I can't believe the Jets signed Favre. I'm largely ambivalent towards the Jets but I really hope they don't get burned by putting the most selfish, inconsiderate two-month retiree in pro sports on their team. I can't believe this freakin' guy. His selfishness has potentially screwed two franchises. Way to go, Fav-ruh. What a weez.


Brett Favre: Selfish Jerk

Brett Favre is a selfish jerk. I’m not taking away from any of his on-field accomplishments. He’s a hall of fame QB, a league MVP, and a Superbowl champion. That cannot be argued. That being said, his current behaviour is deplorable. The guy had his big teary-eyed farewell press conference in the winter when he announced his retirement. Between then and now the Green Bay Packers made plans based on the fact that Favre would not be returning. Now the jerk wakes up one morning and decides he wants to play again and is being a whiny snot about the fact that team doesn’t want to roll out the red carpet for him.

I don’t care how much “fire” he claims to still have; the guy retired. When you retire from any other job you can’t show up six months later and say that you want your old job back just the way it was as if nothing had happened. Whether you’re a janitor or a professional football player the world keeps on turning and the organization has to move on after you retire. For Favre to be expecting what he is based on what’s being reported in the news is childish and shameful.

I, for one, largely blame the NFL for allowing something like this to happen. To the best of my knowledge, there is no regulation that makes a player ineligible to play in the NFL for any amount of time after he announces his retirement. In my opinion, there should be a regulation that clearly specifies this and the minimum wait before any kind of comeback is attempted should be three years. That would also prevent idiots like Ricky Williams from retiring just so they can avoid drug-related suspensions. But who am I kidding? The NFL probably really likes having that retirement loop-hole for cases just like Ricky Williams so that their big money superstars can avoid suspensions when they get in trouble. To this day I still think that the reason Michael Jordan went to play baseball was because he got in some kind of trouble that the NBA wanted to sweep under the rug.

Yeah, it's taking joy in the shortcomings of others but BOY am I glad that the Packers lost tonight and that it's all Brett Fav-ruh's fault for throwing an interception during overtime. I sure hope he takes this as a queue to ride off into the sunset. I'm friggin' sick of hearing out him and the freakin' Green Bay Packers.

Well, my beloved Chargers couldn't pull off a miracle two weeks in a row. Oh, well. Losing to the Patriots is hardly a slight. They're an amazing team and they won convincingly. I've said it before and I'll say it again... This time last year was San Diego's chance to win the Superbowl and they blew it with a loss in the divisional play-offs. I'm just sitting here cleaning up my office and listening to the Green Bay vs. New York game on the radio. I can't even remember the last time I listened to a football game on the radio but I'm really enjoying it!
