When Brett Favre went down in the second quarter with a seperated shoulder and injured elbow, the Packers had to do something they hadn't done in 17 years, find a replacement. Having Brett Favre as their QB has afforded the Packers some luxuries some other teams haven't had to deal with, namely having no backup and not even any trainers. "We didn't know what to do when he hit the turf," said head coach Mike McCarthy. "We haven't had a doctor on staff since I got here. Usually when someone gets injured Brett just goes over and tells them to play through it, and they do."

The confused Packers sent out their punter, who once took a botany class in junior college, to examine Favre as he lay on the field. He proceeded to poke him in different areas while asking "Does this hurt?" until he found out it was the shoulder and elbow that was bothering him. Luckily Favre was able to leave by walking off the field, as the Packers also have no cart to take players away. Brett usually is able to smack them in the face and tell them to "be a man" until they get up on their own.

After that Green Bay faced a tougher problem, how to get a replacement QB, seeing as they don't bother to keep any on the roster due to Favre being unhurtable. They appeared to find along-haired hippy on the street and put him in a fan's custom-made jersey with the last name Rodgers. But, the hippy-pirate played well in relief throwing for 200 yards, 1 TD, and no interceptions.

"I think we're going to actually sign this kid to a contract," said McCarthy. "We may have just found our quarterback of the future. Or maybe just someone who can get us pot and play hackey-sack in the parking lot after practices. Either way, it's a good find."
