Live and Let Die

Lately I have been hammering the sports juggernaut known as ESPon because of their sordid ability to determine what not only constitutes as news but also our power to view said news. I'm sorry to say that today that lambasting continues. Why? Because Favre is back that's why.

Let me preface this post by saying I think Brett Favre is one of the greater QB"s to ever play the game.



Now that he has "retired" let's try to go a week without mentioning his name. Unfortunately, that can't happen to the guys over at the worldwide leader, Favre = Jesus and without him life isn't worth living. Favre had bacon for breakfast?!?!? Oh shit, that might mean he is coming back, sound the Favre Horn! (which I imagine sounds like the music from a Wrangler jeans commercial) Favre was out of his house this morning talking to his mailman, who mentioned Favre said something about Kansas' comeback. You know what that means, Favre comeback!

No it doesn't. None of that means absolute shit. In fact shortly after it was reported that Favre was mulling a comeback both he and his agent denied it. Up yours ESPon! Wait, what? ESPon is still reporting that Favre is still considering coming back? Even after Favre said he didn't want to. Favre said he would help the Packers if they needed him? Holy shit, let's riot.

Here is a novel idea, let's leave Favre alone and see what happens. Will he come back? Maybe. Will he get addicted to painkillers again? I hope so. Is he a robot that is controlled by ESPon with sole reason being to keep the world focused on football and ESPon's TV shows? Definitely.



Did I miss something? Can it be considered news if you just make it up? If Favre changes his mind then you will be permitted to inundate the masses with your Favrian propaganda that I am sure you already have queued up but until then please report what is actually happening, not speculation.
