I liked the comment I heard on Hannity last night.

Someone said the White House is changing their position on socialized medicine so often they're actually making Brett Favre look decisive.

Farve has gotten beyond the point of satire, but this was kinda funny.

It is satire, now,
but after about six games
it will be hard news.

I wonder how much playing time he’ll actually have. Actually, I just wonder whether he’ll fake an injury or just throw a tantrum. Either way, I doubt he’ll last the whole season.

I heard that he’s going to play baseball for some minor league club in Mississippi...

He may be an attenion whore but for $25 Million I’d lower my standards a bit too! Even if he plays poorly and gets released right away he keeps $6 Million.

Details...

You know, I never could tell whether he was just misspelling his own name, or everybody was mispronouncing it.

"It was cool, like playing catch with my dad." said rookie receiver Percy Harvin. "But my dad's not that old, and he's got a better arm."

Ya think that's a joke?

How’s the home crowd handling the new blood at QB?

My clan is Vike all the way..
A little added cheese can’t hurt.

Go Vikes!

Favre deserves a certain amount of ridicule for the way he’s handled his on-again/off-again retirement.

On a related matter: Did anybody else take note of the terrible passing accuracy that Favre exhibited on his first day of practice with the Vikings? He was behind a lot of his receivers as well as low on many of his deliveries. I’d have thought that he’d be a little sharper. He has been working out down in Mississippi for some time after all!
