The best news coming from the NFL Free Agency Signing Period came this morning as Brett Favre announced his retirement after 16 years of service to NFL fans.
The cries of agony resonate from Green Bay. This has been more than offset by the cries of ecstasy in Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit. The Black and Blue division is up for grabs in 2008. No team has a starting QB worth an empty Grain Belt can.
Amazingly, the happiest party to the Favre retirement is Aaron "Chico" Rogers, Green Bay QB heir apparent.
This Vikings fan living in Cowboys country has nothing but respect for the gunslinger, Favre. Always a great watch, Favre was either going to toss a spectacular, game winning touchdown or an interception.
Brett, now that you're retired and have time, slide on down to the county courthouse, plunk down $165.00 and fill out a name change petition. Spell it like you say it, Mr. Brett Farve!
Some free advice, Brett:
Wrangler commercials are Ok, but don't pull a Peyton Manning with commercials.
If I see you in a Viagra commercial, I will hunt you down and beat you with a yardage marker, got it!
Have a nice retirement and I hope to see you in the booth.
Here we are after a full season of NFL football. The playoffs are over and we now have the most exciting possible matchup of the New England Patriots vs. What the $%&@!
This is a great matchup if you're a Patriots fan or extreme optimist from the Meadowlands, NJ. How did this happen to us.
I'm setting the over/under on "that's why they play the game" cliches at three per half hour preview show.
The big winner today was New England. They may will finally win a Super Bowl by more than three points. I imagine an opening Vegas Line of 14 points. I'll be watching the Super Bowl for the commercials again. Tabasco may have something new. I loved that mosquito going up in flames. Monster will waste millions on a bad ad. That's always amusing.
The network has to love this captive television audience matchup. Yawn!
Hey, who wants to take up bowling, crochet or maybe go skeet shooting for the next two weeks? We don't have to spend our time arguing about the Super Bowl.
Goliath must go down and he must go down hard! Go Giants!
I love those Budweiser clydesdales. We could talk about what commercials Bud and Pepsi should do. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This is so wrong. I'll be watching the Fox Soccer Channel soon.
