Grit, Guts, & Glorious Winners

Brett Favre is a dick. Everyone knows that. But what we don’t need are hacks like Gene Wojciechowski pretending he isn’t. Wojo can’t understand why the crazy Packers would rather not lose a 24 year old quarterback,  one they had spent 3 years developing , for a sycophantic over-the-hill 38 year old quarterback, who has had one good year out of the last three or four.

Wojo thinks the Packers owe Favre for not coming into training camp and competing with Aaron Rodgers. He forgets the 3 billion dickish things leading up to this point, or that Favre didn’t go to training camp because his little feelings were hurt, not because he is an awesome guy. Because he is not an awesome guy. Remember the whole huge alcoholic doped-up adulterer thing. No? Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

Here are some of my favorite stupid things that Wojo says.

And nice job on accusing the Vikings of tampering (the Vikes were cleared of any wrongdoing). Plus, wasn’t it interesting that someone leaked a story that Favre allegedly called the Vikings on a Packers-issued cell phone (also untrue).

Isn’t it also interesting that Wojo is making the same kinds of libelous accusations that he is accusing Farve of making? Plus what’s interesting about the cell phone story, it is just a boring caveat to an all out media fuck-fest.

If this were a divorce, then Favre would be the one getting the alimony. The Packers were so eager to ditch the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns and victories by a QB that they reduced the bidding war to two teams (the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

First he left out interceptions. Writers always do.  Which is interesting, because interceptions are probably only record the Peyton isn’t going to break. Also, they didn’t reduce the bidding war to two teams, they talked to the only two teams outside of the division interested in trading for Jesus Farve, like you know every other single team in the NFL would.

Instead of Favre — who earlier last season helped lead the Packers to the NFC Championship Game and finished second in the league’s MVP voting — Thompson would rather have three quarterbacks on his roster with a combined zero NFL starts. He’d rather have Rodgers than the most durable quarterback in the history of the game.

Remeber Wojo, helped, that’s a key word here. Since Ted Thompsen is so fucking awesome at drafting players, basically everyone else from last years good young team is back, and will be around for a while. And being a durable quarterback isn’t the same thing as being a good quarterback.  Favre is thirty fucking eight, even if he has a good year this year, he will either actually retire(least likely) , pull the same shit he did this year(most likely), or more than likely really fucking suck when he comes back next year. Remember a lot of things went right last year for Farve to have a good year.  He played behind the top ranked O-line on passing plays. His wide receivers lead the league in yards after catch (which the quarterback doesn’t have any control of).  He will have neither of those things next year, which means he is going to have a substantially worse year, on top of normal regression to the mean.

But if I’m a Packers fan, I fly my team flag at half-mast today. Or better yet, raise a Jets flag.

They’re only $20 at Jets Shop.

Are you a fucking idiot? Your team trades one player, a player who should be retired anyway, and you think they should become Jets fans? What should they do when Favre actually retires? Come crawling back? Root for his beer-league softball team?   Remember a lot of these packer fans actually own the fucking team! I hate the packers and I think that’s pretty fucking cool. Yet, you are encouraging them to become bandwagon fans, bandwagon Jets fans, because their hero dicked around with their team enough to get traded.  A guy who gives so little of a shit about them that he wanted to play for the Vikings, again, because at best his feelings were hurt.  Fuck that guy, and hell, fuck you to.
