The Favre Saga Continues...

Good ol' No. 4...with the help of people like Ed Werder, you just won't go away. You thought you were getting sick of Favre's off-season antics? Imagine how his agent feels...

"I know you're media, but do you know who I hate? The goddamn media! You watch ESPN this morning? Brett talked to goddamned Ed Werder at ESPN, says he needs ankle surgery. Now why did he do that? I've got Childress calling. I've got reporters calling all damn morning. Goddammit, why does he have to be such a goddamned drama queen? Play, don't play, goddamn, people are getting sick of it. I'm getting sick of it! Why does he have to talk to these people? What good does it do? Ed Werder at ESPN! What's he ever done for anybody other than say, ‘Look, look, Mommy, I got this first, ain't I special?' You got problems with surgery, talk to your wife. Why talk to goddamned Ed Werder?"
Brett Favre's Agent, Bus Cook

Excellent. It's awesome for several different reasons too. Let me explain.

1. Ed Werder is a douche so anytime somebody takes it upon themselves to ridicule him, I support it.

2. Agents aren't supposed to show emotion. But Bus Cook has been on the front lines for Favre's yearly soap opera for so long now that he has finally snapped. Dig it.

3. Brett...he's got a pretty damned good point. I mean, the aw-shucks attitude worked for you when you were a bright-eyed Southern Miss QB. It still worked for you when you took over for the Magic Man Don Majkowski. Hell, it even worked when you started popping pills. But you can't really use that anymore. You've become a shell of your former self. Now it's just a 'need me, want me, love me' personality. ESPN just happens to be the biggest enabler.

Which brings me to my next topic -- Just shut your mouth until you make up your mind. Maybe you can't help it if ESPN reporters stake out the high school where you like to check out local talent, but you don't have to talk to them. That's right Brett. You don't have to run the old golly gee routine every time you see Werder's moustache pop up at prep practice. If you have to talk to somebody about The Decision Part II, talk to your wife or your kids. We haven't seen a single report of them leaking something to the media. Deanna is a hot tottie. And her daughter Brittany (on the right in the picture below) is a chip off the ol' block. In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to all Brett Favre communication being done through those two.

4. I held out on the Favre hate for a long time. I mean, it was a really long time. I thought he caught a raw deal when he was forced out of Green Bay so I wanted him to do well. I thought he got a bad shake when he played with the Jets and still pulled for him. Hell, I even secretly cheered for him last season when it didn't interfere with my Packers fandom. But I just can't anymore. His tired old bit has been run into the ground by ESPN every single summer now and the crap pile on my chest has finally gotten a little too deep. Brett, we're through. I'm sorry. It's not me, it's you.

5. Ed Werder is a douche.
