Anyone catch the Brett Favre game last night?! Oh yeah, the Vikings played too.

(Editors Note: The Meena has been our most recurring guest on PosseCasts here, and is a die hard Cleveland Browns fan, of which I have the utmost pity for. With that introduction, I give you his first guest post here at T-Rac’s Posse: his review of last night’s Favreapalooza. ~Rogersworthe)

If you’re like me and you have no real emotional connection these days to either the Minnesota Vikings or the Green Bay Packers then you are just plain old sick of Brett Favre.  Now, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Good God, not another Brett Favre blog!  Holy hell kid, get a real job.”  Trust me, I understand.  Bashing or praising, anything even mentioning Favre is nauseating.

But seriously.  C’mon, given the chance to share your opinion, would any of you really pass up the chance to make a few Favre jokes?  Or really not mention the stark erection Jon Gruden sported for three hours?  By the way, anyone else catch that moment right after they showed the video clip of Gruden back when he was a receivers coach for Green Bay and he was having a sideline conversation with Favre?  I believe Gruden ended the segment by saying, “I’ll tell you what, I sure do miss him,” and then proceeded to gaze lovingly and erotically back towards the field, towards the love of his life that got away.  I guarantee that will provide Gruden with any mental images he needs to perform sexual relations on, well, whatever it is Jon Gruden has sex with.

Jon Gruden's Brett Favre "Oh!" Face? Yep.

But really, all of the Favre fandom is just so much overkill.  ESPN literally will probably make an ESPNFavre.com just because they think that since it’s a good idea, others will think so too, like Peter King.  I mean it really has gotten to the point of absurdity.

Gruden also dropped this gem sometime in the second half; “You gotta be impressed he moved the ball from the 1 to the 40.”  Really?  Really Jon?  Do I really have to be impressed that a quarterback moved the ball 40 damn yards?!?  Seriously?!?  Are you smoking crack?  But I guess you’re right Jon, more importantly than any pass he threw, was the fact that Favre was able to move the ball 40 freaking yards.

Brett Favre is Retiring! This is HUGE News!

February 11th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Rest of the NFL

So, if you go to espn.com right now you will see the big news of Brett Favre retiring! This is so big! I mean, it’s even made the cover of a tiny little Titans fan blog it’s so big! I can’t believe He is retiring!

A man named J.J. Jones (doucheville) sums it up best: “Whether this is the final answer or not, thank you Brett for the 17 great years and for coming back for at least the one with the Jets. It was well worth it to see you under center again, regardless of the team.”

He’s completely right. God knows I enjoyed watching him divebomb his team from 1st to out of the playoffs while throwing 132 Interceptions. It was exhilarating! HE’S SUCH A GUNSLINGER!!!! HE’S SO OLD SCHOOL!!! TREDUCKEN!!!

Of course, there are Favre haters out there, but an espn.com profile user named Proscia-Vin (possibly the most amazing name ever devised for a profile. I mean it’s so good, I don’t even know what the hell it means) put those Favre haters and their haterade to rest: “All you people are Favre haters, He should jsut play out this last year of his contract and retire at age 40, He is still in the top 10 of Quarterbacks in the league maybe top 5, but he plays the game the way it should be played, and INTS happen so he can add to that record to because all you haters criticize on that the most but he has 5 other records that take away that INT record… He is one of the best quarterbacks to play this game.”

I mean, how true. Who cares if he led the league in INT’s this year? As we Titans fans know, A high amount of INT’s by a QB does not affect a record in the NFL by much at all. We did go 10-6 with Vince Young throwing 18 picks, and when that stringy old gray-haired veteran Kerry Collins came in and threw 11 less interceptions, we only won 3 more games. I mean, what are 3 games? The Kansas City Royals win 60 a year in baseball!

Heck, Gene Wojciechowski said it best when he wrote in his ingenuously titled article NFL not the same without Brett Favre : “The NFL isn’t going to be the same without Favre — and how many players can you say that about? More than each of his records, that’s the Favre legacy that counts.”

Indeed, Gene. Indeed. I agree, it is very important to focus on this very vague idea of the legacy of one of the 50 greatest Americans than to actually look at his career and realize that he had just as many talented teams as John Elway and Tom Brady and yet only made 2 Superbowls while winning only one against a vastly inferior team. This vague idea of his legacy as God’s gift to the NFL really is a better way to look at things because otherwise one might notice he has thrown more interceptions than ANYBODY EVER. I mean, this vague idea saves us from the reality that he has spent more of his career being Tony Romo than, well, Tony Romo. Luckily Favre’s wife never got fat, she just got cancer.

So, Brett, from T-Rac’s Posse we wish you good luck as you become a Mississippi Land Baron in the rich tradition of the days of yore as the NFL becomes the most boring pro sports league in the world without your presence and your interceptions and your false modesty as you gunsling your way to a 9-7 record while being paid $13 Million. It’s not like Tavaris Jackson could go 9-7 or anything.

So long, Brett. We’ll miss you. On a related note, this blog is now going to cover the Nashville Sounds since nobody would ever want to read an NFL blog without Brett in the league. We’ll be back with a breakdown of the Pacific Coast League right after I figure out what that means.
