Brett Favre is a huge, whiney bitch

Right now, there is absolutely nothing in sports that I hate more than Brett Favre. Joe Buck is for the first time in recent memory a way distant 2nd, with the way that Jon Miller pronounces BeltrAn (seriously, he has to have some type of mental disability) rounding out the top 3. Gir has covered Favre and the mockery that is sports retirement, but I am stunned and shocked at Favre's ability to keep this story front and center in the media for so long. It seems like every day for the last week a new report comes out about some random Packer official or random beat writer/media person receiving a text from Brett about some worthless thing or another. Speculation surrounding Favre: Will he come back again? Will he choose hunting and fishing instead? What will his facial hair look like in his next press conference? Will he be wearing a coon-skin hat? Will he cry? All this bulls*it is SO annoying. FAVRE goddammit, stay retired and shut up or go on a hunting expedition with Cheney. I BEG YOU.

The best thing ever is, clearly, the dominant force that is Packers general management. I *LOVE* the limbo/purgatory situation that Favre has been placed into by the Packers. Memo to Favre from Packers GM: We will not release you. You will not play for a different team next season. You bother us with this "retirement" every year. You will not start for the Green Bay Packers in 2008. We are confused at how good you are at crying when you announce retirement at the end of every season when everyone knows you will come back. Aaron Rodgers, an actual grown man, has yet to cry in a press conference which we like to see out of our starting quarterback. But you can still play football, so, you can come in and backup Rodgers.

Well played. I commend you, Green Bay Packers, and I hope to god that Aaron Rodgers plays well enough to banish Favre into the wild for all eternity.
