Tell Us How You Really Feel Packers’ Fan


Brett Favre stories are like Bebe’s kids. They don’t die, they multiply. Every time they seem to fade away, they come back thanks to someone in Minnesota called Unnamed Source. When I find Unnamed Source, I’ll make sure he never spreads any rumors again. Until then, we aren’t going to entertain any stories about potential comebacks, Mississippi practices or any other Favre-related bullshit. However, we will indulge anything that mocks him or discusses any dirt he and Mark Chmura did while in Green Bay. Let the mocking begin.

Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle began the public mocking of Favre by using his name as a punch line while announcing his decision to not run for a third term. Doyle, unlike Sarah Palin, will honor his commitment and finish out his term which ends in January 2011. He explained that he didn’t believe governors should serve more than two terms.

“I know I will regret this decision many times over the next year, but I’m not going to pull a Brett Favre on you,” he said.

It’s funny because it’s true. Pulling a Brett Favre can and should be applied to everyday situations. Try it out the next time you keep saying you’re going to leave the bar after you finish your drink but keep ordering another one. Apply it to the hookup you say you’re going to quit but find yourself balls deep in every time you have one too many roofie coladas like Sebastian Janikowski. Everyone knows that person who pulls the Brett Favre all the time. You can even make his name a verb. “I know I was gonna quit my job but I favred it and went back.” It’s a work in progress but it’s got some potential.

The Ode To Favre

Here’s a skewering look at the media’s involvement in the Favre retirement/unretirement story, one that basically blames the media for why we all pretty much hate Brett Favre now. You know like 80% of you do hate him now. Anyway, enjoy.

Dear Brett Favre

Today, you announced that you will remain retired and not join the Vikings to make up for the giant suckfest of a season that you had last year with the NY Jets. And while ESPN along with its Bristol chapter of the cult of Brett tried to make us believe that this was a story that we needed to care about… to be honest my man.,. we just wanted your announcement to end like this:
So please stop this chirade… and retire with what dignity you have left…

No…There Is Another

Oh dear God, I thought that after this season, possibly next, that the football world would finally be done with all things Favre. Apparently, I was mistaken. There is another Favre and he’s come on strong in high school football. St. Stanislaus (Miss.) quarterback Dylan Favre is the nephew of Brett Favre and he just had a game where he went 23 of 35 for 358 yards with five touchdowns all while setting the state single season touchdown record at 43 touchdowns. Crap, the kid is good.

Does he compare to his uncle? Yup.

“He’s a pretty special athlete,” St. Stanislaus coach Forrest Williams said.

“Somebody is going to get a heck of a quarterback,” Williams said. “He definitely has touch. He’s very mobile in the pocket. We can move the pocket or he can sit in the pocket and make any of the throws he wants to. He has a great arm, a good release, a lot of touch and good vision.”

Double crap. The kid is just a junior, which means the media storm surrounding this kid can only begin to get bigger. He’ll surely go to a school with a big college program, get drafted, and suddenly this whole Favre love fest will start all over again. Maybe he can steal the job out from under Aaron Rodgers like his uncle tried to do this season. Ya know, finish the job that his elder started. Yea, that would be great. Dammit. All we need now is a clone of Madden and Peter King to fawn over him and the circle will be complete.
