Some great nicknames/headlines in the US papers like :

Bret The Jet.
Bret Favre was a hero for 15 years to millions of Cheeseheads. A Cheesehead is affectionate name given to Packers fans that wear yellow foam hats shaped like cheese. After leaving the cheese state of Wisconsin, Fave was welcomed to the city and state of NY.
On friday Favre was introduced to the city and media by Mayor Bloombery. He was presented ironically with some NY style cheesecakes, a sign of broadway and a keyring. The keyring had the message of "You win the super Bowl and I promise you eill get a key". I gotta say I am not too impressed with the presentation of a signed copy of the Mayors book. Is it just me or is the mayor abusing his power, by plugging his book at such an event that.
