Sleeping In
Whatever you do - take care of your shoes
If you hate Brett Favre, and call yourself a Packers fan. Fuck off.
God I hate him. I can’t help it. I’m embarrassed that I let the game fool me into thinking he was a good person. I’m ashamed it took me until he signed with the Vikings to realize how big of a choke artist he really was. He literally threw terrible, victory crushing interceptions EVERY playoff game during the 2nd half of his career. Thank god he wasn’t our QB last year or he would’ve thrown a couple picks in the 2nd half of the NFC Championship. And he’s a vengeful asshole to boot.
It may come off a bit harsh but it’s 100% true. The guy was, and still is, an asshole. He had the whole country duped for close to two decades. Now, he’s been outed as a spiteful jerkoff, a bad teammate, a choke artist, and an unfaithful husband with a tiny cock. Don’t get me wrong, some of my greatest memories are watching Favre and the Pack in the late 90s and 2000s; but he blew it in terms of preserving any sort of a positive legacy.
Look at Favre’s six playoff appearances in the last decade:
‘09-‘10 NFC Championship: (Vikings 28, Saints 31)
Favre (wearing purple) throws an interception with 10 seconds to go in the NFC Championship costing the Vikings a field goal attempt that could have sent them to the Super Bowl.
‘07-08 NFC Championship: (Packers 20, Giants 23)
Favre throws an interception on the first drive of OT which leads to the game winning field goal by the Giants, sending them to the Super Bowl.
‘04-‘05 Wild Card Game: (Packers 17, Vikings 31)
Favre throws 4 picks as the Packers get crushed by the rival 8-8 Vikings at Lambeau Field.
‘03-‘04 Divisional Round: (Packers 17, Eagles 20)
After ::shudders:: ‘4th and 26’ sends the game into OT, Favre throws a pick to Brian Dawkins which leads to the winning field goal by the Eagles.
‘02-‘03 Wild Card: (Packers 7, Falcons 27)
Favre gets owned by Vick at Lambeau. Ends game with 2 interceptions and a lost fumble.
‘01-02 Divisional Round (Packers 17, Rams 45)
Favre throws an NFL playoff record 6 (SIX!) interceptions as the Pack gets pounded by Kurt Warner and the Rams.
Looking back at this list I can’t believe we all still worshiped the man when he “retired” from the Packers after the 2007-2008 season. One of the biggest choke artist to ever play in the NFL. He did get a victory in XXXI, which I applaud (although I give most the credit for that Championship to Desmond Howard and the Minister of Defense).
So fuck off for being anti-Favre? I think not. Open your eyes. The destruction of his legacy is his own damn fault. Maybe 5 or 10 years down the road, I’ll forgive him. Until then, fuck off Brett.
Run for the Roses Bucky!
Just drunkenly designed the Packer tattoo that I will someday have in the middle of my upper back.
The nice thing is I can just keep adding Super Bowl logos over the years as we win more and more championships. My back should be completely covered by, say, 2025?
