Which will happen first?
Is it just me, or does it seem as if Hillary is exiting the stage at about the same speed as the Russians leaving Georgia?

Stay classy, Green Bay
Some bad reps are hard to shake. For example, Cleveland will always be remembered as the city who's river caught on fire, Philadelphia fans will always be remembered for booing Santa Claus and Green Bay will always be remembered as the town where someone killed the coach's (Dan Devine) dog during a bad year. Like Brett Favre, however, Packer fans are apparently interested in an encore, as Aaron Rodgers is (unpleasantly) learning.
Actually, Rodgers should have been able to understand the kid, who was likely using small words. Of course, being Green Bay, the kid was probably drunk and that may have made it harder.
Favre fans have not just been supporting Favre with their words; they’ve been going after Rodgers. And many haven’t minced words.
After the morning practice Friday, Rodgers talked about some of the abuse directed at him.
“I understand it to some point if I put myself into a Favre fanatic’s shoes,” Rodgers said of getting booed. “The things I can’t understand, the things I really take personally, is when I’m driving up to the (parking lot) gate and punching in my punch code and somebody says (expletive) to me. That kind of bothers me.
“Or when a little kid is yelling swear words at me. That kind of gets to me. They expect a high level of play and they miss Brett Favre. I understand that. But the (expletive) and the little kids saying swear words to me, I don’t understand that.”
