Largely on the strength of Brett Favre’s MVP-quality season, tonight’s Vikings-Cardinals game was “flex-scheduled” into the prime-time slot. Look, I could trot out all the shopworn cliche jokes about the NBC Favre slobfest that is about to go down, but I’ll leave that to our more-than-capable commenters.
Instead, I’m going to give you what you really want… sweet, sweet jailbait crotchshots, after the break…
Favre was actually halfway competent on the big stage against a team he might have played for at some point if I heard everyone on my TV properly. Even on a night when Purple Jesus was held in check and coughing up the ball for an opposing defense TD. Meanwhile, Jared Allen was bowhunting Goth Rodgers all night long. BECAUSE RODGERS LACKS FAVRIAN EYE DISCIPLINE! JAWS SAID SO HIMSELF!
The win moves the Vikes to 4-0, which goes a ways to helping them to another division title, but could potentially help even more with that push Favraro wants when he decides to run for “govenor” at some point.
Passersby were amazed at the unusually large amounts of Favre. Passersby were amazed at the unusually large amounts of Favre. Passersby were amazed at the unusually large amounts of Favre.

You may have heard by now that ESPN intends to set a “world record” for the most mentions of Brett Favre’s name during a televisions program. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls. This attempt will take place during ESPN2’s SportsNation program Monday at 5pm. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls. Supposedly, representatives from The Guinness Book of World Records will be on hand to certify the attempt. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls.
It’s bad enough that ESPN shoves all things Favre down its viewers’ throats, but they’ve confirmed that this phenomenon is no mere oversight or misreading of the audience’s desires. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls. Worse still, this attempt at a “record” shows ESPN is gleefully wallowing in their excess with no regard to objective analysis of what should be a big game—a game which could stand on its own merits without this self-aggrandizing tomfoolery. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls. Shame on you ESPN. This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls.
The only silver lining is that ESPN has given me an idea. I’ve decided to try to set a record of my own. I’m setting the world record for saying “This is the worst idea I’ve ever heard; whoever thought of it should be kicked squarely in the balls” the most times in a blog post.
It’s the second worst idea I’ve ever heard and I probably should be kicked squarely in the balls.
Tonight marks the second of this season’s Thursday night games on the network for football that nobody gets. No worries though, as Princess the camel, currently touting a perfect 10-0 record on the season, is going with the Patriots tonight to get over the hump (Ha-cha-cha!) against Favraro and the Tumbling Manginis.
For those who don’t get NFL Network, commenter Ryan the Intern says you can watch the broadcast here. There might be a live blog tonight. Or not. Yes, there will be a live blog tonight. Check back at 8.
Yeah, this is pretty esoteric f’n weird– which is why I’m posting it at this hour. If you’re still awake now, you probably like freaky stuff like this. On the other hand, if you’re reading this later on, then you’re probably pretty pissed off. Sorry ’bout that. Look at the bright side… we’ll have cheerleaders later today. No foolin’, mister.
Holy shit! Has KSK really gone more than 48 hours without a Brett Favre video? Allow me to remedy this situation posthaste. Here we have a cartoon depicting the return of John Madden’s one true love.
Robert Stack as Roger Goodell was an inspired choice. Seeing “the Stack”, as me and my brother used to call him, makes me nostalgic for Unsolved Mysteries, Airplane and the Beer Baron episode of The Simpsons.
We will have even more Brett Favre videos later this week which is sure to provide a welcome break from the continuous coverage of all things Brett Favre on ESPN. In fact, Friday we will Favre the Favring Favre to the Favre Favrer.
What improbable series of events leads one to the conclusion that reworking a Hannah Montana tune into a torch song for Brett Favre is a good idea? The young man loves Favre, and thus he chooses a precocious Disney Channel child star to speak for him. I am wracking my brain trying to figure out what it is I love so much that I would pay tribute in a similar manner.
The closest I come to this level of affection for anything might be for sweet tea and cornbread. I’m sure if my dad ever told me that sweet tea and cornbread and were dropping out, I would probably stu-stu-stutter too. But even then, I don’t know if I would use Miley Cyrus as the basis of a paean of my affinity. Maybe the Jonas Brothers though. They rock.
Brett Favre burnt in effigy by some Packers fans. WARNING: this video contains an Eagles song. Proceed with caution.
Hey TMZ, if you want to “borrow” some more “exclusives” from sports blogs. I would suggest the following which concerns another sexy quarterback. Trust me, your readers will love this…
[ thx to MC Bias for reading TMZ so I don't have to ]
