Follow-Up
A few days ago I told you of the Wisconsin woman's choice between jail time and giving up her Packers' season tickets. Well, she made her choice and decided to give up her tickets rather than face jail time... but before you yell at her for being completely incompetent, let me let you know some more of the facts of this case. The woman would not have to give up her tickets indefinitely, as I thought she would. She only had to give up her tickets for this year. That's number one... and number two is the fact that she doesn't have the full season ticket package. She's got tickets to two (count em... TWO) Packers games. So now the choice is 90 days in jail or giving up two Packers games... and the choice becomes pretty obvious the other way. In the end, her choice wasn't much more than between her having to pay a fairly normal priced fine or her going to prison for 3 months. I think most people would chose the fine, if they could afford it. And, having already procured the tickets, she could of course pay the fine. But if this is Favre's last season, she's going to wish she had gone to jail.
