I don't know what the world is coming to but this week I actually agreed with a Pete Prisco article basically saying that The Brett is an egomaniac trying to extend his glory days at the expense of his own legacy. Apparently Prisco got the by-line but the 10,000 monkeys writing the article should get full credit. Full article here.
"What do a nasty pimple, a pesky cockroach and Brett Favre all have in common?"
You've fellated two of the three and all you have to show for it is a nasty pimple?
"Favre? Nothing will keep him away. His ego is too great. When his body says no, and his game screams "Hell no!" he plays on."
Well "plays" isn't really an accurate word. More like chucks interceptions like escort service flyers on the Vegas Strip.
"Most of the national media will fawn over Favre's decision Tuesday to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, but I don't think it's a good move."
Giving 40-yo attention-whore $12 million when he's clearly well passed his prime, coming off shoulder surgery and an embarassing season is not a smart move? Do tell Pete!
"I keep hearing how Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels -- the two quarterbacks who were competing to be the starter until Favre so rudely interrupted training camp -- aren't in his class.
Well, Brett Favre isn't Brett Favre."
He's actually Barack Obama and until you show me his birth certificate I'm not budging on this one.
"Was every Favre fan and Favre-fawning writer blind drunk last season? Did they see the same quarterback I saw?"
Well, to be fair they WERE watching the Jets so I think that's a given.
"When Favre announced last month that he planned to stay retired, he said, "I didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable."
Something changed in three weeks.
Training camp ended."
Ding-ding-ding-ding, looks like Pete found the CLUE TRAIN!
"Favre has never been a fan of offseason work and training camp. He likes staying on the tractor in Mississippi as long as he possibly can. That's why when he said he was staying retired last month, we all shook our heads and said the same thing.
Yeah, right. Why don't you think he was linked to a network for television work?"
Well besides the obvious? I mean, have you heard the guy speak? He makes Magic Johnson look downright lucid.
"He loves the spotlight and some players who have played with him in the past say his wife loves it even more. She's just Mrs. Favre, they say, when baling hay in the Wrangler jeans, but she's Brett Favre's wife when he plays."
Real. Comfortable. Attention-whores.
"There will be many who will say the Vikings are now the team to beat."
And many will say Da Church of Da Coach has the biggest schlong in 4 states but writing it on the internets doesn't automatically make it true (but it's damn fine rumor!)
"If the arm was such an issue, why didn't he sit down? If that's the excuse now, and we've heard it from the many in the media who drool at the site of his name on the back of a jersey, any jersey, didn't he do his team a disservice by playing through it?
If it's an excuse now, it was selfish then."
Well Pete how dare you!? That's just Brett being Brett. You know, playing through pain, tossing pick-6's like you toss butt darts at Clark Judge. You know how it is!
