Last fall Green Bay Packer fans couldn't get their hands on a #4 Jets jersey soon enough. I'll admit it, I also found myself watching "the other team from New York." I grew up with Brett Favre. I knew one Packers quarterback. If anything I was happy for the whole situation. I now had two teams to watch and cheer for. The transition from Lambeau Field to Giants Stadium was a little more easy on me due to the similarity in color schemes. When looking at the television on a Sunday morning, with squinty eyes and a headache from whatever I did the night before, green and white looked very similar to green and gold. It was a good way to say goodbye to my childhood idol without having to say goodbye for good. It was very similar to those clean break-ups I've had with girls. The ones where you say, "Yes, lets still be friends." You talk for a few weeks, the talks turn to texts, the texts turn to maybe a Facebook message once a week, and in a few months you don't even remember her favorite color. Comparing ex-girlfriends and sports probably explains why most of my relationships have failed(I spend way too much time watching sports) but it seems to be a good analogy.
Now here is where the J-E-T-S turns into the M-E-S-S. It has been brought to my attention, and pretty much everyones attention, that Brett Favre doesn't want to officially retire. The latest rumors were saying that the Minnesota Vikings were interested. If I really wanted to I could go into a rant about how much I hate the idea of Brett Favre wearing purple. But I don't think it's really that necessary. I'll be the first one to say that Brett Favre was only bringing all this up because he knew people would talk about it. I do not want to be one of those people talking about it. But still, here I am, blogging about Brett Favre and his triumphant return to the football field. If he still thinks he can play football then I wish him well. But I'm sorry Brett, you've said your goodbyes too many times for me to get worked up again.
In five years maybe I will attend your Hall of Fame induction, but until then you're just a washed up QB who wanted to play for the.... Vikings!

Buh-bye, BF. I don't even have the energy to type out your name. I cried when you retired with your wife at your side. I even bought one of her pink baseball caps. But your childish, attention seeking behavior has gone on way too long. If I had a twenty dollar bill with your signature on it I would sell it for five dollars just to get rid of it faster. Well, not really but it sure sounded good.
ReplyDeleteI strongly recommend you get your act together, BF because someday you will have to answer to Jesus AND Reggie White.
Amen.
Wow, this is good...I think I like Candid Carrie's comments just as much as the post you just did!! ha
