Brett Favre is going to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings this year. No, seriously. He came out of retirement…again. And why not?
One year, 12 Million Dollars for the 2009-10 NFL season. Brett-Boy will get 13 million in the 2010-11 season if he plays.
Hell, maybe the Vikings will even give Favre a bonus of a few million after this season if he decides to come out of this year’s post-season retirement prior to next year’s training camp.
What the hell? I mean, sure, that’s quite a bit of cash, but isn’t dignity and being taken seriously worth something...?Especially when he already has all of the cash that he and his family will ever need?
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
I am all for someone working at what they love as long as they want, but Jeebus Christ…In my view, Favre has become a joke with his, “I’m retired. I’m un-retired.” bullshit. Nora Desmond was less dramatic than Favre.
Poor Brett…The Green Bay Packers after years of quality service, traded him to the New York Jets last year instead of kissing his pretentious, “retired” ass, but c’mon Brett get over it.
I understand that playing for the Vikings offers you the opportunity to stick it to the Packers twice this year, but is it worth it? It isn’t for me, but of course, you owe me nothing.
However, I will say this. I enjoy watching old clips of Willie Mays in his, “Say Hey Kid” days playing for the Giants, not wandering around as a doddering old man playing for the Mets.
I like to remember Johnny Unitas in his Baltimore Colts uniform throwing a perfect spiral to Raymond Berry or handing off to Lenny Moore…not as a past his prime quarterback getting beaten up as a San Diego Charger.
I like to remember porn star Ron Jeremy banging Seka back in the day when his dick was bigger than his ginormous gut.
Brett…get over yourself. And now, something lighter…
Some Happy Birthday Wishes!!
First up, my longtime friend, Sherri.
Good OLD Sherri turns 45 today. She was my first true love, and I was her first sex partner. Sherri owes her great sex life to me, because after having sex with me, every subsequent guy she has ever gotten biblical with has seemed incredibly good in the sack.
You’re welcome, Sherri…and Happy Birthday!!
A Happy Birthday also goes out to Schmoop’s brother, and my friend…David.
Dave is one of the best friends I have ever had. He’s rude, crude, and never minces his words.
However, he is also one of the kindest guys I have ever met, and would do anything for anyone…if the “anyone” is someone who isn't an asshole.
Happy Birthday David!! Maybe your “other” sister will show up with a Happy Meal or a coloring book for ya, but for the record, I dig ya.
Have a wonderful Hump Day all. I hope you spend it tipping a few for Sherri and Dave and wiping your ass with an old issue of Sports Illustrated that has Brett Favre on the cover.
Cheers!!
