Brett Favre Claims He's One Loss Away From Career-Ending Injury
November 19

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN—Though Vikings quarterback Brett Favre confirmed his ailing right shoulder was "no big deal right now" and that the broken bones in his left foot were "uncomfortable but endurable" for the moment, the three-time MVP told reporters Thursday that one more loss could exacerbate his injuries to the point where he would have to retire. "At this level, and at my age, it would take just one game-breaking play—a deep pass, a long run, anything—by the opposing offense to aggravate an injury to the point where I can't go on," said Favre, who later claimed his injuries become more serious with each defeat he suffers. "It's entirely possible for any given team on our schedule to outscore me so badly I can't physically continue my heroic streak of consecutive starts." Favre also added that any victory he led the 3-6 Vikings to this season would be an amazing display of toughness.

Ha ha. I read it. Then I re-read it. Then my Onion alarm went off and I looked at the link.

Thanks for the laugh.

I'm pretty much a modern day Saint, so I could never wish injury on a fellow human being. But if the Lord wills it...

GOLD!

Reading that article, it was funny, I didn't realize it was the onion at first, but it got me thinking about how slippery Favre is. Brett really is a master of the media. This is the guy who has his wife popping up all over national TV while at the same time is sending dick pics and creepy voicemails to Jenn Sterger, soliciting sex. This is the guy who used his power to intimidate Sterger into not coming forward and then uses the same power to make it seem like she may be lying. This is the guy who doesn't flinch, no matter who or how he hurts. . . . And this is the guy who has a decent portion of the people who follow the Packers believing he is the victim. Brett is a brilliant manipulator. It's scary.

It must piss off the Onion, though, at how hard they have to work to stay one level of weird ahead of Brent.

This is completely hilarious, but you know, you could take it a step further: Brent could be one pick-six interception away from a career-ending injury...

We are through the looking glass with this guy. The career ending injury has already happened.

He just hasn't texted Werder about which body part yet.

If Deanna gets ahold of Brent I think we know which body part will be the most damaged...

Yes. His wallet.

Yes. His wallet.

She better have good aim. It's a small target.

I still say someday in the not-too-distant future she'll go Lorena Bobbitt on said appendage.....I'm just sayin'....

And wouldn't that just be an interesting addition (or subtraction) to his legacy!

What a completely gutless performance by that piece of shit.
