Was it the last time? Was it the last Lambeau Leap? (Wait a minute, no touchdown means no leap right? Or did Favre go ahead and do that anyway.) Can Brett please come back next year? We’ve got an awesome fantasy football strategy – start either the defense that’s playing the Oakland Raiders or the Green Bay Packers – and we can’t afford to let that advantage slip away. The Raiders will most likely be just as bad next year but Favre… man, Favre is irreplaceable.
Check out the box score: 26/50 for 285 yards is decent but… 1 sack, 0 TDs, and 2 INTS (1 returned for a TD!). You can’t replace that type of anti-production from an opposing quarterback on such a consistent basis.
So come back Favre. Grace us with another year of setting INT records and defensive fantasy football points. And if not for us, do it for the announcers out there. Where else are they gonna satiate their oral fixation?
Speaking of announcers, all those people complaining that they don’t get the NFL Network? You might consider yourself lucky. In addition to the snoozefest that was last night’s 9-7 game, listening to Bryant Gumble announce a game is excruciating. For a veteran TV guy, he’s just awful as an announcer. We’re not sure exactly what it is but some combination of his voice and delivery for the play by play that actually makes us wish Chris Collingsworth would do more of the talking. Yeah… that’s how bad it is. Time to hire away the “B” team from ESPN.
