I Told You So

Wait a second Brett Favre is beginning to grumble in Minnesota? Nooo, say it ain't so.

In case you missed it, Brett Favre came out after the blowout loss to the Matt Moore led Carolina Panthers and told the world about a sideline conversation he had with his head coach. You can watch the presser here.

Favre, oddly putting himself ahead of the team, felt it was important to share this one-on-one conversation with the world. I don't want to call the gunslinging-wrangler-wearing-graybeard selfish...so I'll call him self-esque. Isn't this EXACTLY the kind of thing that should be handled internally?

"But wait, Trip. If it is handled internally nobody would ever know that the conversation took place and why is that a good thing?...Oh, because it doesn't risk dividing the locker room...and I guess it doesn't make the coach look bad in front of the entire team...and I guess there's the whole professionalism aspect...NEVERMIND."

This is exactly why the Vikings won't win the Super Bowl. Favre can't help it, he is what he is...a prima donna. It's like that documentary, by Werner Herzog, about the nut job that lived with Grizzly Bears. This guy rolled around in bear piss, growled at the bears, fed the bears and everything seemed to be going along smoothly until suddenly the Grizzlies remembered that they were 800 lbs. bears and ate him. Favre is the bear. Childress really thought that he had trained this guy into becoming the second coming of Joe Montana. No interceptions, lots of touchdown passes, and a plesure to work with on and off the field. I'm not sure of it but a source told me that Childress uses those blue urinal cakes as deodorant.

It was only a matter of time. Asking Favre to be selfless is like asking Tiger to be faithful to one mistress. [editor's note- Is it just me or is it maybe the funniest thing ever that the Cheetettes seem appalled that they weren't the ONLY one, other than his wife I mean. Genuinely upset that Tiger was catting around with other mistresses. The Today Show, Good Morning America, et al seem to give side with this premise. They actually position themselves as sympathetic to these whores',  excuse me, sluts' plight.]  

I wouldn't trade Favre for a long snapper...by the way the Steelers really need one because Greg Warren tore his ACL on the PAT to win the game yesterday.

I can't wait until Brett's final pass of the season is caught by the OTHER TEAM.
