And the sweetest thing of all?
BRETT FAVRE LOST AGAIN BECAUSE HE THREW THE CRUCIAL PICK!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
I am literally smiling as I write this.
Understand something, Brett Favre is world class selfish jerk who rips apart locker rooms and destroys teams for his own self aggrandizement wile all the while playing up on his white skin, southern accent and good old boy persona to dupe his willing accomplices in the media (who lick up every word he says) to trick you into thinking he is a decent guy. He's not and he never was. Favre jerked Green Bay around nine ways to Sunday because he didn't want to come to camp. Did anyone ever notice that his decisions to come out of retirement only came after the team had finished two-a-days. Or that once Green Bay decided they were tired of being strung along he wanted to go to Minnesota to (in his own words mind you), "Beat Green Bay." And not because the Packers had wronged him in some way, but because he's a petty jerk who got his panties in a twist because his ego got hurt. Or that in Mew York things were going swimmingly until Brett decided he wanted to throw the ball more because his numbers weren't where he thought they should be and he ruined a good season and tore the locker room up. Or that he pulled his retirement crap with Childress until he flew to whatever backwater burg Favre is from and personally licked his boots and begged him to play, but of course only after two-a-days were over. Or that when Childress suggested that he should come out of a game because it was out of hand Brett was taking a beating, Brett immediately went to the media and spilled the dirty laundry out to ESPN who took up the cause and asked Childress what he thought he was doing benching Jesu.... uh, Brett.
I am sure that last pick will be because some receiver ran the wrong route.
So why do I care?
Simple.
Media Racism.
If Brett Farve was black and did not have a southern drawl he would never get away with this crap. If Terrell Owens (and I am a Cowboy fan and I am glad that guy is gone but he is the most glaring example) were to tell the media that he thought the coach was wrong for taking him out he would nailed to the cross before the ten o'clock news. And I know some folks will say that TO has a history, and he does, but all of Brett's ridiculous self centered crap is also a history. The only difference is that no calls him on it because he's Brett. His history never gets built up because no one calls him on his crap to begin with.
But I have a question.
Let us assume, now that Minnesota has established the rule that star players do not have to come to camp, that Adrian Petersen decides next year that he will not take part in any off season workouts with the team and will instead hang out in Palestine, Texas until two-a-days are over; what do you suppose will be said about him?
I would be willing to bet that his heart will questioned as well as his commitment to team, which is sports slang for calling someone lazy. But white guys don't get called lazy because there is no racial slur attached to being lazy for white guys.
No Brett is not selfish and lazy, he's a coach on the field who plays for the love of the game who's a gym rat and a hard worker which are sports slangs used only for white players never for black ones.
Just something to consider the next time you are listening to an old white guy comment on sports.
So please remember, I am not happy that Favre lost because he plays for the Vikings and is a jerk ( although I am to be sure) but it is also that Favre is the Great White Hope of all the curmudgeonly old white guys who broadcast and report on sports and use these socially acceptable racist epithets. Because when Favre loses, they lose too, and that is something all Americans can believe in.
