Ask Vic Causing Trouble

favre and chewie terrorized the bars, strip clubs and restaurants of northern wisconsin and the UP in the mid 90's

i know lots of people that reguard favre as a complete piece of shit after running in to him during those escapades

even after he "got clean", he would still get shit faced and carry on like an asshole, but thats something that us packer fans in the area covered up and buried for him so the rest of the world could go on thinking our QB was one of the good guys

in reality, he really was a piece of shit

True, but that wasn't common knowledge outside of certain WI precincts. And outside of painkillers and that goofy 1 on 1 interview he had with Bradshaw where they obliquely talked about trouble that caused in the family, it was his later exploits that made him infamous. Unlike Sharper, there was evidence in Packerland of what would happen later but it was very low key. Deanna had a hand in this by smoothing some of the rougher edges and eliding details of their struggles in her book and media tour. All his previous carousing was bottled into one episode of "here is your suitcase, make a choice" and that confrontation was treated as though it was one and done.

FWIW, I hate twitter. For killing language #Newspeak. For turning a generation/society into solipsistic zombies #Addiction. Twitter, I titter (laugh )@you #mocking.

Its ridiculous to use as a form of communication, but so were telegrams. Limited and emphasis on brevity to the point of confusion.

But as a wire service, an alert to something larger and more intereting, its fantastic.

Most if not all technologies have a very positive aspect. The bad of twitter doesn't negate the good, but I think it overwhelms it. That's generally what I think of all social media.
