Favre's On The Roster

The Packers are soooo excited that the NFL's all time leading quarterback is back that they issued a one sentence press release to celebrate. CB Condrew Allen was placed on injured reserve to make room for Favre, and I don't know who Condrew Allen is either.

The Packers were going to hold a press conference, but then thought better of it. Apparently the communication and conversation Mike McCarthy was looking forward to with Favre went on a bit too long. It was also reported that the NFL has found out that Minnesota didn't screw up the situation with Favre, it was GM Ted Thompson all along, and tossed the tampering charges against Minnesota. No surprise there. Good move by Thompson to make one embarrassing mistake right after another.

Fox News "inside info"

...claims that Brett and McCarthy agree that a qb competition isn’t in the best interests of the team. I believe the right thing to do was to have taken Brett’s phone calls months ago (Ted, you jerk) and let Brett be starter then and there. But since obviously that didn’t happen, I think they should give Brett his trade. I think they’re stalling on the inevitable so that they can reduce Brett’s chance of success with another team.

People act like the Packers don’t owe Brett anything. The man still has a three-year contract. If he is too washed up to be starter, what are they afraid of having him on another team? Apparently, they are still talking trade or some other option. I don’t want Brett to end up being a lackey for the GBP. He deserves to play and they need to respect that.

Speaking of Fox News,

former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer’s our new team consultant. Thats not alienating in the least.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I am sick of...

The cult of personality around Brett Favre. I am surprised Green Bay hasn’t thrown up some Socialist Realism paintings of our great leader.

Its pretty gross

I expect more out of populist Wisconsinites to realize when an individual is looking out solely for his own benefit like Favre is right now. You got your way now, Favre. You punked Ted Thompson. Now what?
