I have a bit of a news flash for some people… Brett Favre is not infact a superhero. Nor is he secret agent James Bond. He is an ordinary, 38 year old human man. Somehow over the 16 seasons he’s played in Green Bay, he’s been turned into an idol QB for many young, aspiring players. I will admit that he’s good, he earns his money on the field, but there has to be a stop to the madness that appeared when he announced he was coming back.
Last season when he announced he was done, forever, the first words out of my mouth when I heard were, “BS. He’ll be back.” My next words were, “Mark my words, he’ll be back.” And low and behold, football season begins to start rolling around and, BAM! He’s back. Surprise, surprise…
Tell me, when did it become okay for tv to be interrupted by “breaking news” about Brett Favre? When did we cross the line as a society that makes it okay to idolize celebrities? Why is it okay for Brett Favre to keep toying with his fans, “I’m leaving…” then, “I’m back!” and, “I’m leaving…” once again, “I’m back!” I’m not the only person who’s sick of it, and it needs to stop.
Thanks for listening to my rant. Does anybody agree or disagree, or care to share their opinion as to why they officially hate me?
