Even Virginia McCaskey, daughter of Chicago Bears patriarch George Halas, seemed tickled to hand the Halas Trophy over to the Packers after their 30-13 defeat of the Carolina Panthers in the National Football Conference title game. Defensive end Reggie White, the proclaimed Minister of Defense, who turns every podium into a pulpit, said to the congregation, "Green Bay, I hope you're proud of us, because we are proud of you." Quarterback Brett Favre, who has been through a little too much for his 27 years, reminded the flock of a promise he had made. "I remember telling...
