My momma taught me that it’s always best to leave the party before you’re ready. Sort of like quitting at the top of your game. It’s just good toilet training. And I thought Brett Favre had it. But no. He can’t stand to miss out on that last body shot or the naked table dancing so he decided to belly up to the bar one more time, when really, he should just go home while he’s ahead.
The trade by The Packers serves him right. While I don’t much care for football, I support the Packers because…well…you should see what happens to me around this house if I don’t. Like, I’m forced to go to the grocery store wearing a giant cheese hat and a Packers cheer-leading outfit with the number “4″ emblazoned on it. So, I go along to get along, folks. And even as a maritally-induced fan, I feel like I’ve been punched in the chest with the blunt end of Brett Favre’s ego.

P.S. Did the shops fit the grrrrrl? Best shoes I’ve ever seen - like Auntie BonBon shoes.

I don’t follow football much, but Brett should have listened to your mother.

Aaryn,
You speak openly of many things on your blog. Politics. Race. Haters. Sex. Global warming. Brazilian waxing. You speak of many things, but none more provocative or distasteful than when you mention the NFL. Please don’t do it anymore.
Love,
A Football Widow

I agree Brett created this whole mess with his annual “will he, won’t he” ritual, and then with this year’s flip-flop. But that aside, the Packers have treated him shabbily over the last month. Yeah, he created a mess for everyone. But the guy spilled his guts for the Pack for 16 years. He deserved better than to be bad-mouthed in the press by the Packers’ suits.
The Packers brass better hope Aaron Rodgers turns out to be a player and that Favre falls on his face in New York. Otherwise, Ted Thompson will need to move to Rockford, Illinois, and telecommute (unless he prefer to have his house in Green Bay burned down).

My apologies, Cheri, for extending this distasteful topic for another two paragraphs. Won’t happen again.

Yeah, what Scott said. And Cheri: If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. I wasn’t a fan of The Sport That Shall Not Be Named either until I understood it better.
