Yvette's Bio

**Can someone, anyone, please rationalize the Brett Favre situation for me?**

I bleed purple and gold, green and yellow, and Dodger Blue. Sometimes, I bleed them all at once.

I’m a California native who picked up my sports persona at an early age when I hopped on board with the Lakers and Dodgers fan club. I was thrown for a whirl when I found out Los Angeles didn’t have a football team.

In 1995, I found love at first sight when I learned that this green and yellow team in Wisconsin celebrated their football team by wearing a cheese head. I was in fourth grade and I was smitten from the beginning.

They were from Green Bay and they were called the Packers.

(As a side note, though my passion is writing, I'm currently focusing on editing. So if you would like someone to take a look at your article (hell, even if it is just to get another read!) drop me a note. I'd be more than glad to take a look!)

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.
