The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth. Those qualities that have made America the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history we still possess in ample measure.

Favre's Next Interception
17 years, 8 good seasons and good riddance to you, you sack of overhyped shit! You can’t throw anymore, you can’t run anymore and you were never very bright to begin with. Your Wranglers suck, you live in a fucking swamp and you look like your back on the pills. Get the fuck out of football, and don’t bother with the drama. We’re not buying any. I’m changing my screen name to Penningtons Wobbler.

Jets fans are so damn stupid. You get everything you want. Chad out, Farve in, new facilities and you blame the coach. I don’t even think Mangini was coaching an asshole to throw the ball in to triple coverage everytime he got a chance to. You got Favre and figured he was the savior. Be a man and all you idiots lay on that damn sword.

Anyone calling Brett Favre the “best football player EVER” needs to get a Cleveland Steamer and a Dirty Sanchez from Jerry Rice.

So to answer the question as to whether Favre carried Holmgren to a superbowl, or Holmgren carried Favre — the answer is neither. Reggie White carried them both.

The NFL Sunday Schadenfreude Special today was 5-Star delicious. As an embittered Vikings fan, I found the Favre Course especially delicious. Bears and Lions fans (and I’m sure a few Packers fans) know what I mean. I hope Favre never, ever retires.

Which game was it last year where Favre had a shot at scrambling into the endzone, but found a receiver in the back corner — but only after he’d crossed the line of scrimmage — by like four yards?
Interceptions & illegal forward passes. That’s Favre’s legacy in my books.
12.29.08 at 12:13 am

Good find on the Glazer article, BDD.
Favre just needs a down-home, feel-good player’s coach.
Like Wade.

Which one was funnier? The INT tossed directly in a DL’s breadbasket for an easy TD in a game the Jets lost by 7, or the awesome fwd. lateral that “ended” his glorious career? The answer: they were both equally funny. His post-game PC was great too, he, of course, mentioned how much “fun” he had as a Jet. Yes, he really looked like he was enjoying that final quarter.

It was ridiculous to watch NBC and ESPN suck Favre off afterwards. The man SINGLE HANDILY ruined the playoff chances for his team over the last month (and fucked me over in fantasy as well… i lost in the championship because his old as dirt ass got me -1 pts.) and all those fucking commentators could do was talk about how great his career’s been. Fucking Trent Dilfer was the king of the idiots as he kept on praising him as the “best football player EVER” and said that they should design their entire offense around him next year. Yes, give that arrogant piece of 39 year old shit a team befitting of his glorious stature. fuck that shit. Bob Costas said the Jets would have never been as good as they were without him… I call bullshit because their division sucked this year and it was ripe for anyone’s taking. Ridiculous.
at least Chris “the only awesome analyst on mainstream tv” Collingsworth was the only one who called Favre out for his bullshit and said he should just retire, so i think he deserves credit for actually saying what everyone’s thinking instead of giving in to the bullshit media conception of Favaro.

Does anyone think there may be the slightest chance that Magini (once the Ravens had their game in hand) told Bretty to mess up just enough to keep Belichick out of the playoffs as well??????

Greatest day to be a Dolphins fan ever.
Shit on the Jets and make Farvaro cry, and cockblock Tawmmy from Qwinzee.
With the Jets, however, the sources say that Favre has been called to what they dub “the principal’s office” and grilled about making bad throws that turned into interceptions. Those same sources say this is not just done in private. Mangini will also grill Favre about his throws in front of the team, just like everybody else.
How’s it feel to be accountable, bitch?

This is the most satisfying conclusion to an NFL season I’ve ever seen.
Don’t overlook that it was also disclosed today that Tom Brady’s rehab is falling way behind schedule and his 2009 season may now be in question.
Next I’m hoping I wake up tomorrow to read that Jerry Jones had his oil money invested with Bernie Madoff.

brett favre is awesome. in less than a year,he managed to throw a superbowl appearance into the arms of a giants defender in o.t., cry like t.o. at a presser while retiring,decide to come back,get told to fuck off by the packers,turn an entire shitty wisconsin town against him,try to tell the fucking LIONS how to beat the packers (which shows that the lions are in fact the worst ever if they cannot beat GB with inside info from Captain Graybeard himself),join the second best team in New York and a fanbase that doesnt give a fuck about him,throw more interceptions than most,and manage to fuck up playoff hopes for a team in the midst of a turn around. you are great brett. please come back so you can further fuck up what legacy you have left.

It’s my great shame to admit that I rooted for Pittsburgh in that game. I was only a casual fan then, and I got really caught up in the ‘old guy past his prime who just wants to win a title in his hometown’ thing. I figure that after that, I now never, ever have to root for the Steelers ever again . . . unless they’re playing Dallas or New England.
12.28.08 at 7:33 pm

On Sunday Countdown today, Keyshawn basically said that Favre was gonna shit the bed. Berman said that there’s no way it was gonna happen. Keyshawn pushed and said that there’s at least a chance he will. Berman wouldn’t even admit that that chance existed. Keyshawn then basically called Berman an asshole.
Anyone else catch that this morning? Can we get the video?

So today we have seen the possible end of Favraro, the Pawhtriats missing the playoffs, Tony Romo and the Cowgirls choking once again, the Birth of the Great 0-16 Lions Season (DVD coming soon) and the Bears losing out on a playoff spot to a loss to the not-Cowboys/not-Longhorns/not-Aggies team from Texas.
This is why I love football.

I love that they were still slurping him after the game, calling him “an iconic figure . . .”
Just fuck off and admit that he should have retired before coming back just to further tarnish his reputation with another 20+ INT season.
