The Ultimate Favre Post
NFL August 7th. 2008, 6:37pm
Early today, TBL joked about doing 9 posts about Brett Favre. Luckily for you, I talked him off the ledge. Instead, I’m going to bring you all his post ideas at once. You know, the ones that have been covered elsewhere on the internet ad nauseum? Well, I’m putting them together in one conviniently skippable post.
Now watch as Intern CRM (I’ve been demoted and forced to type in the third person.) breaks down the Favre-post-ideas, one-by-one.
We’re thinking one about how Favre might handle the rabid NY media
Oh yes - the 36 year NFL veteran and the horrible New York media! Poor Brett.
You think the media outcry after throwing a drive-crippling interception that ends up costing the Jets a game against the Dolphins in the middle of November (I haven’t checked the schedule.) is going to faze Brett Favre? Please, this man has been throwing into triple coverage since before TBL could lift 300 pounds without a spotter. (Read: A long freaking time.) Do you really think a clever headline like “Favre From Perfect” on the back of the NY Post is going to make him consider retiring again? Hell no! His general indecisiveness will allow him to do that on his own.
one about how Favre will single-handedly resurrect the economy in New York and New Jersey
As our commenters will tell you on any random day - the economy is in terrible condition. Or it’s fine. One or the other.
What will Favre do to the economy? Well, besides pumping thousands of dollars into the dungarees industry, not much. Jets fans have been buying tickets to see Chad Pennington throw interceptions 20 yards down the field for years now - They’re sure as shit going to buy tickets to watch Brett Favre throw interceptions 40 yards down the field. I can hear them now “Oooooooh! Forgedaboudet!”
one about where Favre may reside in hopes of duplicating his country lifestyle
Somewhere outside the city, perhaps? I mean, I’ve only been south of Newburgh twice in my life, but I’m pretty sure I saw a tree or two down there. I’m sure Brett can find a nice log cabin next to a stream somewhere so he can wear his Wranglers and wrestle trout or whatever the hell he did in Green Bay.
Also of note: They do in fact have cheese in both New York and New Jersey. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
one about how Aaron Rodgers will never have a decent career because this Favre experience is totally in his head
Is the situation in Rodgers’ head? I doubt it. The only lingering effect I can foresee is the arm injury he might have sustained while setting a record for fist pumps when he heard that the Packers had basically told Favre to shove his comeback up his country-fed ass.
one about how Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy will be out of jobs in three years
Uh, I think that has more to do with the state of the economy than Brett Favre.
one about how the JETS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!
Well… The Colts, Jags, Pats, Steelers, and Chargers are sure things, right? That leaves the Titans, Browns and presumably Jets to vie for the final AFC spot. It’s possible. I mean, they say that “Vince Young just wins football games,” but you have to take into account that “Brett Favre just annoys people.”
one about how Tampa Bay will not sniff the playoffs
Possible… Cowboys, Packers, Vikings, Giants, Seahawks… The Bucs will need to win the NFC South, which they did last year. Who cares, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t winning a Super Bowl with Jeff Garcia and they wouldn’t win a Super Bowl with Brett Favre.
one simply running the list of every Jets starting QB in franchise history, just so everyone can laugh.
I don’t have time to sift through every quarterback that ever donned the green and white. I’ll instead direct you to the 1999 New York Jets - a team that featured one of the greatest trios of quarterbacks ever to inhabit the same roster: Ray Lucas, Rick Mirer, and then-a-spring-chicken-at-36, Vinny Testaverde.
Now, much like Rachel Nichols, I’m spent on Favre. Time to start “Pennington Watch 2008!”

August 7th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
I totally predicted this post.
Intern CRM > Intern Bill > Intern Hef > That Cornell Mathlete

shut your dirty mouth cursed! As a media member I’m not open to discussing anyone or anything besides Brett Favre
/UFC preview coming tomorrow and something on Saturday no doubt
August 7th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Edge of my seat!
/sorry…still pissed Intern Bill’s abortion.

The best quote so far from the Favre press conference:
“I don’t know what I’ve gotten myself into.”
August 7th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
It’ll be the best 7-9 Jets ever!
August 7th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I think extra sharp NY cheddar rivals that of Wisconsin. I’d say now that the Jets have Favre, it’s even better!
Brett Favre’s just having fun, and isn’t that what it’s all about?
August 7th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I still wanted to see Rodgers kick Favre in the balls.
/Lowers head in disappointment

“Brett Favre’s just having fun, and isn’t that what it’s all about?”
Favre is a two faced phoney.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
“Hey everybody, this guy’s a phony. A big, fat phoney!”
August 7th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
so happy he ended up with the Jets, now he will never win again.

I’m going to be downtown Minneapolis on Saturday night for dinner. The crowds should make for interesting people watching.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Wait till you guys see the Braylon Edwards catch… Browns marched down the field with ease! No K2 in the lineup tonight either.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Pinstripes:
That quote was said in jest; I was mocking all the play-by-players, analysts, and journalists that spew that BS all the time.
Favre throws an interception, and Madden goes all ga-ga over how Favre is having fun out there, and that’s what it’s all about and yada yada.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
My running line on Favre through the years is that he’ll be one of the few Hall of Famers to consistently lose his team playoff games by himself!

@Cursed:
How dare you!

I think the Favre story is kind of like a cigarettes.
At first, you don’t see what the big deal is. Plus, it puts a bad taste in your mouth.
But as you keep on exposing yourself to it, you find yourself wanting more… More. More!!!
I needed my Favre fix. Thanks.

I don’t think I’d mind Intern Bill posts so much if other stuff wasn’t getting pushed back to 6:30 because of them.
August 7th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
the guy that does cursedcleveland.com has been banned from doing his own website!

To be fair I didn’t start writing this until 5:45.

“Losing everything since 1964″
Then losing your blog…
Get it?

how about one about how the Madden Curse struck again. I certainly think playing for the Jets is as bad as a season ending injury
August 8th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Here’s what I’m loving:
All the ESPN pundits are blasting Green Bay non-stop for trading away Brett Favre BUT few of them are willing to go on record to say that the Jets will make the playoffs with Favre and NONE of them say the Jets are a Super Bowl contender because of Favre.
So which one is it? If he’s the greatest QB alive, why can’t he help a team 2-years removed from a playoff run back into it?

That’s what you would call “brain activity”
