If Favre can retire then nonretire every year, why not every week? Below is a weekly agenda for the Jets' season:
Sunday immediately following game: Favre tells reporters he's "considering" retirement. Says he will come back if all networks agree that cameras will show no player except him.
Monday morning: Favre's agent says client feels "not appreciated" because New York City has not been renamed Brettopolis. Holds tearful farewell news conference, says "I would never go back on my word unless there was something in it for me." Thanks teammates for not coming between him and cameras. Returns to Mississippi.
Monday evening: Hosts vigil in Hattiesburg tent. Tells Oak Grove High School players, "Always be a self-sacrificing team player."
Tuesday morning: Invites hundreds of reporters and cameramen to his farm to see him happily working the land.
Tuesday lunchtime. Tires of working the land.
Wednesday morning. Calls ESPN, New York Times to plant comeback rumor.
Wednesday afternoon. Calls ESPN, New York Times to deny comeback rumor.
Thursday morning. Demands immediate reinstatement. Grants "exclusive" interviews to ESPN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NFLN, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Fox College Sports/Pacific, CSPAN-2, Planet Green, Oxygen, Toon, Home Preview Channel, HBO Signature HD, SOAPNet, Canal Plus and the MHz4 Nigerian TV Authority. (you forgot the Food Network! - grifter)
Thursday evening. Demands New Jersey annex Delaware and give it to him, also demands USM change its sports nickname to the Golden Fours. United States Senate stages all-night emergency session to debate Favre return.
Friday morning. Congress offers $600 billion bailout if Favre returns. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid explains, "We don't care who gets the bailout, we just like to give away borrowed money. Hey Nancy, they want more. OK, $800 billion."
Friday afternoon. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon flies to Hattiesburg in the space shuttle to accompany Favre on his return to New Jersey. Manhattan casting agency hires hundreds of extras to pretend to be adoring Favre fans at arrival.
Saturday morning. Favre attends walk-through, disabled children allowed to touch his garments. (hwaaaahahahahahaha - grifter)
Sunday morning. All other players' names removed from program in order to print Brett Favre in 72-point type across every page. Governor of New Jersey washes Favre's feet during player introductions. (but he's blind! no wait, that's the New York one! - grifter)
Postgame: Favre hints game may have been his last.
other notes: this thing could have been a lot worse than it should be. he could have thrown this tantrum right before August 8 (stealing the thunder from China - shame on you, Putin!), but the sports calendar has been designed as it is. so instead of gagging so much on Brett, we're being fed a steady diet of Phelps. which is not so bad. but check back with me on that in 10 days.
"it's been a very difficult season for me ..."
"ni hao, xiānshēng Favre Brett!"
by the way, my Madden 09 still hasn't been updated and Chad is still a jet. hmmmm ...
