Last night, I couldn't sleep and decided to watch some TV. Since we'd been out of town at a wedding all weekend, I didn't really keep up with the goings-on around the world of sport. Turning on the TV, I flipped to ESPN.
They talked about Brett Favre. Having to run a lap. FOR FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.
Apparently, Favre and Jets center Nick Mangold muffed a snap and coach Eric Mangini made them both run. I understand that it was one in the morning, but did NOTHING else happen yesterday? This whole Favre grab-ass has been infuriating, not only because Favre has whored himself out at every opportunity, but also because he's found a very willing john in ESPN. It's just another step toward all media becoming US Weekly. What's next?
"Thanks, Stu, Chris Mortensen here. I'm at Hofstra University at the Jets' training camp, and Brett Favre has misplaced his keys. Again, Brett Favre has misplaced his keys. I spoke to Favre, and he told me that he usually places them on top of his dresser, but they weren't there. He said to me, 'Chris, I can't believe this. I looked in the Wrangler Jeans I was wearing last night, and they weren't there either.' Favre now plans to retrace his steps over yesterday evening in hopes of recovering the missing keys so the assembled media may take pictures of him as he arrives at practice in his F-250, personifying everything that makes America great. I will keep you posted with new developments. Back to you, Stuart Scott."
Fingers crossed.
