A Word on Fav-re

I love football..I may have mentioned that already.
And as a football fan I also love all things Mississippi & football related.. except of course Mississippi State (I have morals and values and ethics folks come on now)
The exception to MSU of course is Jerious Norwood. Went to school with that kid and he is FANTASTIC.
Anywho.. because I love all things Mississippi and football I'm delighted and an instant fan of anyone from this state who makes it to the big leagues.. i.e. the NFL. So in 1992 when Brett Favre got traded to the Green Bay Packers me and my family became instant Packer/Brett fans. The sister and I even got Dad a Favre jersey for Christmas one year. And he was a dynamite player to cheer for! Championships and Super Bowls! Mind you, we remained die hard Saints fans..but let's face it they weren't winning like we thought they should. So, as long as the 2 didn't play we could cheer Brett on! It's ridiculous how many records he holds just in the NFL..Favre played 16 seasons in Green Bay. During that time, he was the first NFL player to win three consecutive AP MVP awards. He helped the Packers appear in two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XXXI. Boy could he put on a show!

But then, something happened.. he stopped being the good ol'boy from Mississippi. Brett, in my opinion, got too big for his britches. and in 2008 so began the saga of "Will he, or Won't he?"
My adoration for Favre quickly went down hill from there..
He was rude to local media.. seemed to only put on a show for ESPN and they willingly obliged his antics and frankly, so did most of the country.
And if it only happened once maybe it could have stayed that way.
but he embarrassed himself by going to the Jets.. wrecked his career if you asked me and acted like a spoiled toddler. Then, he got what he wanted heading for Minnesota. I suppose those fans love him. I'm not quite sure. Frankly, my fandom of Brett Favre came to an end when he ended up with the Jets.
Now, I only hold a high level of impatience and a strong disdain for the jackass.
So, if y'all don't mind I could care less about this latest announcement.. I'm looking forward to September 9th. If Brett shows up in the Dome then we'll know.. and if does.. he better bring some Bengay.. cuz you know what happened the last time you were there buddy.
And, P.S. the WHODATS are ready for ya...
