Superbowl Ratings Not Optimal for CBS

I believe this year CBS will be the broadcasting station for the Superbowl. This lucky network however could have had bigger ratings if things had turned out differently during the NFC championship game this week.

CBS execs were routing for the Vikings... and not because they like Adrian Peterson. They were routing for Vikings because the head-to-head matchup of "Peyton Manning vs. Brett Favre" was predicted to bring in higher viewership and higher ratings.

Their worst case scenario? Jets vs. Saints.

Hey, you can't win them all.

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Someone asked me who I was rooting for this weekend in the NFC championship: Minnesota Vikings or the New Orleans Saints.

I answered New Orleans.

Knowing my deep-seeded dislike for Mr. Favre, the counter-point was offered that if the Vikings won the Superbowl, he might finally retire.

This places me between a rock and a hard place. I would love to see Brett give it up. I'm sick of the dramas he causes. I watch football because it's generally pretty drama-free (well not-really but you don't need to follow the drama to enjoy the game).

But there is no way that I want Brett to go out on a high note. Gosh, they might give him a job as a reporter or something and then I'd be stuck with him FOREVER.

Yes, that might happen anyways... but less likely if he goes out unhappy, whining like he always does when he doesn't get his way.

So in honor of my favorite vacation/city to visit (New Orleans) and my distaste for BF, I say woodat?!

More Drama from the Baby

Who is running this team anyway? If you've missed the media coverage, you must have forgotten to pay your cable bill because somehow this is the big story of the week...

Childress vs. Brett Favre

Backstabbing Brett

With rumors flying that Brett will be coming back to the NFL, my eyes roll so hard I pull a muscle. But wait! There's more.

This bastard is looking to join (and only join) the Vikings!!!!! Talk about spiteful. What an ass...

How can ANYONE defend him?

Favre The Traitor

So just when I thought I couldn't disrespect Brett Favre any more than I already do, he goes and does something like this:

Cornerback Charles Woodson says that if a media report indicating that Brett Favre shared inside knowledge of the Green Bay Packers’ offense with Detroit Lions coaches is true, it’s nothing short of sabotage...“He contacted them? I don’t respect that,” Woodson said after the Packers’ victory over Indianapolis on Sunday. “If they call him and he gives them information, that’s one thing. But to seek a team out and to feel like you’re trying to sabotage this team, I don’t respect that. I know he’s been the greatest player around here for a long time, but there’s no honor in that.”

Brett Favre ACTIVELY called the Lions to give them insider information about the Green Bay Packers and his experience there. Although ultimately ineffective seeing that GB whipped Detroit, the principle and actions of Brett Favre speak volumes.

I am astounded. I don't know what type of contracts players sign with teams, but the teams should have some sort of confidentiality clause. Although this doesn't violate rules, if I was Goodell, I'd kick him out. That's as dishonest and unrespectable as Packman Jones.

Brett the Bully

Apparently Brett Favre has always been a bully and still is. His latest antics have included killing an animal, putting its rotting carcass in a bag and leaving it in Eric Barton's locker.

HEY BRETT - STOP KILLING ANIMALS. THIS IS NEW YORK. WE DON'T HUNT HELPLESS ANIMALS HERE. JUST PEOPLE.

What a loser.

AFC East Beefs Up QB

With the additions of BF and CP, both additions which can only improve these weak teams' performance, the league just got a little bit stronger. Are the Pats shaking in their pants? Not yet. Not yet.

No More Hangin Round Chads


With BF starting at the Meadowlands, the need for rhodes scholar Chad Pennington is nil. Of course there are maybe 2 or 3 teams who actually sucked worse than the Jets last year... and that included the fins. So, Bill Parcels being the sharp guy he is, realized Chad haaaas to be better than ... who do they have again??... yeah. Exactly.

The New York B-R-E-T-T-S

These updates have been long overdue. Its that time of the year and I'm back! Here's some food to get you started.

So by now if you haven't heard that Favre, after playing a game of chicken with the Packs, has been traded to the J-E-T-S. I think Brett will enjoy the NY media at first. He loves attention... but when they lose a few games in the first month, his talent and decisions will come under quick and harsh criticism. Worse than his old grand-ole daddy could prepare him for using a thousand lashes with a wet noodle.

Will brett survive the NJ air, playing 'home' games at another teams' stadium... I doubt it. He'll retire very quickly.

Again..

Hasselbeck's Face-Plant

Check out this video testimonial from Brett Farve... recounting the time Matt Hasselbeck did a face-plant while trying to celebrate a fake-field goal touchdown:


Brett's a little long-winded, but stay with-it. It gets good.

The Old Man Retires and the World Cries...

So... year after year Brett left everyone in 'limbo' for days as he debated whether he was going to retire or not. And every year... low and behold he's still gonna play!

Finally a year I heard very little excitement or anticipation about 'omg, is brett going to retire'... all of sudden he is retiring! What happened Brett? Did you not get enough media attention and you had to do something that would make a bigger splash than Randy Moss, the Cowboys and all the draft moves?

But in truth, I think it was smart for Brett. He's looking out for #1 and rather than die off in the next few years with a declining performance, go out while ahead! Not sure it's the best thing to happen for the Packers, but that's not his problem. And for the rest of us non-packers fans, it reduces the threat the GB posed. One less team I have to worry about.

Great personal career... it's too bad you refused to train your back-up quarterback. Now what will your beloved team do?
