Yikes. Every time I turn on ESPN or log on to my Blackberry for highlights or scores, I have to deal with this Brett Favre circus. It’s the same way a reality show makes you hang on until after the seventeen commercials to see who is going home this week. So you want to see how the Mets did against the Rockies? First, let’s get a comment from Joe Blow radio host in Appleton about Brett Favre possibly coming back to the Packers, or wait…the Packers want to release him…no wait, the Packers might try and trade him and Favre may not come back at all. Was that the Mets score on the bottom of the screen? Dammit! Then while we’re bored by highlights of Derek Jeter and A-Rod hitting home runs in Toronto (A-Rod passed Mickey Mantle? Zzzzzz.), there are TV cameras surrounding Aaron Rodgers at some charity golf tournament in California. That guy looks like he hasn’t slept in 72 hours, and you can’t blame him if he hasn’t. Dude is already in the unenviable position of replacing a legend….if Favre comes back and becomes the starter, Rodgers should demand to be traded or released. He’s saying all the right things, but you know he’s holding back some tirade like, “Come on you Wranglers-wearing, cud-chewing, interception-throwing (oops was that out loud?), number-four-wearing, um, dude (read: redneck)…..make up your mind!!” But he won’t just say it. Also remember that Rodgers was drafted in 2005, and with Iron Man Favre ahead of him, has only attempted 59 passes….and while he’s aging on the bench, the Pack went and drafted Brian Brohm this past April. Welcome, new meat. Mr. Rodgers, you are the starter but need to earn it. And now this. You can feel sorry for Favre all you want, but he brought this circus on himself. As for Rodgers, he didn’t even buy a ticket, and he’s riding the elephant.
