Did Favre Contribute To Job Loss?

Found March 11, 2008 on Mindrite Sports:
PLAYERS: Brett Favre
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers

Brett Fav-rah, you heartless brute, you. Didn't you know retiring from an adoring, groupie-filled league would have an adverse effect on the economy? Why didn't you think about others, sir, when deciding to hang up the stubble and cleats? The NFL Network is placing employees on the chopping block, all thanks to #4...

Who you might ask? Some Republican brute talk show host out to make a name for herself. "All these years, and I didn't know there was a woman quarterback in the NFL...We're watching this in the studio, obviously retiring from the NFL, great quarterback, handsome 38-year-old man, he gets up there and he does this press conference that was frankly one of the most embarrassing...

Sorry Brett, You're Overrated

A lot of folks have been up in arms about right wing nutjob Laura Ingram's comments about Brett Favre's tearful retirement press conference. Why would you even care what she said?

Fox News Commentator Thinks Brett Favre Should Man Up

Via MVN  |  March 10, 2008
With a seemingly endless list of achievements, you could excuse Brett Favre for getting a little emotional upon his retirement. He's done so much in nearly two decades in the NFL, that walking away from the league must have been an insanely difficult pill to swallow for him. An emotional decision to make, to say the least.

So I've been in utah for about 2 and half weeks now...I have been kicking my own butt on this Acceleration program...where you run on a treadill for a certain amount of time and speed at a certain amount of incline.

There's Something About Brett

Via Lynchy Right Now  |  March 10, 2008
You've heard it all by now, Brett Favre is the common mans hero, Brett Favre is the type of guy we can relate to, Brett Favre really does wear Wrangler Jeans, blah blah blah. Favre has done some remarkable things in his career and for that I tip the cap, but unlike John Madden, it isn't in my contract that I can't bag on Favre just a little bit.

Aaron Rodgers = Captain Obvious

Via East Coast Bias  |  March 09, 2008
What was the weird sound I heard earlier, like a million large men screaming "We know!" all at once? Oh, it was just Aaron Rodgers informing Packers fans that he is not, in fact, Brett Favre.
