Favre: Enough with You and Your Deadlines. GO AWAY Already

Brett Favre
Cry Me a RiverI effing can't stand Brett-effin-Fav-Ra. Sure, I've more subtly thrown barbs at the ole' gunslinger in the past, but, truth be told, I wasn't a permanent resident of Hateville, U.S.A. I'm now a card-carrying member. I've reached a breaking point, and, more than anything, I hate Favre for making me hate Favre.
You see, I fell hook, line and sinker for the pitch. Down-to-Earth, laid-back Southern boy rocking Wranglers and playing the game he loves the way we loved to watch him play it. I couldn't get enough. Give me one NFL player to hang out with, and I'm on the next flight down to Mississippi to throw in a lipper, sit on a boat, fish and maybe drink some Busch beer (at least that's how I'd like to envision it). Even after a few of his earlier retirement shenanigans, I was all sorts of fired up at news of his signing by the Jets.
Now? Now! I can't cope with this nonsense anymore. Network crews should just start annually parking their trucks down in Hattiesburg. Attention! Attention! I'm Brett Favre, and I've got an announcement to make! Yesterday, his media whoredome jumped to new heights as the Un-Retirer publicly declared his own self-imposed deadline to announce his decision on playing for the Vikings this 2009 season - to the Vikings and the woooorld!
Yes, the one-man PR machine that is Favre has created at least another week of Favre-a-licious media coverage as analysts break down the zip on his out routes to HS sophomores while he of the cannon arm rocks cargo shorts and shades rest on his head. Gag me with a spoon.
So, when is this new deadline you ask? Well, it's seems it will be convenient for Brett to figure it all out by the first day of Vikings training camp on July 30th. Love yourself much? Apparently dominating the headlines for the better part of the summer is an ambition he'll look to push to its ultimate limits. Luckily for Vikings players, coaches, staff and management, their opening day will have absolutely nothing to do with their existing team, new arrivals or the opening of camp itself. Instead, it will be all about #4, which is exactly the way he likes it.
Way to go, Favre. You've quite literally gone from an all-time favorite of mine to one of my most disliked players. Yet again, you've somehow compelled me to write - regardless of tone or critique - about you. I hate myself for doing that. No more. Maybe you'll end up on the Vikings. I'd prefer at this point you just go away -- quietly. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to! Sorry, always wanted to work that in...

God, I wish this guy would go die already. And yeah, I got sucked into the John Madden "He's having fun out there!" bullcrap. Now, he is just a selfish jerk whos should go away forever.
Guaranteed he will back coming back. This clown doesn't know when enough Is enough. Well put cecelio.
If he's not 100% right now he's not going to achieve it in a little under two weeks which goes to show that the deadline is more about having the spot light on him for the coming days and then having a grand celebration on July 30th.
I hope he ruins the Vikings...and he will.
I'm going to steal a comment I saw somewhere else (don't know where or when it was)......Brett Favre is making me hate There's Something About Mary. Bastard!
