I got into football last year while dating someone. I figured I used to be kind of a jock, why not learn to understand the most popular sport in this country? I was hooked. Then of course it was narrowed down to picking which team to root for. Like counselors/mentors, my fellow male co-workers each rounded up a list that was acceptable to say I was rooting for. Well, it didn't matter... being a former New Yorker, it was going to be the Giants.

What a year that was. They weren't doing so well previously and by some magic turnaround, they made it into the play offs in I don't know how long, and then by miracle of miracles... won the goddamn Super Bowl! I was deemed the Giants lucky charm by all fellow fans. So now I've converted to being a die hard fan.

Enough about that. My now ex was and is a die hard Jets fan (snicker). With the latest events surrounding the ever so famous Favre and his media circus he conducts... it's no surprise he ran his mouth better than he ran the game. When he first announced he was joining the Jets, my ex proudly stated that this would change the team. I stated that yes he is a great quarterback, but one man cannot change the dynamics of a team that much. They wouldn't make it into the play-offs. With bated breath I watched their final game. I'll admit, I thought they stood a chance.

Now what? After a humiliating season (most interceptions in one season), Favre is yet again warming up to do his media dance. I imagine him in a field of daisies plucking petals out going "Should I retire... Should I not retire... Should I retire..." He should've retired last year when he was with the Packers. He made it into the play-offs with a great team. His actions reflect the character of someone with low self-esteem trying to prove himself and everyone that he's fantastic. Dude... we know. Get over it.

This article hilariously accounts what is going on in dear old Favre's career as well as what to expect. Great read.
