Just Under The Wire...

-The Brett Favre signing kind of bothers me. Not the taking forever to make a decision, or the retiring and then unretiring, because giving up something that defines you, and has since you were 10 years old, is not easy. Not even the wall-to-wall coverage of his waffling on ESPN bothered me because, apparently unlike everyone else that writes about sports, I know how my remote works. When I heard a Favre story was coming up, I change the channel. The only thing funnier to me were the anchors on ESPN complaining about ESPN's coverage of the Favre waffling. If you have such a problem with it, you could always talk to your boss since you are the ones in front of the camera.

What annoys me is that he was so determined to go only to the Vikings. It has nothing to do with the offensive system being the same. He's just pissed that the Packers couldn't deal with his act anymore and decided to move on. Conveniently he's ignoring that the Packers embraced him and his interception-throwing ways for 16 years, going out of their way to defend him and put him on a pedestal. If you wanted to keep playing that's fine, but to go to your team's rival, in the same division so you'll play them twice a year is beyond dickheaded. Given Favre's status as a Packer living legend its even worse. This goes way beyond someone like Curtis Martin signing with the Jets - this would be Jeter signing with the Sox.

-Have you ever wondered if some of your co-workers don't like you very much? You have that sneaking suspicion that they talk about you behind your back and generally wouldn't be sad if you left for another job? Well, as much as that sucks, as least your supervisor isn't breaking your jaw and then everyone else starts celebrating.
