Favre’s Wife Has Cancer

Filed under: Wisconsin Sports — Tara @ 9:14 am

What a rough year for the Favre family. First, Brett’s dad passes away last December. Then Deanna (Brett’s wife)’s brother dies in an accident a few weeks ago. And now, we find out that Deanna has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Sounds like she is going to be ok after some chemotherapy, but my thoughts are with her and the Favre family. I know how much that sucks.

On the lighter side of this, a few things struck me as being funny from the story above.

  • I did a search on the google.com news tab for “Favre” and the only article that came up on this was from the Mercury News in San Jose, CA. Where is our local online news sources on this?
  • The last three paragraphs had some interesting writing. Like… Deanna is originally from the Kiln.
    “The Kiln?”
    So, what they are saying, is that the Favre family is originally from THE “high-temperature oven.” Wow. Not too many people can lay claim to that.

    1. if you click the thing in the results that says “In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 3 already displayed.
      If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.”, you will see that jsonline.com and the milwaukee channel, along with other sources, show up. i think the reason you dont see any of them is that they all have the same title and they throw out results from the smaller news sites.

    2. Well, I also did this at 9:00 this morning. I looked on the local pages before I searched and they didn’t have anything down.
