Althouse: "Brett Favre walked solemnly through the tunnel..."

२९ डिसेंबर, २००८

"Brett Favre walked solemnly through the tunnel..."

"... paused to give Ricky Williams a congratulatory pat on the shoulder pad and continued on toward what would now appear to be an overdue retirement. Chad Pennington jogged off the field followed by a horde of cameras, to a chant of 'M.V.P., M.V.P.'..."

The man pulled up a tulip and gave it to him. The unicorn ate it gravely.; २९/१२/०८, ७:०४ AM
Peder म्हणाले...: No one should be so positive about Favre's retirement until a full season goes by without him playing. Or some kind of steak is driven through his heart. One made out of silver and consecrated with holy water.; २९/१२/०८, ७:०५ AM
Kev म्हणाले...: (the other kev)

Ribeye or T-bone?; २९/१२/०८, ७:१२ AM
JohnAnnArbor म्हणाले...: T-bone, obviously. Wouldn't work with a ribeye unless shaped right, then dipped in liquid nitrogen, then used immediately.; २९/१२/०८, ७:५५ AM
kjbe म्हणाले...: As a lifetime Packers fan, I wish the Jets fans luck as Favre now begins his annual game of stringing you out on whether he is going to play next year... or not. The Packers got the better end of this deal.; २९/१२/०८, ८:०० AM
Darcy म्हणाले...: I liked him so much before he changed his mind about retirement -I so wanted him to stay retired. And now I'm feeling sorry for him? I resent this feeling.; २९/१२/०८, ८:२४ AM
Henry म्हणाले...: If Brett Favre retires, the Jets could always sign Vinny Testeverde.

There's not much difference between the two, except that one guy played with better personnel than the other.; २९/१२/०८, ८:३५ AM
KCFleming म्हणाले...: How can I miss you if you won't leave?; २९/१२/०८, ९:४३ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: How can I miss you if you won't leave?

Are you talking about Favre or some un-named althousian commenter?

Favre should retire. He should talk Joe Paterno into retiring as well. They could tour the nation, doing inspirational talks and cooking demonstrations.; २९/१२/०८, ९:४७ AM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: Anyone who goes to the Mets, Jets, or Nets gets exactly what they deserve.

Even though we put in the second string and lost 3 of the last 4 THE WORLD CHAMPION NEW YORK GIANTS are ready and able to defend our title.

Did I tell you lately that the Giants are going to win the Super Bowl?; २९/१२/०८, १२:०२ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Did I tell you lately that the Giants are going to win the Super Bowl?

That is a hopelessly vague prediction unless you specify Which one.; २९/१२/०८, १२:०८ PM
TitusWeHateItWhenOurFriendsBecomeSuccessful म्हणाले...: Didn't the Giants get beat by Minnesota yesterday?

Favre is over. His ass may have been kissed for many years in Green Bay but the New York press is vilifying him today and rightfully so-that Brett for taking New England out of the playoffs.; २९/१२/०८, १२:२२ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: Titus we had the second string. It's when you pick up the bus boy instead of the waiter.

This year Madison Man, this year. Sheesh.; २९/१२/०८, १२:२८ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: Did I tell you lately that the Jets will never win the Super Bowl?; २९/१२/०८, १२:२९ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: They only won the one because Carroll Rosenblum threw the game because he had a bundle on it with the Genovase family.

That's why Pete Rozelle had him whacked. In a very elegant way with a frog man.

(That's a guy in a wet suit not a Frenchman).; २९/१२/०८, १२:३१ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Just keeping you honest, Trooper. I don't want you to weasel out of your prediction if they lose by saying I meant next year.

Note that I originally wrote when they lose.; २९/१२/०८, १२:४४ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: I am pretty confident but anything can happen. We have a bye week and home field. So unless AJ's Eagles beat us we should make it to the Super Bowl. And the AFC sucks this year. So we should be good to go.

Plus I never weasel. I am much more of a three toed sloth.; २९/१२/०८, १:०९ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: But you've trained me well. I replaced when with if!

Who knew sloths could train!; २९/१२/०८, १:३० PM
Issob Morocco म्हणाले...: What about those Packers? Great year, almost as great as the Badgers had in Football!

Happy New Cheers!!; २९/१२/०८, ४:२७ PM
David म्हणाले...: Oh no, fellow Cheeseheads. Farve is not perfect! (But we knew that and loved him anyway.)

Pretty good career, I'd say.; २९/१२/०८, ५:२४ PM
TitusTakeitawayaway म्हणाले...: A hot gay porno would be the Manning brothers together.

It would make millions. They should think about it.; २९/१२/०८, ६:५७ PM
