To Brett Favre: Thank You
Posted in NFC North
As I heard sports talk radio tell me about the upcoming sit-down between Brett Favre and Vikings coach Brad Childress to discuss Brett’s second unretirement, a million thoughts were swirling through my head, which is about a million more than usual, so of course I had to sit down before I passed out.
I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I feel a little sad that Brett really is the dumb football jock I suspected he was, with an emotional IQ of a kitty cat.
But I really should thank Brett. I’m about 100% certain that traffic to this little blog is going to double in the coming weeks, and it’s all because of number 4. The further he takes this insane personal vendetta, the better it is for me. And all Packer bloggers, really. In thespian circles Favre has become the southern white bread version of Terrell Owens. Or Meryl Streep. High school drama teachers across America are instructing their students to watch ESPN so they can catch one of the modern masters as he tries to make the most of the twilight of his career.
And when Favre can draw crowds to Packer blogs? That’s a good thing.
So thank you, Brett Favre, for building inroads to becoming the newest export to Minnesota.
But don’t think I’m not going to crush you for it, Brett. Consider this post #1 in a series of several about your nearly certain move to the Vikings.

Re; the Minnesota deal… If he goes to play for the Vikings just to stick it to the Pack I think that Aaron Rodgers should suit up for those two games wearing the #4. And as far as retiring Favres special little # 4 jersey???? Screw him.
I LOVE that idea!!
Or give it to a scrub punter or something.
why cant he stand for himself trying to beat is previous team and shut the mouth of ted thompson ? i think brett never should have been traded and he should have been the starter last years with the 2007 he had this was magic .
i think this blog is mostly made to bash on people … favre is a athlete and you are not and will never be .
all you can do is write a litle blog to bash on people .
good job.
But dude - I have a little blog. You’re not even a blogger and never will be. You just bash on bloggers. Good job.
As for the meat of your Franglish comment - you know that there’s more people living in Northeast Wisconsin than Ted Thompson, right? That Brett Favre would take it upon himself to try to bend over Packer fans that supported him when he was a drunk, when he was a druggie, bought his wife’s book by the thousands, packed Fox Cities stadium for his softball tournament…He’d fuck all those people over just to get a shot at making Ted look bad? Go through all of that for two games against the Packers?
If I were Brad Childress I’m not sure I take on a guy who is so bent on playing those two games - what’s his focus going to be the rest of the season?
I’ve gotta run - make sure to give your Brett Favre doll a hug and kiss for me tonight, okay?
