Back in the ‘90s, it’s fairly well known that the Three Amigos (Favre, Winters, and Chmura) committed some “indiscretions”.
What’s lesser known is that the Packers organization hired the young ladies who participated in these indiscretions. They became communication specialists for the Packers.
What’s also lesser known is that Mike Holmgren hired the millionaire son of Bed, Bath and Beyond CEO Steven Temares to be Favre’s back-up quarterback. Bed, Bath and Beyond was one of the local Green Bay businesses behind the sponsorship of Holmgren Way.
Holmgren knew how to take care of his own and that, maybe above all other reasons, was why the Packers were able to go on a successful Super Bowl run in ’96-’97.
Of course, the Packers and Holmgren never behaved in such a manner. Packer fans and Wisconsinites would have never stood for such incompetency and lack of integrity.
Apparently, sports and politics are revered differently.
Last month, Governor Walker hired the 26-year-old mistress of a Republican state senator, making her one of the capitol’s communication specialists. Not only did this 26-year-old receive a state job but a salary which is 35% higher than her predecessor. (We’re broke don’t you know.)
Today, it’s reported that Walker hired another 20-something person to bring vibrancy and expertise to the capitol. Brian Deschane, a person with no college degree, little management experience, and two drunken-driving convictions, was hired to oversee the state’s environmental and regulatory matters.
Deschane will earn $81,500-per-year, a raise of 26% over his predecessor. Deschane’s qualifications? No, he wasn’t an adulterer. His father is the executive vice president for the Wisconsin Builders Association, an organization that gave the Walker campaign over $121,000 in donations. (We have a deficit to address after all.)
As a Wisconsinite and public school teacher, I’ve been thrust into purchasing box seats for the season. Anyone want my season tickets?
