Just a couple hours away is the start of the Thanksgiving football cornucopia.  But before the game, be sure to catch the full 30 minute tribute to Brett Favre, in the words of all of the greatest stars of every other professional sport.

In a related story, the city of Detroit will be pouring fresh concrete from the threshold of Brett Favre’s hotel room door to the tunnel leading to Ford Field for Brett to walk through, that fans worldwide can worship the greatness that accompanies Favre with every step he takes.  After hardening, the impressions Favre leaves will be cast in bronze and available for fans to purchase at $90 apiece.  All proceeds to go to the Brett Favre for President fund. 

Seriously, this is why some people don’t like Favre.  Enough already.  Let’s just call a moratorium on the Brett Favre idolatry until after he finally retires. 

Please?

You can’t do it in Madden 08*. You couldn’t even do it in Cyberball 2072.

Five wideouts. Spread from sideline to sideline. Like a squadron of Japanese zeroes with Pearl Harbor** waiting in the endzone. Unless you have a quintet of shutdown corners, when you face this formation you’re going to have linebackers or defensive lineman with 4.9 speed covering guys with 4.4 speed.

To those defensive lineman I say: Good luck, fatty.

The Packer coaching staff calls it the “Big 5.” I call it a prudish girl’s worst nightmare. Hands everywhere.

* I have no time for video games, so it might be possible in Madden.
** Nick Saban: “Pearl Harbor got us ready for World War II, or something…” Right. Kinda like how burning down his village and raping and killing his girl got William Wallace ready to kick the snot out of the English.  Moron.

I’ve taken my picks underground the last few weeks, but I’m posting them this week.  Vegas had called, telling me I was screwing up their oddsmakers, because so much money was being laid down according to my picks.
