George Carlin Would be Mad!

I’m a big George Carlin fan and love so many of his comedy routines.  However, one of my favorite one liners from him was “vuja de” – which is the feeling that somehow NONE OF THIS has happened before.  Of course, this doesn’t apply to Brett Favre and his interception at the end of the game – just ask Corey Webster of the Giants.  If vuja de applies, it would have to be that Favre was on the road this time and was at home in Lambeau last time but since he grew up in Saints country, even that doesn’t apply.

If we sold football jerseys here, I would immediately begin selling a Saints jersey with Favre’s name and his number on it in honor of that interception that killed the Vikes chances to win the game last night?  How awesome would it be to see the Super Bowl stadium in Miami filled with #4 Favre SAINTS jerseys – that would be classic!  Maybe that throw was a late charitable donation to the Katrina relief fund.

Seconds away from taking another team to the Super Bowl at the age of 40, assuming a kicker actually makes a kick, Favre makes the most fundamental mistake any qb can make – throwing late over the middle and it costs him and the Vikes a potentially fairy tale end to a career.  Now, this deja vu moment means enormous doses of psychotropic drugs for Favre and Viking fans – that and listening to Green Bay Packer fans laughing their ginormous backsides off at the Vikes for all of the trash talking that happened this year.  The Vikes sure are thankful for Buffalo Bill fans to have others to commiserate with.

So where does Favre go from here?  We all know the first step is months of endless speculation about coming back or retiring which means blah blah blah.  However, what goes on inside Favre’s head?  Athletes have the great power of amnesia to forget bad plays – good luck this time.  The carbon copy of the previous horrible play could be the beginning of Brett Favre starring in a lifetime of Grumpier Old Men with Brett mumbling about the games that got away.  Call him the reverse Al Bundy!  Good thing he lives in rural Mississippi or we would have tmz cameras capturing him wandering the streets grumbling about those games.  I guess what it comes down to is: does Favre have the passion to play another season after the beating he took last night and does he has mental “stones” to be able to put this behind him?  My opinion is if he comes back, he will try to win the Super Bowl every week next season and that will only double down on stupidity – he could throw as many interceptions as Jay Cutler!  I wish him well and it will be fun to watch.  What do you think?  Will Favre come back and how will it go if he does?  Please comment and lets have some fun.
