, he's melodramatic. Yes, he has 'allegedly', probably done some illicit texting/calling. Yes, he throws a lot of interceptions. His last pass as a packer was an interception. Yes, he dared to sign with a hated rival and even beat us twice. Yes, I'm annoyed at him, but I don't hate him. In fact, after he finally retires in green and gold again, I will love him as I once and always have.
Yes, Favre helped Packer nation win a Super bowl and almost another one. Yes, he's a tough SOB. Yes, he throws amazing, sometimes ill-advised touchdown passes, underhand, lefty, etc. Yes, he has heart, and no one can question that. Who can forget his first game when he came back and won last second, or the Super Bowl win, or the game right after his dad passed away against the Raiders. That still is the most inspiring, emotional game I've ever watched.
297 games. Thats the streak that ended last week. Crazy, right! I'm just old enough to have been truly spoiled by it all. At 31 now, I've been watching Favre play EVERY game since I was 12. I can barely remember a previous QB. When its all said and done, I'll applaud him and be thankful that we had such a great leader, quarterback for such a long period. I mean, lets be honest, I could be a long suffering Bears fan during which they have had 42, yes 42 starting QB's during Favre's streak.

The Mecca
La la la LAMBEAUUUU FIELD
The Frozen Tundra
Football's best stadium. Home of 12, yes count 'em 12 championshiops! More than any other team in the NFL. Yes, I've said it and its true. I've only been to Lambeau 4 times in my life, twice this past year and have loved it every time. Just knowing the history of the place and how many Hall of Famers (and future HOF'ers) have played there gives me goose bumps. The stadium stands alone. The city is small (just over 100,000) and you can see Lambeau from miles away. Fans tough it out hours beforehand to tailgate. This last weekend, we were at a tailgate w/a smoker and had ribs and pulled pork sandwiches in 20 degree weather. People don't mess around in that weather. I saw tons of blaze orange, camouflage, carhartt, north face and lots of cold weather gear. Its completely acceptable to bring in blankets to sign on the cold metal bleachers. Once inside the stadium, theres a beautiful Atrium and the Packers Hall of Fame which I still have yet to see. Its Green and Gold inside and has a capacity of over 70,000 rabid packers fans! Prior to both games this season, they had an air force flyover that gets the blood pumping. And when you win, you go back outside to tailgate more, regardless of the weather because your beloved Packers have just won at the Mecca. Every NFL fan should come see Lambeau Field.
