Packers bed a cheesy creation

Can't get enough cheese in your life?

Is wearing a hunk of foam cheddar on your head during Green Bay Packers games just not doing it for you anymore?

Well, take a Lambeau Leap of joy and rest your head on the Cheesehead Bed, which was introduced this week by the Milwaukee-based Verlo Mattress Factory.

While a novelty item, the Cheesehead Bed is billed as a legitimate, high-quality sleep product that features a memory foam mattress encased in a gold-colored cover resembling a block of cheese.

The beds will be sold at a discounted price for 24 hours after a Packers win, and a free bed will be delivered personally by former Green Bay safety LeRoy Butler to the winner of a "Who has the Cheesiest Bedroom" contest on Facebook.

While a Cheesehead Bed could enrich the life of a diehard Packers fan, we're guessing it always will be missing one thing - a woman.

Unless she's a huge Green Bay fan - perhaps literally - she probably won't be thrilled when she realizes her late-night invitation for wine and cheese actually meant hearing her date whine atop a queen-sized bed of foam provolone.

If "Seinfeld" were still on the air, George Costanza would surely melt into a Cheesehead Bed. His short-lived vision of bachelor paradise on "The Foundation" episode involved a giant hunk of cheese.

"I was free and clear! I was living the dream!" he told Jerry. "I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!"

■ SOCK IT TO ME - Socks aren't high on anybody's holiday wish list, but they were a big hit when Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III handed them out on Halloween at his Leesburg, Va., home.

RG3 has a sock line with adidas and shared them with unsuspecting trick-or-treaters, who excitedly expressed their appreciation on Twitter.

"Went to your house tonight all dressed up ... I got these awesome socks from your fiance!" wrote one fan.

Another wrote, "Your Halloween socks were amazing thanks."

While the rare gesture by a pro athlete was pretty cool, we haven't seen fans this excited about socks since Boston won the 2004 World Series.

The socks even made one fan want to start a family.

"I wish I had a child on nights like this! @RGIII was giving out socks! So cooool!" she wrote.

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been had Michael Jordan handed out Hanes underwear at his house?

■ JIMMER TIME - Kings guard Jimmer Fredette saw only six seconds of action in Sacramento's season opener, but - with apologies to Brigham Young fans for the following punch line - he still jacked up six shots.

■ LIGHTEN UP - You have to admire Josh Sundquist's sense of humor. A Paralympian swimmer who lost his left leg to cancer when he was 10, Sundquist dressed up for Halloween as the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story."

Seeing as he posted a picture of himself wearing the costume on his website, we're sure he won't mind us warning him to be careful, or else "You'll kick your eye out!"
