Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

Is anybody aging as rapidly as Brett Favre? I'm not sure how to calculate the NFL record for that but you can probably add that to the list of NFL records owned by his arm and his penis. If you stepped off the street and put on a uniform as an NFL quarterback and then proceeded to throw every pass out of bounds, your QB rating would be around 40. Favre's QB rating after today's game was 44.5. Three INT's today was his worst performance since There's Something About Mary. On the Starr family scale, he has progressed from Bart to Ringo, quickly accelerating toward Ken. Retirement not only seems inevitable but possibly NFL enforced. Thanks, Scoopy.

I don't read much sports analysis, so this point has probably already been made a million-plus times by the press who have had to cover the never-ending story that has been Favre's final years. But his current controversy has to be some kind of proof of karma in the universe - not just for greedily wanting more when he had already left the field when his time had come, but for doing so in such an agonizingly slow and indecisive way, and spurning a legion of devoted fans in the process. He makes Michael Jordan's un-retirements look like reasonable decisions.

I like this performance better.

Also... best Favre analogy comment on a YouTube video ever:

Favre is like a 13 year old playing a video game at 12:00 AM on a school night. He keeps telling himself over and over again that he'll be done after one more season because ultimately he knows what's good for him but every time he's about to retire he feels like he hasn't accomplished enough yet. So he continues playing. Until 5:00 AM in Favre's case, probably.

Penis-boy (alleged) goes 17 for 38 with no TDs and a pick against his former team. Pretty much the same as last week. Was that the sound of the last nail being hammered into the coffin that is the Vikings' season? Or the one on Favre's career? 31 to 3. Sheesh!

Nope, they brought the hammer down on the coach instead; someone who hasn't had the guts to bench the Mississippi Dongslinger and get a hold of his team. More unbelievably is the fact that the new coach is still going to start Favre. Any other QB on any other team that has a 69.8 rating with 17 interceptions on a 3 - 7 team would have been benched games ago. Being a Packers fan, I'd have thought this would bring me joy, but instead it's just sad watching a team completely derail because of one guy who just won't go away.
