Brownback fumbles on quarterback reference

Lake Geneva -- Apparently U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) underestimated how deep the Green Bay Packers blood runs in Wisconsin.

Brownback, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, was speaking to members of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, who are gathered here for their annual convention.

Brownback was talking about strengthening families and said it was like "blocking and tackling" in football and referred to Indiapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning as "the greatest quarterback maybe in NFL history."

The crowd, clearly partisan in favor of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, jokingly booed him.

Booing continued as Brownback realized his mistake and tried to get back on track.

He laughed, let the crowd noise die down a bit, then said, "The Packers are great, I'm sorry...I'm not sure how to recover from this."

How many votes will he get in Wisc? lol

Can this be turned into a football discussion since it's in the Shark Pool?

I don't think anyone disagrees with the notion that Manning has a ways to go to get to Favre.
