Fantasic Favre? Get a grip ESPN...

This slight departure from MLB is because we needed a little filler now that the Hot Stove has cooled off and spring training awaits...

For those of us without a horse in the race, the Saints are probably the team you have been and will be rooting for come Super Bowl Sunday. But more to the point, most of us were rooting against Favre this past weekend.

The hope is that he’s finally resigned himself to the fact that he will end yet another season with an interception. But the reality is that he had one of his best seasons ever especially from a statistical standpoint. Favre has become more than that bad rash that just won’t go away. He’s now herpes. Now we hear his return is very unlikely. Um, hey Brett, we’ve been paying attention. Cut the crap. Don’t retire, just disappear.


Even the biggest donkey on the planet has had enough...




There have been many great players who have played past their prime. Jordan was absolutely amazing in his prime. But he’s stint with the Wizards diminished his image. It became “all about Mike” as he had something to prove – that he could still play at a high level at age 40. Great, you can. Move along...

But Jordan and others also had what Favre does not. Integrity. You can’t believe anything the guy says. He puts his selfish interests before his team. He’s a fraud. How many more offseasons does he need to prove this?

It’s sickening that ESPN loves this guy. There is so much ball-washing going on it makes you want to throw up in your mouth. Whether or not you like Tom Jackson, you now have to question his credibility. The following quote is simply mind blowing:

“That’s the thing about Brett Favre, he’s not afraid to throw an interception. That’s one of the things I most admire about him”. (This quote is not taken out of context.)

Uh, what? You admire that he has a tendency to throw a back breaking and game changing interception to lose a big game? Shouldn’t your biggest fear be to turn the ball over at the most critical point in a game?

Jackson rants on and on about his “courage” and how he “kept bringing his team back” and how he “almost” led his team to victory. Seriously? Freaking “Almost”? Yeah, I “almost” drove to Bristol, CT to put my foot in your ass.

Hey Tom, let us all know once you get those incriminating pics back from Brett. Maybe we'll take your word again at some point... But good luck with your next career in janitorial services, at least you'll look good doing it...
