Brett Favre: Real Man of Genius

It has been irritating enough to watch Brett Favre conduct himself like a manipulative primadonna over the last two years and to have to endure the media's bootlicking during his pseudo farewell tour (which included laughable justifications for why he's "the best evarrr!"), but there is karma in this world, and it is indeed, a motherfucker.

Reporter
Somewhere Aaron Rodgers just made a quiet fist pump of triumph.

Granted, calling your division rival multiple times on a Packer cell phone may not be as trogdolytic as heaving a ball up for grabs into triple coverage with your team trailing by three late in the 4th quarter of a playoff game - a true Brett Favre staple -but, wait, actually it is...it's perfectly equal to that. I just calibrated it.

Brett, it's time to go away. Go back to Pigslop, Mississippi. Buy a kickass home theater. Go to the midget auto races. Hang out at Applebees. Enthuse the locals with your stories. Bowing out gracefully clearly isn't a strength. Now I'm just requesting that you leave before someone has to call security.

Agreed.

In fairness to Favre, it should be mentioned that any phone calls he made to the Vikings were made in a gunslinging fashion, and through the entire conversation, he looked like a kid out there, just having fun.

Allsome line.

I’m a huge Favre fan, and I don’t know what the fuck y’all are talking about. I haven’t heard a peep from him since his retirement.

You hear me? Not a peep.

He hasn’t been the same ever since his tight end molested an 8 year old.

The cynic in me thinks that if I was the GM for the Packers I would welcome Favre back for one simple reason.

There is no way they go 13-3 again, with or without Favre. I Assume he will revert to the .500 QB he was for the three years before last season. I Assume he will go back to throwing as many interceptions as touchdowns.

As GM, my job is safer going 8-8 with Favre then going 8-8 with Aaron Rogers at QB.

I want the Packers to play Favre just to continue to punk that jackass Rodgers.

John Elway, once again, thank you.

As much as I hated Elway for being a punk coming into the league, I have to agree with sizzle…going out on top and remaining gone are ‘allsome.’

Hook ’em!

That’s your problem, Scipio-Tex: you don’t understand performance art when you see it.
