Brett Favre loses another one late

[milestogo]

It’s kind of adorable, the way Brett Favre thinks he’s helping. It’s always been adorable. The way that Favre took the “ol’ backcountry gunslinger” label to heart and really thought he was the nameless stranger riding in, pulling his jacket collar up, to save the town from the black-hatted sheriff. What we know is that Favre only ever really succeeded in missing the sheriff with his shot, piercing a leg of the water tower and causing it to collapse and flood the town.

Favre, as has always been his way, dropped in late into the presidential race last week to endorse Donald Trump right before a rally in Green Bay.

Favre, a resident of Mississippi but still identified with Wisconsin (perhaps only self-identified), and under the impression that he’s still beloved there, probably thought he could be the final push. The defining blow. Just like all those passes that were late over the middle with less than five minutes to go. They were heroic, if only you could see what he did.

And of course, Wisconsin went for Biden, the state called this afternoon.

See Brett, the thing is, what Packers fans know deep down is that you cost them more Super Bowls than you won. Oh sure, you cost the Vikings one too, and maybe that undid some of the damage, but not all. Schadenfreude (or is it schadenfavre) is only a temporary narcotic and no real cure, after all.

The Eagles, the Giants, the Rams, the Broncos, all of them know the gifts that Favre will drop on opposing sides at the most vital moment. You could set your watch to it. Favre would get that glint in his eye, start pawing at his imaginary holsters, and then try and thread a pass through six defenders that he hoped would just instantly faint at the mere sight of his heroism. And then someone in the opposing colors would stare on in shock as the ball nestled perfectly between their numbers, ending the Packers’ season, as if it was meant to be. Because it was. Sure, he got one ring, but how many did he leave lying around?

3. Fuck him and his entire family.

People from the Kiln (MS) are just a bunch of rednecks. His whole family is known to be rowdy, violent hicks. Of course they love Dump.

4. Great QB but he should keep his mouth shut regarding non-football matters.

Aaron Rodgers, OTOH, is a great QB and really intelligent. And liberal.

5. You know wht asshole? That v0ote is for every single American regardless how hard working, or tax

paying or gunless they are. That is the deficit of Republican thinking. When you say ALL Americans instead of defining who you feel are "the" Americans, I may listen.
