ESPN: All Favre All The Time

That's what you will see Monday leading up to the Monday Night Football Game featuring Favre's Minnesota Vikings vs. the Green Bay Packers.

The WWL is already basking in the glow of record cable ratings for MNF this season. For the third week in a row, the contest delivered
The largest audience on cable TV for 2009.

The Dallas Cowboys 21-7 win over Carolina drew over 15.7 million viewers - the largest audience for any cable TV show for 2009.

Through three weeks (four games) of the NFL season, ESPN’s MNF is averaging a 10.4 household rating, 10,267,000 households, and 14,044,000 viewer. ESPN’s four MNF games are the four biggest audiences in terms of both household impressions and total viewers for cable television in 2009.

The suits at ESPN are salivating over the prospect of even bigger numbers next Monday when Favre takes on his former team.

The BFMC (Brett Favre Media conspiracy) will hit new highs Monday in preparation for the MNF game that night.

To make sure that no one misses out on the opportunity to know about the game, ESPN will be marketing MNF across all platforms all day long.

ESPN’s coverage will begin with Mike & Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio (also simulcast on ESPN2) live from the Metrodome in Minneapolis at 5 a.m. Central Time. Then starting with NFL Live at 2:30 Central, it will be All Favre All the Time until kickoff.

Fucking sickening. I’m glad I’m not Minnesotahorn or Stuckinmn or I’d be Suicidalinminn. Watch him get the Norsemen to the SB and get all the credit, when anybody with any sporting honesty knows it’s a classic case of Elway riding his Terrell Davis.

Go Pack!

The fun game will be when the Vikes go to Green Bay and the good people of Wisconsin let Brett know how they feel.

“I’m glad I’m not Minnesotahorn or Stuckinmn or I’d be Suicidalinminn”

You are correct, but if you had the misfortune of living here, Favre mania would be the least of your worries. However, I believe Minnesotahorn actually lives in Texas but is from Minnesota, showing that he is a much smarter man than me, who did the exact opposite.

Favre divides Minnesotans into three basic groups-

Packer fans that live here comprise a substantial minority and obviously hate him as a traitor and prima donna.

Some die hard Vikings fans have grown to loathe him over the years and still don’t like him. As one co-worker in this group put it- “how would you feel if Sam Bradford transferred to Texas?”

Finally you have the casual fans and bandwagoners that think he is the greatest thing since Fran Tarkenton and will lead them to the promised land. This last group is easily the largest, but there are plenty in the other 2 camps.

How are they ever going to manage their scheduling between the BFMC and the resurrection of the Tebow.

Here’s for Farve getting Tebowed. Bomared. Bradforded.

I’m pretty apologetic about the whole Farve thing. I completely understand how aggraveting the entire circus is that surrounds him and I’m about as tired of it as anyone. In order to cheer for the team I grew up following with my father and grandfather I have to hope he does well but there’s some serious nose holding.

Having said that, pretty much anything beowulf opposes is good for America and humanity so I may have to rethink this.
