Sports: The Minnesota Vikings take a breather on Brett Favre

  • The guy who won’t retire did a no-show today. Quarterback Brett Favre – who retired from the team where he spent most of his career, then unretired with a new team, then retired again, and now seems ready unretire again and turn heel – is, at least for now, off the table for the Minnesota Vikings. Why? He missed some team functions he was required to be at. Depending on how his post-surgery shoulder feels, he could be back on the table later, though. He’s playing hokey-pokey pretty hardcore for a football player, eh? source

Politics, Sports: Dear Brett Favre: Stay retired, you old whiny dude. OK?

  • Please. Brett. We love you. You’re awesome. You had a great career with the Green Bay Packers. You got to date Mary back in 1997. But you don’t know the definition of the word retirement. You created the greatest dramabomb ever when you un-retired, then left for the New York Jets, then flopped.
  • Pretty please? Now we hear word that you’re talking to the Minnesota Vikings about a QB position. Why? Did Mississippi get a little old and tired for you? Stay at home. Mow the lawn. Cook some burgers on the grill. Run for school board president. Anything, ANYTHING, but play again. PLEEEEAAAASSEE? source
