Just when I think I’ve seen it all, the Packers go and do this. Because they need help with press briefings and public relations, the White House Press Secretary from the majority of George W Bush’s first term is a four week employee of the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers would have been wise to hire Fleischer at least a month ago.  And unless he has access to a time machine, it’s going to be very hard for him to undo the damage that the franchise has already done to its image and reputation with the bungling manner in which the present situation has been handled.

And here’s the bottom line — if the Packers were serious about welcoming Brett Favre back and making him the starter, why would they need a former White House press secretary to do damage control?  Our guess is that this latest maneuver is proof positive the vodka-fueled chess match will continue, in the hopes of making the Packers look like the good guys and casting Favre as the villain.

It should be noted that Fliescher heads Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, so the sports connection isn’t completely bizarre, but this is an entirely new realm of absurdity for the NFL’s number one drama queen-media whore. By the way, it’s been stated that Favre will be competing for the starting job with Aaron Rodgers in training camp. WHAT ABOUT BRIAN BROHM!?!?
