Favre's Back... Again

Can you believe he’s coming back…. again?

Aaron Rodgers just threw up in his mouth, spit out acidic chunks, swished some mouthwash then got on the phone with his agent, screaming to get him out of the frozen tundra hell/purgatory he has endured.

I argue that it’s the Packers fans who should be more disappointed than anyone. Or is it there own doing they will endure another 1:1 ratio of TDs to interceptions? The Favre love (Flovre?) is too much in Wisconsin.

Or maybe it’s the defensive players on the Packers who should be fuming over this. Can you imagine the young (and pretty good) defense getting its development stunted, not because of their own lack of effort or poor coaching, but because Favre hands the ball back to the opponent so much now (47 in 2 seasons!). In fact, he only has 38 TDs to those 47 INTs in the last 2 years. That defense will need oxygen masks built into their uniforms (please note this, Lukas) because of how much they’ll be on the field (tired defenses give up lots of rushing yards and lots of possession time). Plus, how do you get motivated as a Packers defensive player to create turnovers if you know that at any given moment, Brett’s going to hand it back to the opposing offense? Or does it fuel them to make more attempts to force a T.O., hence fostering poor tackling techniques and big yardage plays by their opponents when the Packers gamble for INTs or trying to punch the ball out?

This is an example of how 1 selfish player can destroy a franchise. I argue it’s even more outlandish and absurd than T.O.’s selfish viral effect on his teams. Favre’s selfishness is cruel and punishing whereas T.O. is just moronic and laughable.

I think I just threw up in my mouth too.
